Somewhat deep 10-20 vs mehbameh
 

Mehbameh got 4.5k, I cover.
He raises 55 in cutoff, fish button cold calls, I call in SB with A5h, BB folds.
Flop is As 2s 5d.
Mehbameh bets 140, I raise to 330, he reraises to 780...
action?

call

edit: lead next time, rather than check-minraising like a huge vag.

Re: Somewhat deep 10-20 vs mehbameh
 

it wasn't a min-raise, although I agree that it was too small. but i like a c/r since many people will read it as a draw, or as bluffing to try to get him to fold a pocket pair. and it gains a continuation bet since everyone CBs an ace high flop no matter what garbage they were raising.

and RD is awesome and not a big vag. wish he posted more.

Re: Somewhat deep 10-20 vs mehbameh
 

I just wish he made 4.2k on this hand instead of what he did.

Re: Somewhat deep 10-20 vs mehbameh
 

given that he has 55, I would fold.

Renaud,

Welcome. How long have you been playing man's poker? Good to see you here!

This is one where if I wasn't happy about getting a big pot going, I'd either lead or check-call here rather than checkraise. Now he gets to conrol the size of the pot and momentum.

Since I decided to checkraise, I'm often calling here and checkraising allin on the turn.

But this is one of those weird hands where the tempo of the game, how I've been tangling w/ this guy, etc. play a big part in how I play it. Definitely no standard play here w/ these stacks and this hand.

Diablo,

He started playing NL after i absolutley owned him at our 2+2 2-4 LHE drunkfest. I donk some turn after going "OH WHAT A CARD!" and renaud folded second pair. Since then he has been taking up NL.

Ace five is not the nuts here btw.

Re: Somewhat deep 10-20 vs mehbameh
 

This is a tough situation here btw.I would probably call and c/r and non spade or K turn. However if this guy doesn't get creative with draws, he is usually going to have A5,A2,22,55,AA here. Obviously if thats the case, i would call the flop raise and try to keep the pot small if possible.

he has a set or 34

edit: he could also have A2s or A5s, but those hands are of course less likely than a set or 34, so I would fold the way it is played. however, i would have led the flop.

Thanks for the analysis el d.
I gave it a try this month after 6 years of girly poker. I ended up winning a little, although I made lots of stupid plays. At least I recognized them...Also, I had some tilt going on for the first time in ages. Hopefully, I'll get better soon.

Leading the flop here and get raised. You still have a set or 34 in the back of your mind. Do you call and check-fold turn?
