NL25 Hand Reading
For the sake of argument, let's say I don't have any cards.
The opponent is completely unknown, but this is FTP NL25. Full Tilt Poker No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $0.10/$0.25 6 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: $26.80 UTG+1: $15.20 CO: $6.45 Button: $14.80 SB: $36.05 Grunch: $25 Pre-flop: (6 players) Grunch is BB with Two Cards (maybe) UTG calls, 2 folds, Button calls, SB folds, Grunch checks. Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($0.85, 3 players) <font color="#cc0000">Grunch bets $0.85</font>, UTG calls, Button folds. Turn: 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($2.55, 2 players) Grunch checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG bets $2</font>, Grunch ... ? What's your read on this betting pattern? Can we make a read? |

Re: NL25 Hand Reading
I'd say the most likely hand is a pair of queens with a weak kicker.

Re: NL25 Hand Reading
You're gonna blow a guy off what looks like a pair or better? Does not sound +ev.

Re: NL25 Hand Reading
Looks like Q9...no flop raise - maybe worried about kicker. Oh, howdy, paired my kicker on the turn. Or he had two pair all along and was being tricky and slowplaying...But some type of pair/two pair hand I would imagine.

Re: NL25 Hand Reading
Here's another pattern.
Full Tilt Poker No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $0.10/$0.25 5 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: $62.05 Grunch: $24.65 Button: $33.45 SB: $5.20 BB: $39.65 Pre-flop: (5 players) Grunch is CO with X X UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">Grunch raises to $1</font>, 2 folds, BB calls. Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($2.1, 2 players) BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Grunch bets $2</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $4</font>, Grunch ... ? What do you think the opponent's plan for the hand is? Here's what I think in white below <font color="white">Opponent likes his hand. I have zero FE, even if I push.</font> |

Re: NL25 Hand Reading
Opponent either has a weak Ace or a pair of Kings (QK, etc) and wants to "see where he is at"/see a cheap showdwon. He is unsure of his hand strength relative to yours.

Re: NL25 Hand Reading
min-raise usually indicates monster or huge draw. since there's no real draw there, he probably has a monster.
