T9s vs. unknown

afk · #1 04-11-2005, 05:49 PM

Sorry, I don't have any reliable read on villain for this hand. So treat him as unknown.

I assume the preflop raise is standard. But I feel like I just got outplayed on the flop. To be honest I'm not sure why I raised. I think I didn't want to give up that easily. How would you guys play this hand? Why?

You should fold to the flop 3-bet without thinking about it again. And I don't raise preflop with the limper, only first 1 from the button with T9s.

i also dislike the pf raise, you're gonna be looking at a 3-way pot the majority of the time you do this.

i also dislike the flop raise. i'd call the flop. if the turn was a high diamond, then i would probably make a play for it. i save my going to war with nothing here for at least K-high.

If it changes anything, it's a poster, not a limper.

Poster is still getting 5:1 preflop, so you're only eliminating worst hands. Also, I'm only thinking about making the flop raise with a read on villian beyond pokertracker.
