TPJK v. Fischman - Tilt 32k
 

UTG+1 is Scott Fischman. Is leading or c/ring this flop better than c/cing? As played, how do we handle this turn?

I'm going to have a hard time forgetting that I saw both of the hands you posted.

I like leading the flop, mostly because we have a somewhat marginal hand, we're OOP, and it will make it easier to play. You should be leading you're stronger hands in this spot as well, but meta-game considerations aside, I think leading will help you make fewer mistakes on later streets.

I used to take the line you took more often, but I found myself in many spots like these where's you basically have no idea on how to proceed and I try to avoid that. As played, it looks like SB is on a draw, but I don't enough about Fischmans play to put him a good range here. You know which the standard possible holdings he could have here that will double-barrel this board vs. two opponents, and most of them beat you imo, but then again he could be double-barreling w/ worse hands as well, due to the passive line you took on the flop, so honestly I don't know.

I would def c/r the flop with ur stack. Sb is almost certainly on a flush draw or worse king given his c/c, and fishmans range for betting that flop can be any two he limped with

As soon as i saw this thread i was like "i'm willing to give 100 to 1 this starts with a fischman open limp."

I win.

As for the hand, with your stack and the way Fischman plays, check raise flop to 500 and shove the turn.

LOL I was going write "chronic limper scott fischman" but I thought I'd see if others brought that read on their own.

Oh and nice contribution, thanks for your input. I'll hazard a guess that your other 11 posts were fairly similar to this one.

what do u put villain on? he limped UTG. Would S.F. do that with any king? seems unlikely. He may have a pp but why bet with that dry board and two opponents. Ur turn decision seems like an easy fold to me given all the action.
