50NL 6m: I reraise AQ from the SB, and miss.

Jigsaws · #1 10-29-2006, 07:06 AM

Button is a good TAG - 20/13/2.4 over 110 hands. Attempt to steal of 50%, so I reraise him pretty liberally from the SB. This is probably the fourth time I've reraised him, and it's the first time he didn't fold.

CO is unknown, but he limp-called this reraise, so he probably sucks very hard.

Hero check-folds, right?

I'd fire 2/3 most of the time here.

i'd c/f, theres a FD and a KJ, if it was rainbow with Kxx then id fire a c-bet. but i think its too likely it hit 1 of them in some way to cbet.

Definitely check-fold. I might fire a c-bet if I was second or last to act, but oop against 2 villains no thank-you.

Against an unknown I would cbet 100% of the time and fold to pressure or shut down if called. But in this case, I think your read is very important. Given that this pot is looking humungous right now I'd probably punk out and c/f.

Jamougha · #6 10-29-2006, 08:35 AM

Check-fold is good here.

SABR42 · #7 10-29-2006, 08:36 AM

Pre-flop raise needs to be bigger. $7 is less than 3x his original raise. Too small.

Okay. Now what?

Did you think about leading the turn after it checked through on the flop? The turn is a spot where I often end up calling but I really think it's a mistake. Next to no chance CO has AK/KJ here, leaving what? AJ seems very possible, KQ is possible too if he is kind of weak and scared, which it appears from this stupid bet he is. He could have medium PP too, 88-TT, I see this kind of bet out of those sometimes. Best case scenario he has 88 and you have 10 outs, however, those times you hit, you make nothing more off of him. If he has KQ you probably make nothing on an A river and furthermore can you even lead one here OOP? Also, he can have a flush draw giving you big reverse implied odds on the Th/Ts. I think it's clear you don't have big implied odds in your favor if you hit even the best of your cards; therefore, unless you have some kind of metagame consideration for making this call I would fold here.

Raising does NOT seem like an option here to me even though CO is telegraphing huge weakness; A.) shorties don't fold, B.) you've obviously not represented jack [censored] with your checking through two flush draws.

c/f is good against a TAG and a sucker who will call you with just about anything.

I don't think the implied odds are there, I say fold.
