JJ with Monotone Flop
 

I seem to continue to have issue deciding what to do on monotone board

AP .25/.50 6 Max

Hero is UTG+1 with J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG bets, Hero raises , 3 folds, BB calls.

Flop: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
BB checks, UTG bets, Hero ??

What should I do?

Re: JJ with Monotone Flop
 

Easy bet. There are several [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]s that will call, and you don't want them drawing for free. If somebody raises, then you'll just have to play poker.

Also, don't play at Absolute.

I'd raise here. We could have the best hand and the spade drawers aren't going anywhere; charge them.

We can't do that because UTG already did.

Ummm, raise?

And fold to a 3-bet.

raise

:G:
I raise here. We may have the best hand, and raising charges those drawing with a spade. If it is 3-bet you are probably in trouble and should reevaluate on the turn.

My bad. Raise.

Re: JJ with Monotone Flop
 

raise it

Re: JJ with Monotone Flop
 

I raise there mostly since I want to get a spade to fold, plus overcards folding is nice too.. If three bet I probably call down depending on if a spade or something else fell though.. like if he bet into you after an Ace or King fell, id probably fold.

Raise. And plan to go to showdown bar a 4-flush and explosion of action from both Villains. I wouldn't like to see an Ace either.

Re: JJ with Monotone Flop
 

Did UTG raise preflop or just limp?

Either way I would raise here I think. If I get 3-bet my action would depend on the villain. Against LAGs I will call down and expect to see hands like J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] of ten enough to make it correct.

Re: JJ with Monotone Flop
 

UTG just limps.
