No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25

Converter (http://www.neildewhurst.com/hand-converter)

Stack sizes:
UTG: $12.20
UTG+1: $32.50
CO: $10
Hero: $27.95
SB: $16.85
BB: $18.05

Large stack villain had played normally and hadn't gotten out of line over a good amount of hands. CO is a donk and I'm pretty sure I'm ahead of him. I could have raised the flop but that min bet was very suspicious to me so I threw in a chip.

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 7/images/graemlins/club.gif
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $0.5</font>, CO calls, Hero calls, 2 folds.

Flop: 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif K/images/graemlins/club.gif 4/images/graemlins/club.gif ($1.85, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 bets $0.25</font>, CO calls, Hero calls.

Turn: 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif ($2.6, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 bets $1</font>, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $2</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $7</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $13</font>, <font color="#cc0000">CO calls all-in $7.25</font>, Hero ???

FWIW, I fold the flop.

Turn: Hero sprains his index finger pushing down the mouse button faster than any other person in the history of computers as he goes all-in?

Why do you fold on the flop here?

Because I misread the size of the flop bet, I thought it was $1.25. The minbet with me closing the action is good for a call.

if they have 1 of the 3 hands that beat you then just punch your screen and calmly sit back down

Turned 2nd set and the pot is offering me 5:1 odds...hmmmm, what to do? what to do?

Seriously, is there a question here? Could have raised preflop or flop but neither is clearly better than a call.

[MortenTA]

very standard push here

[Big Poppa Smurf]

why is this entire forum so worried about running into the nuts every hand they play????

here is a simple guide to improve everyone's play at unl:

step 1: flop anything that beats top pair
step 2: get all in
step 3: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[TyFuji]

push it real good

[Scottery]

beat him to the pot quickly....

I wasn't trying to make the big lay down. The hand seemed so consistent with the way a uNL semi-donk would play a big hand. On the turn I rightly or wrongly narrowed his range to AA, KK or AK. As my timer was running out I "came to my senses" and tried to make the allin reraise and failed to do so. Villain did have KK and shorter villain showed T5c hitting a flush on the river. The hesitation ultimately saved me but I agree that getting it all in at this level has to be correct.

The only hand you should be really worried is KK. Man, I would always push this. Always. Come on, set over set? I just never assume it, but if I lose, than be it.

Also, if it were 1.25 bet and one caller I will always call with pocket pair. You need to win eight times your bet, so 2 times your bet is already there, somebody will bet the flop also and sometimes this will go to all in. I almost always fold pp less than TT if there is no caller, but if there is one (or more!), I call.

ALL IN

You definitely should NOT be folding small pocket pairs for a raise just because there are no other callers. These are huge money makers at micro-NL.
