Push top pair J kick here ?
Both of these players love to limp any two face cards.
I didnt want to push preflop because I just stole from StJohn. The min raise seems like a foolish idea with my stack size so I decided to check and see the flop. As I see it postflop, the only thing I have to worry about is one of them holding 88 or 66. Flush draw is a possibility too but Im not about to lay this down with such odds. What would you do ? #Game No : 2336146443 ***** Hand History for Game 2336146443 ***** NL Hold'em $10 Buy-in + $1 Entry Fee Trny:13786403 Level:5 Blinds(75/150) - Saturday, July 09, 15:07:08 EDT 2005 Table Table 35133 (Real Money) Seat 10 is the button Total number of players : 5 Seat 6: Tminus9 ( $955 ) Seat 1: awertqetqb46 ( $1230 ) Seat 9: rooster774 ( $1015 ) Seat 7: stjohns17 ( $520 ) Seat 10: kgw37 ( $4280 ) Trny:13786403 Level:5 Blinds(75/150) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to Tminus9 [ Ac Js ] stjohns17 calls [150]. rooster774 calls [150]. kgw37 folds. awertqetqb46 folds.

IMO, you make it harder on yourself to put him on 8 8, 6 6, or a flush draw by checking. even still, i probably would've played the same way on the flop after checking. |

Re: Push top pair J kick here ?
OK, you didn't raise PF (bad, but oh well).
Why do you now feel the urgent need to make a 2 outer fold rather than bluff into you with his 2 outs? |
