25NL QQ -- Quick flop question

Nick C · #1 10-02-2007, 10:00 AM

Possibly preflop is worth discussing too.

I'm new to the table, but Button is looking like a preflop LAG already after one orbit plus the hands I spent waiting for my big blind. He's raised preflop frequently, and he knows how to bump up KTs and then flop the nut flush and slowplay to the river when donked into. (That hand accounts for a good chunk of his stack.) He also knows how to raise KTs and float MP's 5/7 pot donkbet on A54 with only undercards and backdoor flush/straight draws and then check it down upon spiking a T on the turn.

I don't know anything about MP except that he made that QJo HU semi-cold-call (from the SB) followed by an air donkbet on A54 that I just talked about. Maybe there's some history between him and Button.

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP raises to $1.25, 1 fold, Button calls $1.25, 1 fold, Hero raises to $5, MP calls $3.75, Button calls $3.75.

Flop: ($15.10) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)

All right, my action. Now what? This wasn't the flop I was hoping for, obviously, but the most frequent thing that's going to happen is that I'm going to flop an overpair, and also I didn't think that Button and MP were necessarily both going to come along. Nevertheless, I have to say that my stack size seems pretty goddamn awkward now.
