Neither villain had been at the table long or done anything noteworthy.
The table had been kind of weak-tight and I had been card dead so I guess I thought I might take this down with a c-bet. Don't really remember what I was thinking at the time. Poker Stars No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 8 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: $2.35 UTG+1: $7.05 MP1: $12.50 Esmerelda: $10 CO: $10.90 Button: $8.50 SB: $3.70 BB: $9.90 Pre-flop: (8 players) Esmerelda is MP2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] UTG calls, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Esmerelda raises to $0.5</font>, CO folds, Button calls, 2 folds, UTG calls. Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($1.65, 3 players) UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">Esmerelda bets $1.1</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises all-in $8</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG calls all-in $1.85</font>, Esmerelda ??? No brainer?? I am not in love with this draw because it doesn't contain any nuts but I figure I have odds because people push overpairs so often? |

I would be highly concerned that the original raiser has the nut flush draw, as these type of AI overbets are frequently FDs at this level (and others)
Pretty sure our 9 alone isn't good against both and it is still possible that if we hit two pair or open trips, we're still behind. I don't think you are priced in at all and a fold seems in order to me. |

I'd generally much rather push with big draws than call a push. Fold equity is your friend.
I think you have to consider button's range here - He didn't reraise preflop so while sometimes they'll play a big pair like this, usually the best overpair you're going to see here is TT, maybe JJ. I think you're seeing another FD here a lot or a set. You're basically coin flipping against a NFD, you're ahead of 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] but getting smoked by any set. I'd need a pretty good idea villain does this with hands other than a set in order to call. |

I don't like pre unless you know co/btn are both pretty tight.
I don't think you can make a huge mistake calling the flop. Your getting vry close to 2-1 against utg shorty who could have a whole bunch of anything and a btn who likely has an overpair or another draw. I think I'm happy getting it in v both their fairly wide ranges w/ 2 to come and that price. Paul |
