The Old Min-CheckRaise
 

Stars 2/4 6 max

Hero is playing very laggy, about 40% VPIP. I have been raising a ton and as a result am getting crazy action on my big hands.

Villain in the hand falls in love with hands he shouldn't; I have seen him get it all in with QJ on a Q high board with no redraw.

Villain has ~$450 and I cover.

Hero is dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the CO

Folded to Hero, <font color="red"> </font> Hero raises to $12, <font color="red"> </font> <font color="black"> </font> Button folds, SB folds, Villain calls $8.

FLOP ($26): J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero...??

Based on your read I reraise pot now to get the money in against AJ-QJ or whatever else he may have. You don't want another diamond or an overcard coming and scaring him.

What kind of strength does the flop min-CR usually signal to everyone?

Very read dependant. I have found can be everything from bottom pair to the nuts. If you watch villian carefully you can usually come up with what types of hands they are doing this with. Regardless you have a monster and should be looking to get the money in.

Re: The Old Min-CheckRaise
 

I think you may very well need another diamond. I just call.

One pair is a monster?

You've gotta be kidding me.

You have an overpair and the nut flush draw.

You have 40% equity against a set, and almost 33% against a flush draw.

All other hands you have crushed, and he's definitely capable of calling with worse.

Re: The Old Min-CheckRaise
 

Did you read player description?

Calling here sucks ass.

Re: The Old Min-CheckRaise
 

Why so small pre-flop raise?

Re: The Old Min-CheckRaise
 

I am not disagreeing with you, Jim. I was simply questioning his description of the strength of my hand.

The reason is that I usually see this min-CR more often on the turn, and usually after a firing a second barrel in position. I've found that it usually means a stronger holding on the flop when the raiser is OOP.

I do agreeing with pushing though, which is what I did. Is there really another play?

Re: The Old Min-CheckRaise
 

Love it, now push.

Re: The Old Min-CheckRaise
 

I'm the first one in the pot. 3x has been my standard raise in this situation and will continue to be.

Re: The Old Min-CheckRaise
 

If youre convinced theres no other play, I dont see the need to post the hand. I have no problem with pushing though. Ive done it in that exact spot lots of times.

So what happened?

Re: The Old Min-CheckRaise
 

villain probably flopped a flush and hero didn't improve.

Re: The Old Min-CheckRaise
 

I moved in, he called instantly, the turn and river blanked and he showed the K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Nice call bustr.

Re: The Old Min-CheckRaise
 

Don't be too results-oriented. He happened to have the flush AND you happened to not suck out. That's the worst-case scenario.
