Missed AK or Flush Draw, or does He Have the Goods?
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) converter
$30 + $3 UTG (t895) UTG+1 (t2910) MP1 (t1325) MP2 (t2150) CO (t1290) Button (t2490) SB (t1370) Hero (t1070) Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero calls t50. I will usually call in this spot since I still have 20x BB and am getting more than 3-to-1 odds not counting the implied odds if I flop my set. Flop: (t225) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t225</font> I'm usually of the "no set, no bet" mindset, but this looks like a pretty good flop to take a pop at. In hindsight, I probably should have bet t150 to t175 to gain the same information. Does anybody routinely check fold here? <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t2050</font>, Hero....? This smells strongly like the either the missed AK or flush draw. Of course, could be a bigger PP or trips afraid of the flush draw and I'm already beat. Pot is offering nearly 2-to-1 odds. What's your move, and is it even a hard decision...? |

Re: Missed AK or Flush Draw, or does He Have the Goods?
you're asking the forum if they have a better read on your opponents raise than someone who just spent 30 minutes playing with him. this is a clear fold. for the record, a flush draw with overcards is significantly ahead of you at this point, since a 6 counterfeits your hand, giving him 18 outs. even AK has a 35% chance to win when you throw the 6 in. run screaming.
oops, the flush draw with overcards has 17 outs since you have the 5 of diamonds. |
