Raising the pretty-stack wannabe with crappage
No read on UTG, haven't seen him do this before.
20NL on iPoker network Hero ($34.95) BB ($13.83) UTG ($29.47) Button ($19.4) Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] UTG raises to $0.47, Button folds, Hero raises to $1.4 Right, so he raised to have exactly 29 in his stack. Smells fishy so I re-pop it to 1.4 with absolutely nothing. Thoughts on this?

Re: Raising the pretty-stack wannabe with crappage
Is it 3-handed?
He might just have OCB or something. Looks weird but I still don't want to play a hand like this oop against a raise. Do you really think he wants to dump some chips so he has a nice stack? He probably intended to raise something like 0.5 and has that kind of holding. I wouldn't attack this just for this peculiarity.

Re: Raising the pretty-stack wannabe with crappage
I guess if you have a read. but if your read is that he'll have exactly 29, than i think it's spew. you're building a big pot oop with horrible cards.

Re: Raising the pretty-stack wannabe with crappage
Genz and Paul,
From reading your posts I'm not sure you understood what I meant. Pardon me if you did. UTG has $29.47 in his stack before the hand and after he raised to exactly $0.47 he has $29 in his stack. That's what cought my attention while playing the hand, because I don't really see him raising 2.35bb for any reason. I forgot to mention in the OP that UTG had made normal 4bb raises untill this.
