Would you have made the same laydown?
Very small limit cash game - .05/.10 blinds.. most buy in for $5-10.. I bought in for $7
Im UTG with 9-9. I make it $.60 to go. I get 2 callers.. the SB and BB. Flop comes 7-9-J with 2 spades (7 and 9) SB immediately goes all-in for $9.10. He was a bit on tilt.. but the other guy in the hand calls big best with middle pair all the time, so I thought he hit the flop big (10-8 for the nut straight) and was hoping for a call from this other guy. The guy that went all-in is a friend of mine and we have played together for about 2 years. I know his style, and the few times I have seen him make that kind of bet, he usually had the nuts, or top pair with some kind of draw. BB thinks for a long time. He only has $4 left.. he calls. Meanwhile, I have a set of 9s. And I really have the feeling he has 10-8. But even if he does, I have a lot of outs to a full house. If the turn doesnt pair, I have 13 outs on the river. My stack is at about $18 With the all-ins the pot is sitting at about $15 and change. I layed it down and sure enough the SB did have 10-8 (shitty hand to be playing with, but he loves his suited connectors - and I know this) So in the end, I made the right read.. but was I getting good enough odds to draw to the full house? The board did pair Js on the turn, so I would have ended up winning, but I was behind. Would you have made the same laydown with the knowledge I had of the player all-in? |

Re: Would you have made the same laydown?
Basically what you are asking here is how much we trust your read. I dont feel like doing any math but considering the overlay you are getting from the BB and your outs to fill up you probably gotta be like 80%+ sure he has T8.

Re: Would you have made the same laydown?
If your friend showed you the T8 in his hand, and we put the other guy on something plausible with a J or 9 (or maybe a big pair) you only stand to lose $1.67 in EV. If there's any significant chance that your friend would push with a hand like A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or worse then I think you can happily call here.
In the heat of the moment I would definitely have called. Still, good read. |

Why the pre flop raise with 9-9? Trying to steal the blinds?

Why the pre flop raise with 9-9? Trying to steal the blinds? [/ QUOTE ] It was only 5 handed and the table was 'fairly' tight... not exactly tight in their preflop calls, but much tighter on the flop (with the exception of 1 guy) And the other guy in the hand who had only $4 left fliped over an A-7clubs. Bottom pair. I dont understand that kid, but I sure do love his money. |
