SB, button minraises and I flop middle pair + flush draw

Peoples Elbow · #1 09-28-2006, 10:10 PM

Villain is button, been at table about 5 orbits - he's raised, sometimes minraised, every single time he's on the button. I've played back at him a few times when he's done this, he's folded twice, and taken 3 flops with me, folding to my continuation bet each time.

I know I'm in crap position, but with the minraise I figured I could get a little tricky with him if I hit something. Thoughts?

call, c/c turn if given right odds, stack, rinse, repeat.

if villain raised to something a little bigger like $12 would shoving be the "correct" play?

just call... I dont think shoving can be good if villain raise more...

check raise on flop could be a good play, especially if he seen you cont-betting a lot.

Microstakes please.

As played call. If villain raises more a shove is best, especially since villain doesnt have a full stack.

Thanks for the advice fellas. I did call his min RR on the flop. Turn was a beautiful 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] - or wait, was that a beautiful card for me [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

The minraise had me a little worried he was on bigger [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]'s, but I hit my draw and wasn't about to get timid. What would you have bet out on the turn now, given there is now $14.50 in the pot??

Ok well I guess this post sucks. For those interested, I bet out $15 on the turn, he almost timed out and shoved, I called, river blank, he shows A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
