Another hand vs Rekwob (Full tilt $75 6 handed)
 

This is a hand from yesterdays full tilt $75 short handed.

Rekwob is the BB with about 7700.
I'm button with about 6600.
Blinds 100/200

We're 5 handed for the time being, and i've been moderately aggressive. Rekwob has yet to play back at me yet.

I hold K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on the button.

Preflop: Folds to me, i raise to 550, SB folds, rekwob calls.

Flop: Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Rekwob bets 600, I?

Line me.

So I guess no read on what he weak leads with? That varies sooo much from good player to good player.

But, I think a raise here looks really bluffy, so why not call? IT doesn't really turn our hand over because presumably we're calling with lots of marginal hands too.

call, and shove any turn card if he checks.

Im still pretty new here, and trying to learn by posting & responding..

I shove this. I would think he must be on something like Ace Jack. He is leading pretty strong, enough that says he may well fold to a shove.... Assuming he even folds 10-15% of the time I think this is a solid play. When he does call you, at the very worst you have 4 outs twice for the straight (sf) the real most likely scenario on a call is that you have 13 outs twice, and theres plenty in the pot already for overlay.

At these stack sizes your not in the money yet right? I would think he is stabbing at this pot and willing to fold. If he folds he still has 6600 NP, he knows if he calls you the most likely scenario is that he is up against a hand with a lot of drawing potential, I dunno, I really think he mucks a jack here.

I don't know about a line for the rest of the hand but, I like calling here because as mentioned I don't think it reveals your hand. In fact, I think he might be more likely to call a value raise from your made hand if you call here and raise a scare card.

You want to bet ~5k into a ~2.5k pot?

How has he been playing? I'm not sure of his style or how often he's leading out a flop when he called a raise PF as it is usually either something players do a lot or never.

Now, we have 1200 in the pot PF and he leads out 1/2 pot. You have 6k left at this point. With the flush draw, gut shot draw, and an over I think you have plenty of outs even if you're behind right here.

A lot of people will want to call this and see a turn card, but if you completely miss the turn what do you do when he fires a 2nd barrel? Fold?

My play on this is raise to 2k-ish. If all goes well he folds right here and we take down a sizable pot. If he calls we wait and see what the turn brings and play it from there.

I can see this as him just leading out a flop that has a lot of potential scares to you and trying to take it down. He's going to be folding to a raise a lot of the time here IMO. Calling the flop looks like either a monster or a monster draw. I do not think you get paid off on a straight or flush here if it hits on the turn with you calling on the flop.

I am not familiar with the play in such events, nor Rekwobs style.

What kind of holdings do you think he could be taking this line with?

How often do you expect it to be just some kind of blind defense?

Hero folds. IMO you had to become the aggressor on the flop if you wanted to take this pot down without hitting your hand. By raising on the flop, if he calls to see the turn he's very very likely to check it to you. At which point you can shove this Q and take the pot down. As it is you looked very weak on the flop and I don't see him laying down to a shove on the turn regardless of holdings (I'm of course assuming he has at least something decent like a J or PP, of course a Q is calling)
