Cute little situation
Game: 2/5 NL B&M, 8-handed
Setup: It's about DST changeover time, and the red eyes remaining are focused on the Button, a near-maniac with at least $2000 in front of him. I have about $800 and all other involved players have $250-400 and are fairly tight. Image: In the last 20-30 minutes I've opened up my game as we're occasionally 7- or even 6-handed when people take a smoke or bio break. I recently showed down a J8o from the button that caught an open-ender and sucked out with a J on the river. Only 2 hands ago, a TAG-ish regular commented regarding whatever trash I won with: "Geez, what are you on today? You're usually Mr. Tight over there." The hand: UTG straddles for 10, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Button (maniac) calls, BB (me) raises to 50 with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Straddler and all limpers call. Flop ($250): K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I am first to act... |

Re: Cute little situation
IMHO I think you need to raise more PF. KK plays better HU, you know button will call, and you should charge a premium to let people play a hand with you in position.
As played if you are sure someone will bet I would /cr AI. Board is so dry and your hand is so big you can risk giving everyone a free card. |

Re: Cute little situation
Given the pot size ($250) and the short stack sizes of most of the players ($250-$400), it seems like anyone looking to contest the pot is basically committing all their chips anyway, regardless of whether you check or bet.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, that's what I thought, and I feel like it was wrong in hindsight. I bet, one of the MP's goes AI for $275 and the rest fold. The turn was a 5, and the donkey says "Wow, had I gotten a free card on the flop you'd have gotten my chips. J-5 suited." I know... kinda results-oriented thinking. |
