25/50 I have three pair

[edge]

Still struggling a little bit with early position play in full ring. 8-handed, effective stacks 6500.

UTG limps. I don't know too much about this guy, but I think he's fairly solid. Folded around to me in SB with TT and I complete, BB checks.

Flop KK7r, 150 in the pot.

Checked to UTG who bets 50, I call, BB folds.

Turn Q puts two hearts up, 250 in the pot.

Checked through.

River Q, 250 in the pot.

I check, he bets 175. I'm tempted to call with my T-high.

um.... .why?

[Kirkrrr]

LOL FOLD!!!!!! He probably has TJs.. but wait, that's still the best hand.

What kinds of hands do people limp UTG full ring? That's kind of what I'm getting at. My best guess from what I've gathered so far is something like small pairs and AA/KK.

This doesn't seem like a K at all, and I'm not sure what kind of K limps UTG anyway. Betting a J on the end seems like a very strange move, as he can't expect it to be for value and the way it's played I wouldn't have any reason to fold an A. Similarly with betting an A on the end; the best he can really hope for would be a split.

The river bet looks like a big hand or a bluff, and I don't think a big hand is very likely given how he played it. Even JJ got counterfeited. AA is possible given the flop/turn play, but I'm not sure what he's putting me on by the river.

It was kind of a weird hand. For some reason, I'm putting him on a smaller pair than my TT, making T-high good. Maybe I just haven't gotten a feel for early position play yet.

yea i can see a call with the reasons you gave. what was your plan is he bet the turn though?

[donkey]

check min-raise the river. you might even get Qx or AA to lay it down

[TStoneMBD]

i def agree with the river call

[ahnuld]

he really played it like a small pair that now has zero showdown value and needs to bluff. Or an A. but I think small pp is more likly, so a call is fine.
