Calling a push with overpair when board pairs
Villain has a VPIP of 40. Anyone thinks this is a bad call? I thought about it for a good while.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (7 handed) converter Hero (t715) CO (t1460) Button (t1810) SB (t1265) BB (t915) UTG (t800) MP1 (t1035) Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG calls t30, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG calls t70. Flop: (t245) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t30</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t250</font>, UTG calls t220.

Re: Calling a push with overpair when board pairs
You have half your stack in the pot, I can't see how you can fold this. I think you should bet less on the flop though. Still wouldn't fold the turn, personally.

Raise a tiny bit more preflop, and then you get to push the flop [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I know the conventional wisdom on these forums is "raise at least 5xBB with AA/KK and they will call you anyway since they are morons". I don't really agree with that for mainly two reasons. First, poor players fold with hands they want to call with. Second, more importantly, good players fold hands they want to call with that I like my chances against (AK, AQ, JJ) since the 5xBB raise is like sending up a flare. Level 1 I raise more than level 2 though, for whatever it is worth. |
