Fold PF.

As played, I don't see how he can't have QJ or a set most of the time, but if he's aggro you gotta felt it.

i reload and push unless i know for a fact that villain is pretty tight/passive. if all i know about him is 30/27, i'm just not going to fold top 2 here, utg or not.

You're ahead of a few hands he could've played like this, 9T, AJdd and the like so getting it allin isn't terrible. Def fold pre though

bob_sacamano · #5 08-17-2007, 10:53 AM

as played, i'd have the best read of the villain to play the turn after his raise.

and you should def. flod pf.

Assuming Villain's aggression numbers are high post-flop, I push here all day long. If you're going to bother calling with KTs (marginal at best), then you need to be willing to go to the mat with a very aggro player when you hit a strong hand.

You have relative position on the villain and I believe he would be cbetting. I like c/r more.

As played its a sick spot and there are so many straights - I need a read to continue.

I think this is the best advice. Fold preflop and you wouldn't be faced with this tough decision OOP

I would also rather c/r the flop.

Small blind I'd fold pf, not exactly the best of positions to be in.

It's tough here as you don't want to lay down TPTK, but villian obv likes his hand. He could well have QJ, TT, or 77; 99 is less likely as with only 2 outs he wouldn't (or rather, shouldn't) have called your flop bet with 3rd pair.

I think a fold is probably best, you have a big stack and there's no point risking most of it right now. Wait till you get better reads.
