NL200 - I really want to fold bottom set

oyvindgee · #1 07-20-2006, 08:31 AM

I feel I could get away if I had a read saying villain was decent, but I know nothing. The drawy board convinced me to call, but I'm not sure it's a draw often enough. And yeah, I know my raise on the flop should be slightly bigger, I messed up with the slider.

If villain were decent I would be even more likely to call. This is like the most draw-heavy board possible, folding would be terrible.

has anyone seen a call-reraise semibluff?

this is always nuts in my experience. if they were gonna raise they would do it first time around.

i probably still call

I'd say there's a 70% chance ur beat...but you can definitely fill up. So I wouldn't fault folding or calling.

The way the action went would make me think about folding....but I still probably call.

this is foldable actually. not because we are almost up against a straight or higher set, but when we arent we arent a very big favourite.

i.e. calling is -EV

FGators · #7 07-20-2006, 09:08 AM

I fold this. this is like 85% of the time a straight and for the other times it isnt we are beat by middle set.

i think you played it well. you probably would have heard from co preflop if he had 99 or 1010 - it looks more like a flush draw. that said, i'd raise utgs preflop open a little more than half the time.

I disagree. A lot of people don't 3bet 99, and some might call UTG raise with TT from a tight player. Secondly, 3betting 77 over two people when you obviously have set value is terrible.
