5/10 hand from aba\'s latest video.
 

This was a big hand that happened in aba's last video. im going to post this hand from the villains perspective because i think he misplayed this hand, but im not sure what the best approach is on the flop here.

Villain is sbrugby

5/10 6 max

villain raises to 35 from CO, button folds, sb folds, hero reraises to ~135 from the BB with J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. villain calls

flop 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img](285)

hero...

We dont have the J of spades, so our hand is pretty weak. i think betting here is bad because we are either flipping or way behind most of the time. imo, this is just a gross spot and not a great spot to commit alot of chips....So what is the best line for hero to take now?

very dependant on villain; i knwo that isnt helping much, but its the truth

Re: 5/10 hand from aba\'s latest video.
 

i guess im just totally lost on where to even start on this hand. all of our options just suck...

I also would like to support aba's play, i think a lot of people saw the video and know that he had 99, with the 9s.

I ran it through pokerstove and he is in a much better shape than i thought even when called by the top of villain's range.So, basically, aba's only option is to shove there...

Calling a shove with jacks there is awful.I would think long and hard before calling even with the Js.Someone raised and called a big reraise.He has a good hand.So, we are flipping at best against something like AsQ.Villain might already have a set or overpair with a spade and we are drawing to 1 out.

Actually, on this particular flop i might even check-fold.

tough spot, its an easy way to trap yourself into a mistake

best hand you're up agaisnt when he goes over the top with all-in is still 47% vs 52% (AsKx)

For future reference, I'd probably fold.

Re: 5/10 hand from aba\'s latest video.
 

c/c, lead safe turn, c/f unsafe turn is a line I use a lot in similar spots.

Also, if I did bet the flop I'd call a push probably.

Wow if you even consider folding JJ with the Js here to Aba getting 2-1 you might as well quit poker now.
