This is funny

10-20 full table at Pokerroom. UTG, a good player folds. A fishy UTG+1 limps and it's folded to me in Bu with:

K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I say to myself, easy money, as I put in my isolation raise. SB folds and while I'm waiting for BB, an ok player, to act I look at the table again and realize I've misread it, and UTG is the limper. BB calls. Now I'm in trouble. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] The Flop comes:

K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

A miracle! I've flopped top 2 pair. It's check, check, bet, call, call.

The Turn is 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

It's check, check, bet, call, fold.

The River is 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

It's check, bet, call, and my hand is good. Anyway, I had to leave shortly after that. I sure hope those guys were taking notes. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

BTW, in post game analysis I was wondering if I could have gotten any more out of this hand.

i fail to see where this is funny

however i would raise an UTG limper with KTo on the button everytime.

I agree that it's funny, mostly because it's happened to me a few times: raise-wtf? damn, that's a limper, not the blind...

anyway, I don't think you make much more on the hand bc of your position. even if you check through the flop, the only way you increase the amount you make is if you get to raise a later street and you get called down. that's probably not happening enough to give up what you make by just firing. 5BB on a misread pfr is pretty good, no?

can we just ban this guy?

you needed to raise on the flop on this very draw heavy board. you need to eliminate gutshot straight draws and make the flush draws call 2 cold.

Who would you like him to raise?

In today's poker climate, you are probably right, without strong indications that it's unwise (for instance, UTG limper is a notorious limp-reraiser of AA/KK, but open-raises most other hands).

my bad, i counted the bet sequence wrong, i thought he called the flop.

utg seems like a great player. he must be if he can employ a limp, call, call, call line.
