25NL Flop top 2 pair
Hi guys. This is my first post here, so go easy on me.
I'd been playing semi-tight and opponent has been very loose and aggressive, raising and betting almost every flop. I have about $16 and opponent has about $22. I'm MP2 and villain is MP3 Preflop: Hero: J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG folds, UTG+1 checks (just joined the table and posted), UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, Hero raises to $0.80, MP3 calls $0.80, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, UTG+1 folds Flop: ($2.20 in pot) J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Hero bets $2.20, MP3 calls $2.20 Turn: ($6.60 in pot) T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Hero bets $3.00, MP3 raises to $10.00, Hero raises all in $12.35, MP3 calls $2.35 River: ($31.30) 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] My read was that the villain either had one pair and straight draw (like AJ or AQ), or a spade draw, or that he may have just been trying to push me out of the pot. Were any of my plays incorrect? |

welcome to the forum. first i'd say if youre gonna raise this preflop you gotta make a bigger raise, at least $1 or $1.25 (4-5BB). with that being said i think this is fine. your read seems to indicate that he would do this with AQ, AJ, maybe KQ. or a flush draw.

Instead of raising, I would throw this hand away preflop.

Re: 25NL Flop top 2 pair
So should I have either raised more or folded? Or should I just lean towards not playing it at all? That seems like it's a little bit too tight to me.
Any other suggestions? |

Re: 25NL Flop top 2 pair
I typically fold this preflop, I just don't want to play that easily dominated hand out of position.
The hand: I think that it is very well possible that villain has KT, AQ, KQ, or (most likely) AT here, too. I find it hard to believe that he'll raise with AJ. Weirdly played AA-JJ (AA, KK being the most likely) are candidates, too. Overall, I think this is a fold, although I hardly ever get myself to lay this down. The only hands you beat are AQ and KQ, though. |
