Monotone flop: turn nut straight
This is early in a 27.50 PS tourney. MP2 in this hand is a donkey. Don't remember the specifics of the hand before this...but he doubled up and it was an ugly play.

Re: Monotone flop: turn nut straight
Is he the kind of donkey that would check call top pair to the river then raise? Would he slowplay a flopped flush like this? I can see you beating an A if he is capable of doing this with just A high, but I don't know how often he is going to have it. The most likley hand I see him having is a set. Second most likley is he limped with A rag suited and slowplayed the nut flush, or hit a raggedy two pair by hitting the A on the river. Given your read I think I would close my eyes and call.

Re: Monotone flop: turn nut straight
Call. I probably check here though on the end and let someone bluff or value bet an ace.
I'd also fold pf. |

OH GOD MY EYES
just kidding. If you look up "crying call" in the dictionary, this hand is pictured next to it. I avoid ish spots like this by just folding preflop. |

You can fold preflop, I suppose, but I'm in that camp where calling (as long as you are comfortable playing flops and don't [censored] yourself too hard) is OK at this blind level. As played, I call, and I'm just fine with it. Unless he has the nuts, KcXc and other made flushes would raise the turn (prob. with AcXc a raise too), so you're not worried about a lot of combos. Chances are he made two pair, hit AK/AQ, sucks, lol, I dunno, maybe it's a flush like 50% of the time. Barry |
