22, suckily played middle pair
The villain is quite bad. He's shown a willingness to limp in, even with these substantial blinds, with a pretty broad assortment of crap. My stack is slightly larger (14 BBs) than I would prefer to push PF with at this point, particularly with 2 players remaining to act.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) converter UTG (t2805) MP (t2250) Hero (t2170) SB (t2585) BB (t3690) Preflop: Hero is Button with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls t150, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t450</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP calls t300. Flop: (t1125) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> MP checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t500</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to t1800</font>, Hero calls t1220 (All-In). If you get postflop here (which I'm guessing many won't), how are you playing this flop? |

Re: 22, suckily played middle pair
Bump. Which is the bigger turnoff, "suckily played" or "middle pair"?

Re: 22, suckily played middle pair
If you get to the flop, I'd shove and try to pick it up 90% of the time. I don't think raising to t450 is terrible, BTW.
You can also try to check for more info, folding to most bets, and planning to shove if he checks. But I don't like giving 6 free outs away. |

Re: 22, suckily played middle pair
I think I'd fold the flop to his raise.
I like your flop bet, though--but you have to give this one up. |
