Trying Out Full Tilt, Common Situation

Moozh · #1 10-13-2006, 10:55 PM

Ok, I'm checking out Full Tilt tonight. First time playing there and this hand comes up very early. Needless, I have no real history with anyone.

200nl, we're both slightly over 200.

I get ACES!!!!! I raise to 7, the BB calls.

Flop is J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I don't have a spade. I bet 11 into 14. He min-check/raises.

What's my plan?

As long as you don't fold it doesn't matter that much. My default in this spot is to just call and reevaluate on the turn. 3 betting the flop is fine too, although if he pushes you're often in trouble.

I think shoving works.

Ok, let's move forward one step. I raise to 75 (too little)? He thinks for a few seconds and pushes.

That's a more than 2X pot raise. Seems a little extreme no?

Eww, I probably puke and call, but I'm not happy about it.
