No reads on villain, but he won some pots recently (4 in the last 7 hands).

well seems fine...

Shove or flatcall flop... no reason to leave him with 3.35 in a 10.85 pot. A flop as low as this I shove... If it were something like Q6Q I'd flatcall, because it's a lot more likely we are only called when drawing to 9 outs instead of 15.

Oh well, maybe you suck him with a smaller raise when he's real stupid... I still prefer a shove

Spurious · #5 09-07-2007, 07:07 PM

if BB has a FD i want him to call, i think a shove is an overbet and commits me. If BB was going for a c/r i would unnecessarily put in a lot of money.

mvdgaag · #6 09-07-2007, 07:20 PM

A shove commits you allright [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. Leaves nothing to commit though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] it's a matter of definition i guess.... haha

A raise also commits you and him though. So you both should know you are playing for stacks and for showdown as soon as you make a raise on this flop. Therefore you might as well get it allin IMO. On the other hand, your opponent might be too stupid to realise this and call a smallish raise to find himself committed at the turn. Not likely though, he'd need to be real stupid and you DO give a free card playing like that.

do you realise, that i dont want to play for stacks with BB is still in the hand, therefore i am calling

Keitan · #8 09-07-2007, 07:36 PM

Flop is fine. Depending on villain's range you've got decent odds to call the turn. I think fold or call are both fine here. This is really no big deal imo

Keitan · #9 09-07-2007, 07:39 PM

Though you are getting very good odds to just call the flop to hit your hand, so that also has merit

You are raising when BB is in the hand, not calling... But I see your point, I misread and see he still has too much left for a push.... Your right.

Also you are not losing equity in a multiway pot, since you have the nut FD. You have 35% equity on the FD alone, maybe more with the overs, so if BB calls you actually gain pot equity: 35% equity when you put in 33% of the money.
