A better line early in an 11?
Table 1 - 15/30 - No Limit Hold'em - 10:37:40 ET - 2005/09/02
Seat 1: Button (1,485) Seat 2: SB (1,470) Seat 3: Hero (1,500) Seat 4: UTG (1,665) Seat 5: UTG+1 (1,500) Seat 6: MP1 (1,500) Seat 7: MP2 (1,500) Seat 8: MP3 (1,500) Seat 9: CO (1,380) SB posts the small blind of 15 Hero posts the big blind of 30 The button is in seat #1 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Hero [Qc Ac] Syren13 raises to 60 Sakic calls 60 All fold to Hero Hero calls 30 *** FLOP *** [As 2s 7s] Hero bets 125 UTG folds UTG+1 raises to 250 Hero calls 125 *** TURN *** [As 2s 7s] [3s] Hero bets 200 UTG+1 raises to 400 Hero folds Basically I feel like I played this poorly on every street, and am looking for a new line to take with strong but not dominant hands oop in pots where someone else has shown (admittedly light) aggression preflop, and on scary flops that are good for me but potentially better for someone else. Thoughts? |

Against certain opponents, I would bet into that flop with any two cards. Players on the 11s are super scared of flushes. Quite often, a 3/4 size bet into that pot will take it down.
With the OP's hand, I like betting the flop against two opponents. |

they are the pf raisers
i would check and see what they do instead of just betting out for them to reraise me once they reraise, i'm gone |

They are pf raisers, but that doesn't mean they have the flush. They also may have had JJ, QQ, KK (and at the 11's KJ, A8s, etc.). You have top pair with second best kicker, I think a flop bet is necessary. Otherwise, why not fold pf?

Well played til the turn. On the turn, you're a dog to a random hand with an ace in it (cool fact, right?). Also, very few players at the 11s are gonna bet with a hand that you're losing to. Fact number 1 means you shouldn't bet. Fact number 2 means you should fold if bet into. If, however, it goes check/check on the turn, I might blocking bet the river.

Re: A better line early in an 11?
Flop bet was good. I would check-fold to the turn bet once the 4th spade hit. Debateable part is calling his raise to 250 on the flop. I might just fold there. All I've got is top pair, might be up against a made flush... it's still early and with plenty of chips I might wait for a better spot later on. Even if a 4th spade doesn't hit on the turn, you're in a tough spot if he raises again - you could potentially lose a lot of chips on a top pair hand, not something you want to do early in a tournament.
