55 in trouble

Roy6 · #1 08-10-2005, 08:16 PM

I have trouble playing small pairs.

Button is 26/13/1

Flop is standard? When button calls I think he might well have AK/KJs, 66, 77. I bet the turn 'cause I might be ahead and he could also dump a better hand on the 4-to-straight board. Or should I just simply check-fold?

When he calls, I figure he has me beat. On the river I fire the last barrel, hoping he folds 66, 77, AT, A8 (?)
The river raise is strange for me btw, hard to put him on a hand (except maybe KJ), but I don't think he's capable of bluff-raising with AK here

---

CO calls, Button raises, I call in the BB with 55

Flop is rainbow 8 T Q

checked to button, who bets, I raise, CO folds, button calls

Turn is 9

I bet, button calls

River is 9

I bet, button raises, I fold

You need to let this go sooner. This board is coordinated and all overs. I check/fold the flop, possibly peeling the turn if the guy is super LAGgro, which he isn't.

i fold this on the flop. the flop is highly coordinated and will hit one of their two hands here 90% of the time. just not worth it.

Yeah. fold the flop. Even if your hand is best now it won't be at showdown.
