Is there a bird in here? CAAAAW CAAAAAW!
Hello all, I have been lurking around here for a while now...decided I should probably start posting more. Here is the first hand I'd like some feedback on.
Cryptologic 0.15/0.25 Hold'em <font color="#0000FF">(10 handed)</font> link BB ($23.10) UTG ($16.50) UTG+1 ($35.25) UTG+2 ($26.55) MP1 ($36.77) Hero ($63.75) MP3 ($24.60) CO ($16.45) Button ($17.00) SB ($55.80) Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to $0.50</font>, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $1.50</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, Hero calls, MP3 calls, CO calls. Flop: (57.67 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font> UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 checks, Hero ? Had I been CO or button, I probably would have raised this pot pf. I am looking for discussion on preflop & flop. I can't see calling the 0.50 and folding for the 1$? Nor folding to the 0.50$. So maybe preflop is ok? Perhaps raising the 0.50? But with 5 behind me? On the flop....this is my real question. Interested to hear opinions on lines here, and the positives/negatives of them. thanks! -pj |

Re: Is there a bird in here? CAAAAW CAAAAAW!
I think hero makes a standard (for him) flop bet at pot sized or 2/3's or whatever. The calls pre-flop are consistent with a small pp and leading into the flop is consistent with trips played properly.
I can think of a number of exceptions to the above but they're all opponent tendency based and I don't have that info. The obvious one is the pre-flop re-raiser is yet to act and if he does have the big pair advertised (could be AK of course) then he may be resigned to losing to trips and push. |

preflop is fine
now check the flop, you have bottom pair dude! |

Re: Is there a bird in here? CAAAAW CAAAAAW!
Preflop is ok, I probably call the $1 also.
Easy check on flop - bottom pair, weak kicker, plus there's a flush draw on the board so you might get some chasers. Often, if i'm UTG+2 on these raggy boards and see someone likely positiong betting to take down the pot I'll float when UTG folds. This seems to work a large percentage of the time, but I can't back it up with numbers. Just check the flop and hope to hit 2-pair/trips and be sneaky-sneaky. |

PF is fine. Check/fold the flop.

So what is your plan in the event of a poooosh (or even large raise) behind hero's flop bet? (Barring knowledge of villians)

Umm. I made sure I was reading the suits right, and it appears you have bottom pair, no draw, and a ton of players left to act. Check-fold the flop or am I missing something?

Again, you have bottom pair and no draw. If you can see a free card, do it.
If you're really feeling liking trying to make your move here, bet pot or over bet pot. Pot must be about $5, so go $7.50, but it seems like spew to me. |

Without much of a read I would C/F to a reasonable sized bet. You just don't have enough to work with.
It's 25NL, most opponents aren't folding J,J - A,A even if they genuinely think you have a set. |

[/ QUOTE ] yeah, thats the line I took, with the same reasoning. But that pot size is sooooooooooo seductive! -pj |
