Meh, this is tricky. I only see two possible hands here, a set of 5's or the nut flush draw. I think jacks or higher would of re raised preflop, and jack X would not check raise that flop. I'm leaning more towards him having the flush draw so I call the push.

My guess leads me to beleive villain would push any straight or straight draw and c/r w/ a 9 and lead with a jack.

Did villain possibly have 2 pair or k9,q9?

Please explain the min-raise.

So limp JJ but raise A9o UTG? Man I really don't get the 109s I guess.

Jbrochu · #5 11-10-2005, 05:17 PM

Do they never flat call an UTG raise with a big PP at the $109s? Why is not possible for BB to have QQ or KK and want to take this pot down now?

i think this is very read-dependent

I'd raise JJ here. I limp it early in EP because there's enough tards in that half the time I send up getting called by all three overcards. On this hand, I min raise tons of stuff in this spot when I'm feeling frisky because it gets so much respect. A9 is at the bottom of the ace range I would raise here. (probably should make it AT really)

Villain is a well known pro. (which is why I'm picking on his bb)

Oh I see! Why the minraise? Is that somewhat standard for you, or a function of your stack size, or something to do with the well-known pro in the BB? Is he apt to fold to minraises?
