1/2 Live - Straddled pot - tough turn and river decisions
This is a 100max game. The straddler in this hand is your typical lag regular - straddles, pushy, but calls too much and has wild swings.
Approx. Stacks SB ($500) BB ($75) UTG ($150) UTG+1 ($75) UTG+2 ($120) MP1 ($40) MP2 ($300) MP3 ($50) Bats ($325) Button ($150) Preflop: Bats is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG straddles $4. UTG+1 calls $4, UTG+2 calls $4, 2 folds, MP3 calls $4, <font color="#CC3333">Bats raises to $25</font>, 1 fold, SB calls $24, 3 folds, UTG+2 calls $21 Villains: SB is somewhat of a mystery to me. I haven't seen him do anything really really out of line except that he has limped QQ two or 3 times. One of those times, he limp/RRd. He has shown down some strange hands, but they are always the winner. I think he is playing his big stack loose in position. Like most live players, he bets way too small in most situations. Summary: I don't think he is a total idiot, but he is too loose passive. NOTE: SB called really quickly. UTG+2 is a regular "tag", meaning he is tighter than most and one of the better players but still not good. He is too passive, especially considering he is wearing Moneymaker glasses. I don't think he's playing his best today. Flop: ($89) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players) SB checks, UTG+2 checks, Bats checks Turn: ($89) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players) <font color="#CC3333">SB bets $25</font>, UTG+2 calls $25, <font color="#CC3333">Bats raises to $75</font>, SB calls, UTG+2 folds I like the turn card, but the pot is too big. I seriously considered flat calling here, but with the guy in the middle, it seemed like a bad idea. I didn't know where I stood, except that I did not put either of these guys on QJ. Again, SB called faster than I would like. River: ($239) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players) <font color="#CC3333">SB bets $100</font>, Bats ? |

Re: 1/2 Live - Straddled pot - tough turn and river decisions
My first thought is that you might be calling for a split pot, but I would be surprised to see AQc, since from your description he doesn't seem like a guy who would lead out from EP with a big draw, and the $25 turn bet and subsequent call fits as well.
I don't envy your river decision. I'd like to think I can fold here. |
