Default Re: 25NL - JJ I want to put him on a flushdraw

[ QUOTE ]


Whenever i call in these spots either:

a, the monkey coldcalled with KK+
b, he hits his flush [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

mostly A though. This is never a set.

a. the monkey coldcalled with 99+

Any overpair to this board is possible here, and so is the flush draw. I played a hand somewhat similar to this in which I called a preflop raise from an EP raiser on the button with J-J and three blanks with two to a suit came out and the raiser instapushed with Q-Q and I made the stupid call. The lession I learned was that if the villain is going to make stupid plays like this it is best to wait for when you know you have him. I understand why people advocate a call here, as you certainly do have some of his range beat here, but again you're going to be taking all of his chips anyways when he pulls this crap again and you flopped the set this time.

In addition, when you have him beat you probably will not be a huge favorite unless he has 9-9 or 10-10 (say he has one over to your jack with the flush draw), whereas when he has you beat you're crushed against a higher overpair most likely.
