Live 1/2 - trips with flush draw and 3-str8 on board
I'm playing 1/2 NL live where most players are average at best but the player on my immediate left is a very tight, smart player that plays big hands well. He is very tight postflop but has also pushed all in on a couple of huge draws where there were multiple players and some money in the pot but he'd be at least 50/50 to win it heads up. When other people asked him about this, he said it was the best way to get paid because people call with worse draws but they won't pay him off if the next scare card comes. I've played with him for a couple hours another time amd about an hour here. He respects my play and knows I don't get too involved with one pair or when I'm possibly drawing dead like a lot of players in this game do.
Max buy-in 200, starting stacks as follows: CO -1: 110 ME: 510 Btn: ~800 10 handed folds to C0 -1 CO -1: raises to 10 ME in CO: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] call 10 Btn: call 10 Both blinds fold Pot $33 I called the OR because from what I can guess he raises this amount in this position with 22-88, A-2-A9 Q9-KJ. This is approximate but I do know he raises more with his better hands. He doesn't bet much after the flop and he's a calling station with middle pair, low PP, or even a weak draw after the flop. Being tight, I don't figure the button to call in this spot with any 2. I have seen him fold even to one limper, but I still obviously give him a wide range of hands here. Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] CO -1: bets 5 ME: call 5 Btn: raises to 15 CO -1: call 10 ME: call 10 Pot $78 I'm going to fold to a lot of cards on the turn but could very well be ahead right now. I figure the button is raising to build a pot. I elect not to raise or reraise because I don't want to build someone else's pot. Turn: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] CO -1: checks ME: check Btn: bets 40 CO -1: calls 40 ME: raise to 150 Btn: All in CO -1: calls 45 all in ME: ??? (335 remaining - Pot is 1130) I reraised thinking I'd probably fold to a shove, but with so much money in the pot I get to thinking... I won't overanalyze for you but at this point I have to wonder if by my sudden interest in the hand on the turn may have labelled me with a 9 and is trying to push me off with all sorts of draws. Thats the big question for me at this point because I've never seen him in a hand this big and wonder if he'd only push with the nuts or whether he tought it out and made a move. So: Play this differently up until this point? Does my check-raise make him think I have trip 9's and make him more likely to be making a move with a hand I'm still ahead of? Call or Fold? Regardless of call or fold decision, what do you think he has? Other comments? |
