BB vs. SB, holding a small pair
Party 3/6. Opponent in this hand is a liberal blind stealer. That's my only read on him thus far (I accumulated more of a read later in the session).
Folded to him in the SB, he raises. I reraise with 4c4h. He calls. Flop is 8h 7h 7d. He checks, I bet, he calls. Turn is Kh. He checks, I... thanks in advance. -McGee |

Re: BB vs. SB, holding a small pair
can you fold to a checkraise?

Re: BB vs. SB, holding a small pair
Probably. I don't think continuing would be terrible though depending on how aggressive you've seen the opponent get. But it's tough for a lot of 12 out hands to call the turn bet with the K falling even though they should so you need to bet regardless IMO.

can you fold to a checkraise? -McGee [/ QUOTE ] No. You have to see a showdown unless the board double pairs above you or villain folds. Definitely bet this turn; that's what I like to do when my hand is best, which yours is here most of the time. Edit: You know you have a flush draw right? A 4 high flush is often the winner headsup. Chances are if you don't have the best hand, you do have the best draw, so a bet is very clearly the best play here. So many things can go right and even if the worst happens (you get check/raised), you probably have 11 outs. |

Re: BB vs. SB, holding a small pair
why not bet here, then? you 1)likely have the best hand here, and 2)likely have the best draw also. missing a bet here would be criminal IMO(i was just asking questions before, i never SAID i would induce a bluff, quite the contratry actually).

Re: BB vs. SB, holding a small pair
You absolutely have to bet this, no questions asked. In hands like this, this play (reraising a pf steal) often your lead on the flop won't end it. Usually a turn BB is required, and if you don't bet this you are wasting the money you put into this pot by trying to defend you Big blind. You have to follow up on this. And yes, a check raise would suck. Sometimes even blind stealing Lags have cards in the small blind.

Re: BB vs. SB, holding a small pair
why not check to induce a bluff on the river?

If he has overcards and you check here, is the plan to just call a river bet? I don't like letting someone with overcards see a free river, and that is his most likely holding, no? |
