OK so I am starting my switch to NL cautiously /images/graemlins/smirk.gif
I am trying to come to terms with the differences from Limit, mostly this is which hands to play for a PFR/Limp and when to fold, sounds easy enough...but, also there are considerations for maximising returns which I am a bit at sea on.
TABLE: Been at the table approx. 15 hands so reads not worth much, the Button has been playing most hands and has been pretty aggro, BB I am not sure about but he seems loose but not awful.
No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) by Hand Converter CG (http://www.softforpoker.com/handconverter/)
<font color="#C00000">Naphand ($39.10)</font>
<font color="#C00000">BB ($51.65)</font>
UTG ($16.05)
MP ($15)
CO ($13.10)
<font color="#C00000">Button ($8.90)</font>
Preflop: Naphand is SB with 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif. MP posts a blind of $0.25.
UTG folds, MP (poster) checks, CO folds, Button calls $0.25, Naphand completes, BB checks.
Flop: ($1) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Naphand checks, BB checks, MP checks, Button checks.
Turn: ($1) 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Naphand bets $0.75</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $1.5</font>, MP calls $1.50, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $8.65</font>, Naphand /images/graemlins/confused.gif
So I have the nuts (and a re-draw to a weak flush). Lots of possiblities on this board.
Given my hand and the re-draws, that Button is all-in and 2 other players have also called the raise, who favours a keep strategy of calling the Turn bet, who favours pushing the Turn.
My feeling is just to call the push and hope BB/MP stays in, but I run the risk of a re-draw hitting on the River.
Comments appreciated.
