NL50 6m 99 overpair hand

[gdsdiscgolfer]

I had been playing about 27/21/14 (no joke on the AF) for ~100 hands. Villain was 25/16/5 and had played back at me more than once. Usually, I folded to major resistance.

Hero folds, because raising here would commit him to the pot. On the other hand, if hero made it a habit to rebuy to full buyin whenever his stack dropped below it, he would have enough chips to raise to about $32, thereby convincing SB, who is most likely c-betting with whiffed overs, to shove his overcards somewhere unsanitary.

[Sean Fraley]

Sorry, I misread the preflop section, and thought villain was making the first raise, not reraising. In this case, he might have a higher pair, which is a good reason to raise here and tell AK or anyone 3-betting light to shove off. If you encounter resistance, shut down. As mentioned before, to do this you need chips.

[gdsdiscgolfer]

FWIW, Hero has 51.45 which is greater than max buyin.

Sorry, you have my full permission to shave my housepets, along with a sincere apology. It's been a problematic christmas. What is full buy-in for that blind level?

Raising to $32 leaves us $13 behind, so a raise here is a shove, which is bad.

How about this? Call flop, fold to a real turn bet, or check behind and call the river if no A or K flops. What do others think of that line?

How had you reacted when villain played back at you? Had you been stealing a lot of blinds, and folding when re-raised pre? If you have some gamble in you, I like a shove. Put yourself in their shoes, and think about how you would play 77, 88, AKs, etc. in their situation. This seems like a continuation bet more than anything, I think high pairs, trips, or a boat will all check to you here. A hand that is of marginal strength there will put out a 2/3 pot continuation bet to take it down there, and fold to a reraise?

You can call here, but this villan is probably not re raising oop pre flop with too many hands besides AK that you currently beat. I might be giving villan too much credit, but it looks like he is trying to get some value from a better overpair, either that or trying to make that sissy continuation bet with AK or mayyyyyyyybe AQ. So i guess I like call, fold turn unimproved. Villans being oop will reveal a lot about his holding on the turn.
