1/2 nl live Q9s
i'm on the CO with 100$ holding Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
villain is button with same stack; no reads, he just sat. preflop: 6 limpers, flop seeing (9$ after rake): 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG opens for 15$, 1 caller, 2 folders, I call, button min raises to 30$. both players fold, it's on me HU. my stack is 83$ before the min raise call, if that's what i'm going to do...

Re: 1/2 nl live Q9s
Your options are push, fold, or call.
If you push, you have (usually) pretty good folding equity. Without reads, this is a dangerous move, as your opponents may call with TPTK or something of the sort, lowering your FE. Your hand is somewhat readable, and you played it exactly like a FD (not saying that is bad, I play it the same). A benefit to pushing is not having to make any further decisions regarding the turn or river. Pushing ends all action on the flop, so instead of playing OOP and seeing a blank turn, you won't have to worry about such decisions. One of the main reasons I don't like pushing is your not even drawing toward the NFD. I'd be more inclined to push with the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]x [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. EDIT: after reading a bit over my post, I don't mind a call. You have dead money in the pot/relatively good odds. If a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] falls, I usually c/r all in or lead for full pot. If it blanks, I c/f.

Re: 1/2 nl live Q9s
IMO folding is the worst option. I call here and c/f or c/c a blank turn depending on the odds he lays me. If I hit my flush I lead 1/2 pot on the turn, and value bet river.

Re: 1/2 nl live Q9s
Push is pretty bad imo, who just calls the utg lead with a made hand on this board?

Re: 1/2 nl live Q9s
Even a donk will know the call push is fishy. You'll prob get a call from tpgk at these stakes.
