n00b questoin: poosh or fold situation?
villain (utg) has only been at the table for 1 1/2 orbits, but has been somewhat aggro, and has shown down crap once or twice. his PFR range so far has been an Ax off, a single paint soooted, and an offsuit one-gap. really weird. he's also aggro post-flop, c-betting every time he has raised PF...I think my AJ in the SB is enough hand to see a flop with...I think.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx UTG+1 ($13.70) UTG+2 ($13.76) MP1 ($11.55) MP2 ($11.90) MP3 ($5.35) CO ($10) Button ($71.18) Hero ($8.05) BB ($9.60) UTG ($10.65) Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.10. Hero posts a blind of $0.05. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $0.2</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, CO (poster) calls $0.10, Button calls $0.20, Hero (poster) calls $0.15, BB calls $0.10. Flop: ($1) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font> Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $0.95</font>, CO folds, Button folds, Hero ??? I feel that my pot equity here is probably pretty high, with 9 hearts, and 3 non-heart T's left. I dont know what to make of my remaining A outs, although they very well might be dirrrty. this seems like a poosh or fold type situation to me. am I wrong and dumb? |

Well, it's certainly not a fold. As played, call. Consider bet/3-bet in the future.

[/ QUOTE ] Hey, I think you need to change the way you think about this a little bit, because you have hit this flop in a major way, and if he always c-bets you may actually have the best hand with no improvement. If your ace outs are good you are about a 55-45 to win this against KK (no hearts). I definately like a bet-three bet line, except for one thing, at this low a level people are so bad that you are probably better to just check call until you make your hand and then try to stack him, because if he actually has a hand you probably take his stack, and if not, its cheaper, and if he keeps bluffing you win more than if you had raised him. |

Don't fold ever. Raise is also possible. I don't mind racing here.
