Roughly 25 people left in a Ub $100. I have a slightly less than average stack of 28k with the blinds at 400/800 with some normal sized ante. I make it 2k in MP with 1010 and a very aggresive BB calls me. He has me slightly covered. Flop is K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. BB checks. Whats your plan?

I probably throw out about a 2/3-pot size bet (3k-ish I assume?), and fold to a c/r. You have enough money to make this move, and you'll be left with enough if you get forced off the hand.

no club.

I am thinking you are afraid of a checkraise. I bet out 2500-3000 but I am a fish what do I know. If he raises me I think of pushing as he almost never has the king on that spot. If he flat calls I have reevaluate on the turn.

check, raise any turn

edit: saw you didn't have a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], make that raise any non-club. if its a club, it depends on what his action is. if he checks i'm betting any turn card.

An integral part of the plan is the why. There's no why in your answer.

Heads up against an aggressive opponent. If you had top pair or better I think you'd check the flop hoping he'd lead out on the turn. If he's a thinking and aggressive player, if he bet the flop I think he raises assuming you wouldn't play a good hand that way.

So, I'd check the flop. Probably call a reasonable turn bet.

SossMan · #9 10-19-2005, 02:55 PM

wow, bunches of options here.

If he's super aggressive then I don't mind throwing out 3k and pushing if he checkraises you to like 8-10k. It seems that most aggressive players would reraise preflop w/ any decent K. Esp against you (were you being you?)

are we in the money?

Another line could be to check behind and raise the turn bet that's coming if it's not an AJQ. I probably like the flop line better assuming you are not going to lay down to a checkraise. Tough spot though.

the only thing that sucks about calling a turn bet is that on ub, its almost always just a betpot. and you hate to have to just call that on both the turn and river.
