View Full Version : NL 50: Too Aggro with my TT?

Villain has been at table for one orbit and he bought in short. I put in a huge overbet preflop because the entire table had been limp-calling WAY too much and I didn't want to play TT OOP in a multiway pot. So the 9xbb raise PF was mostly out of frustration. But I am primarily concerned with postflop. Do I have any FE when I bet the turn?

i'm sure you have some, but not a whole lot. the J is still tops, spades made it, and you're holding two of the tens. without knowing more about villain, you'll get some folds, but its a relatively bad turn card for it.

Well, for the UTG it's gonna be hard to put him on a hand range, I would say any small pairs, suited connectors (98+), maybe some weird played AA/KK/QQ&amp;#65292;or AJo+&amp;#65292; I don't see any weaker hands call our large preflop raise.

Out of those hands, what hands can call our almost pot size flop bet? He's either on a strong draw or has already a made hand. And the turn card will complete the flush draw.

We certainly have some FE, but i don't think it's large given the villain's preflop play. I think we check and fold to a shove here. too weak?

Raise less pf, bet less on the flop. You don't need to build a big pot, because he's short enough for us to able too put him AI by the river anyway. So you got yourself in a very ugly and expensive spot mainly by inflating the pot OOP. Readless I c/c a small bet, he's either made a hand on the flop or had a strong draw. I think you have not much FE on the turn, because he's short and already invested more than 1/3 of his stack and probably thinks you're fos or maybe he's fos, in either case he's not very likely to fold TP or better.

What are his stats?

This was an ugly hand. There was no way he was calling me with anything worse than what I had, so I bet as a bluff, hoping to fold out TP, weirdly played overpairs and small pp 22-77, one of which just made a set doh!. I don't normally make the play readless, but his timing on the flop call made me think he was weak. But looking back, my preflop action probably made me look like I was stealing $ from the limpers, so I wondered if he was floating with a small PP on the flop.

Preflop is meh, but not terrible.
Flop is fine - but he wont be calling you with much that you beat.
...which is why you should c/f that turn.
