difficult TT hand

DaycareInferno · #1 08-19-2007, 07:58 PM

i had a bit of a meltdown during this hand, and pretty much played it with no plan whatsoever. i flopped a big draw, but an easily dominated draw, against a bad player, on an actionriffic board, oop, with the lead. what would your approach be here?

villain is 67/20/0.8

i think i should have just bet my hand out here and pushed over a raise. i think that considering villain's limp pf, about anything he has that makes my draw worthless is behind me, and obviously i have a lot of outs against most hands that are ahead of me. i really didn't think things out too well at the time though.

Villain's betting patterns look exactly like a T that's scared of the flush. You should definitely lead out on the flop with $2.50 or so - you'll take it down right there quite often.

i can understand your PF play if your a loose raiser thats fine but...on the flop you c/c which i do not understand, there is a clear flush on the board which cancels your straight draw, that or he has Q paired with AQ which beats you now, or your drawing to a T high flush...whats up man ??? you either raise on the flop massively to eliminate the draws outhere and fold to a RR, or fold on the flop

Reverse Implied Odds...win a little, lose alot. Fold.

i'm not sure what you mean about my pf play. the only thing odd about it is that i didn't raise more. TT is good.

villain probably isn't limp/calling an AQ, and even if he did, he's got a humongous range with his stats here. most of the time my draw isn't good, my hand is, and visa versa.

i agree that this hand is a trainwreck, but now way am i c/fing to a 1/5 pot bet.

Actually, from the SB behind two callers, I tend to call preflop with TT from time to time.

raising and calling pf both seem reasonable to me. that's a topic that's already been beaten to death though.
