Hero ?

No real reads...possible blindsteal..

should I raise preflop?

what to do on the flop?

[NevadaKaz]

With no reads it is hard to say blindsteal, so I woul dplay it cautiously, including just the call pre flop.

Not a great flop with the Ace being there and us being readless, I would b/f the flop.

[KitCloudkicker]

3 bets preflop.

as played check the flop.

3bet pf. get it HU and play some poker. against alot of opponents in this situation, check-calling down is perfectly fine.

as played, c/r.

[OziBattler]

3 bet preflop since raise is from CO and you have a pretty good hand unless he's a nit. IMHO even unknowns at 1/2 know how to raise light when its folded to them in Button/CO. ALos dont be giving BB 5:1 to call. Get this HU And see how much CO likes his hand...will he call or cap?

IMHO by just calling preflop, esp if CO is aggressive you basically are only going to win the hand if you make a hand whereas CO wont have to actually make a hand to win.

good point.

alot of players on this(and other) forums misplay their hands when they have the initiative with position. in your case aussie stated good reasons as to why it's so valueable to have the initiative out of position.

Eww...the fact we don't have BDFD makes this SO spewy. I agree w/ everyone else that we need to 3b pre. But, as played, I like c/f or b/f flop.

This overstates a bit, don't you think? Yeah, having a backdoor flush draw is nice, but it can't possibly turn a check-fold or bet-fold into a check-raise in this small pot.

I'm just saying this makes it even MORE spewy, I play the hand c/c flop if I have BDFD. Re-evaluate turn.

[StrictlyStrategy]

c/f flop is TERRIBLE
