Tough spot with overpair

#1 10-08-2005, 02:27 PM

Recently sat down at the table, no good reads.
PartyPoker 400$ NL 6-handed.

Preflop:
(UTG) Hero (400$): Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] raises to 16$
(button) Villain1 (~$200$): Calls
(SB) Villain2 (~400$): Raises to 38$
(UTG) Hero: Calls
(button) Villain1: Calls

Flop (Pot ~ 120$):
4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
(SB) Villain2: Bets 60$
(UTG) Hero: Action?

What do you put SB on (not really afraid of button)?

Anyone got some hints?

With approximately 200 in the pot, you are worried about a $60 bet?

Well? You're suggesting a call and then what?

Actually, I would have reraised preflop, only two hands that can beat you at that point. Here, I would raise, probably pot-sized. I could be wrong though, but I tend to be really aggressive post flop.

This is very bad.

It's a tough spot for sure. I'd call the flop and lose my stack on the turn probably. You lose your stack fairly often here, but at least play in a manner that maximizes your earn when you are ahead.

Do you not think that he could be on a draw, and why would you not want to make that expensive? Just asking?

This is why I have decided to start posting.

I like 3-bet making it $100 to go pre-flop. He could have AK very easily here, but i'd rather know before the flop if he's willing to stack off with his hand. At that point at least you have enough info to make some guesses as to his holdings without making a blind call on the flop.

As played with your PF call, I'm going to call the flop and see whether he can fire another pot sized bet on the turn, if he doesn't im going to test him, if he does i'm going to seriously consider folding.
