Help me play opened-ended straight draws in position on the flop!
Villain's stats are 20/11/1.41. We have no history between us.
Full Tilt Poker, $2/$4 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter UTG: $396 Hero (MP): $405.20 CO: $200.66 BTN: $595.50 SB: $390.20 BB: $408.10 CO posts $4 Pre-Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (MP) <font color="red">UTG raises to $16</font>, Hero calls $16, 3 folds, BB calls $12 Flop: ($54) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 Players) BB checks, <font color="red">UTG bets $40</font>, Hero calls or raises? I'm torn between calling and raising. If I call and miss on the turn, he could fire another full barrel and force me to fold. If I raise, he could reraise all in, giving me crappy odds to call. What to do? |

call usually, you are allowed to shove over a turn bet sometimes (though probably not against this guy).

I would either call or raise a committing amount ($160 or so). Against most players I would raise, but against this guy I favour calling since his pfr is relatively low so he's pretty likely to have a real hand raising UTG.

[/ QUOTE ] Actually come to think of it maybe not, since this is a 3 way pot any bet he makes automatically represents a little more strength. I think most of what I said applies to heads up pots or vs. a non UTG raiser. |

This is an interesting spot. Lots of options here. I like a flop call vs more taggish villians. Sometimes jamming a heart turn vs two barrel-happy villians and sometimes calling vs guys who payoff and lay decent odds.
