JJ in the BB - Foxwoods 1/2 hand
Pretty early in my session, probably 3rd orbit. I got KK early and re-raised a bad player to my right to 40 or 50 so I could push/call any flop. Despite 4 to a suit on board by the river (that I didn't have) my Kings held against his AJ or some crap.
The guy in the one seat seems like he is a LAG. I have seen him raise quite a bit PF and do things like call a flop bet and then bet when checked too on the next street. Others in this hand haven't done anything to give me a read yet. I have about 175-200 and get JJ in the BB. One seat (suspected LAG) limps UTG+1 as do 2 others. I bump it to 15. All the limpers call. I think everyone covers me here, at least S-LAG and 1 other did. Flop (~60) 884r I bet 45 .... So far so good? |

I almost always bet half pot on a totally drawless board; this is a matter of convention. The preflop raise is debatable but I am in favour of it here given your weak opponents.

Re: JJ in the BB - Foxwoods 1/2 hand
If you get called in one spot, your stack size and the pot are roughly equal on the turn. I'd rather bet a little more and then my turn push is more callable by worse pocket pairs. Another option would be to checkraise the flop all-in. People play so bad in that game I assume JJ is way the best hand here and am looking to double up more than to figure out where I'm at and/or get away cheaply.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah nice, I can't remember my exact stack size but I know it was somewhere in the range. I wanted to get the pot so that I could push the turn if called. Wasn't sure if I made it enough or not. I was also wondering if anyone liked a c/r all in here as I considered it with relative position on the guy that seems to be the Laggiest. An odd move, but probably good at the Woods game. I assume JJ is the best here most of the time too in this crazy game, but then I was thown a curveball. S-Lag makes it 100 more into the field and everyone folds. He most definetly raises a big PP here PF so this is either air or an 8 most likely IMO. He has his head down and is staring at the felt, his hat is sheilding his face well. Push? Fold? |

Re: JJ in the BB - Foxwoods 1/2 hand
You should not go for a checkraise here. Your hand is vulnerable to overcards, you can't afford to give a free card.
If both players were to call this bet and a blank hits the turn I'd probably push. |

Push? Fold? [/ QUOTE ] Totally an in-the-moment read decision. From some people, that will be an 8 100% of the time; from others, that will never be an 8 because they always want to slowplay. Live reads and knowing who's who are crucial to this decision. |

Re: JJ in the BB - Foxwoods 1/2 hand
Tough one. When in doubt I usually try to see what villain wants wants me to do and do the opposite. Since you were the only one there, you have to make a read and go will it. If you are wrong, you at least bought yourself an expensive read on villain.

Re: JJ in the BB - Foxwoods 1/2 hand
Yeah, this is fine. Just call all in on the flop or push the turn. Never fold an overpair here.
