TPTK faces check/raise from unknown aggro

*** · #1 10-19-2007, 08:19 PM

Villain is basically unknown, but fairly aggro. I have his stats at 21/8.5/oo over a mere 30 hands. Not much has happened between us, but the last time he check/raised me on an innocuous board I folded my air.

I considered a few plans but I wasn't sure which one was the best one. Note that we are a little bit deep, but after his check/raise he'll have less than a pot sized bet left if I call.

No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $2/$4
4 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: $537.90
Button: $366.70
SB: $524.60
BB: $1.095.80

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero raises to $16, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($48, 3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $40, SB raises to $185, BB folds, Hero?

It doesn't warrant calling to get it in on a safe turn since he'll be committed with strong draws anyway?

i wouldnt fold it. torn between shoving now and calling, but I lean towards shove now when there are so many bad cards to see

sure. That's assuming he's bluffing 0% of the time.

Your hand is basically the nuts here and I'd fold like never. I'm not sure about calling/shoving but I guess I'd shove given DJ's reasoning.
