Deep against iCHECKDARK, turn 2 concealed pair.

DJ Sensei · #1 08-13-2006, 04:14 AM

He's a very good and aggressive 2p2 TAG, running 25/19 in this session. We've been tangling a lot on 2 different tables, both fairly deepstacked, and he recently stacked me for 2 buyins with a set over set. But, I haven't been tilting, and I assume he realizes as much.

So on the turn I hit one of my outs, but I'm obviously concerned about the possibility of a higher set/2pr for him. Whats the best line out of this situation?

You probably have the best hand at the moment so I think I'd continue betting here. Since you guys are pretty deepstack and he didnt reraise you back preflop, I'm guessing he was calling with a drawy type of hand. The board looks pretty drawy too so you can't afford giving a free card.

I woudl be way more concerned about JT then I would a set against iCD here. People must try to trap him all the time with a CR here, so I like to just bet. River could easily counterfeit you and there's a lot of cards you hate, and you can't be happy with a river raise from iCD either even if river is a total blank.

I like a full pot bet, and flip a coin to see whether or not you call a push.

Here's a question. How likely is he willing to cold call with JJ, JT, TT or 55 in his position, given the stack sizes?

All of those are very likely hands for iCD to call with, especially if DJ has been 3betting light at all.

If stacks were only 1 buyin I would usually check the turn, but being so deep I would probably bet about 400 planning to fold to a raise and reevaluate on the river if called.

will -
you don't think he pushes AA to a cr?

basically you have to decide if you're felting against this player (and I don't know him). if you are you have to lead turn to try to get it in (unless he folds all but jt/set to turn lead). if not, cr fold to 3 bet or lead fold to raise are correct, depending on if he bets and folds qq-aa to a cr.

Since iCD is a very aggressive player, I doubt that he would try to trap and call with AA or KK preflop when both players' stacks are so big, especially when he only cold calls the flop.
