----------
Chips:
Me(UTG): ~24,000
Button: ~3000
SB:~22,000
BB: ~11,000

Blinds are 400/800

I'm in UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]-9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I limp in. button calls, sb folds, BB checks.

Flop 10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Button is a very tight but solid player.

What is your move here?

Looking back, 4 handed I should have raised pre-flop to represent strength. Then I'm thinking I should have bet this flop, about 1/2 the pot, what I actually did was check, Button pushed and I called with an open ended straight draw (stupid!).

Hand 2....
----------
Chips:
Me: ~22,000
SB: ~8000
BB:~18,000
UTG: ~12,000

UTG limps
I raise to 2400, folds to UTG, who goes all-in.
He's a solid player.
Call or fold?


Hand 3....
----------
Chips:
Me: ~20,000
Button: ~10000
SB:~14,000
BB: ~16,000

Blinds 400/800

I'm UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I raise to 2400, folds to BB, who goes all-in.

He's gone all in several times the past few hands, but is a solid player.

Call or fold?
