top set on flush board
Live 1/2
I'm UTG in a relatively loose live game, when I'm dealt J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Now I absolutely HATE playing JJ--so I make this hand $16 to go, hoping to end the action right there, rake my 3 bucks and move on to the next hand.
UTG ($137) bets $16
UTG +2 ($130) calls
Button ($45) calls
BB (~$65) calls
So, with $65 in the pot, the flop comes:
4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
While I'm not happy with the four hearts, I am 99% sure I'm ahead.
The only fear I have is A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], but I'm thinking that hand raises preflop, hoping to win right there. Even against a flush, I still have seven one-card outs on the turn, and likely 10 on the river.
An overpair with a heart is also a possibility.
As far as reads go, UTG +1 has been pretty loose. I've seen him play a lot of hands, showing some marginal ones, but I don't see him paying $16 on small hearts, connected or otherwise.
I know the Button player to be the type to play any two cards. He is capable of moving on a pot with nothing. But he's not suicidal--he'll get out of the way of perceived strength if he doesn't have outs.
BB has been rock-tight. He has played very few hands, only showing down winners.
I know what I did--What's your move?
