Top pair w/ flush draw vs. UTG limper

pokerraja · #1 04-20-2005, 01:25 AM

Party 100 mtt. about 170 left of 340. average is T2200. BB is 100. no reads on UTG. Obviously he smelled of AA or KK here after he raised my flop bet. My thinking is I need to double up drastically, and its pretty much a coinflip after I get this monster flop, plus maybe I can get him to fold to my all-in. comments.

Looks fine to me. I don't care if UTG has pokcet aces. You are about even if he does.

Tou could have initially made a larger flop bet or gone for a checkraise, but the way you played it seems OK.

yah, my Q high flush beat his AA. I thought my play was fairly standard usually, but this time I was fairly confident my opponent had AA or KK, so my push has no folding equity most likely. So basically I was ready to roll the dice on this hand.

Are you still in?

No, I busted on bubble. 44 left. I have T5500. Folded to me on cutoff with AQs, I push all-in. get called by Big stack BB with 77. He wins. I think I blew that one. bad move?

Obviously not. Just unlucky you couldn't win your coinflip, would have been nice.

Does one really need to push in that situation, or wouldn't a 3X BB raise be enough?

I generally go for a check-raise in this situation, but your play isn't bad. Ni han.
