Live 1/2 NL Hand

[ATrebek]

Playing at the Horsehoe in Council Bluffs, IA.
$1/2 NLHE, $100-$200 Buy-In. Even looser and crazier than a typical 1/2 game. 5 to the flop for $15 is not uncommon.

Relevant Players:
BB - $200 Chips. Just sat down.
UTG - $200. Donktard. Raises preflop and calls preflop raises with garbage. Greatly overvalues hands.
UTG+1 - $500. Better than most at the table. Has a clue what he's doing at least.
UTG+2 - $400. Our Hero.
MP+1 - $100. Very tight, doesn't play many hands at all. Folds to flop bets unless he has a goot hand.
Button - $200. Laggyish Asian guy. Not a bad player, but he's run through a few buyins already.

The Hand:
UTG - Raises to $12.
UTG+1 Calls.
Hero looks down and sees K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero Raises to $45 in an attempt to isolate UTG donktard - Hero should have raised more...
MP+1 calls.
Button calls.
BB calls.
UTG calls.
UTG+1 calls.

Crap. 6 to the flop. Pot is ~$270.

Flop is 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]10[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

BB checks.
UTG bets $100.
UTG+1 calls.
Hero tanks. While hero is tanking, UTG announces all in for his remaining $60 in the dark with 4 players including hero yet to act. Hero tanks some more. Hero eventually...?

raising to $45 is really much ... well [censored] it. The whole [censored] table called and we only have one pair.
This is one of the rare flops where I'd fold a set vs massive action.

I know playing live is boring. If you get AA, KK etc the $ signs pop up in your mind. But well ... it's only one pair.

Stare into the person that went all ins soul. Tell him you have aces and see how he responds. Do anything to elicit a reaction and make your play based on that.

Ok, so it's pretty likely you have the best hand at this point. There are a few problems, however. When you're beat, you are absolutely crushed. When you're ahead, your pot equity is hardly something to be happy about (note: you're never folding everyone out on this board). This is a spot where you need to take a deep breath and fold what is maybe the best hand. Waiting for a better spot is difficult in live games, but I can say with confidence that this hand would definitely qualify. I'd feel good about laying this down, even though you most likely have UTG (KQ) and UTG+1 (AQ) beat. You have no idea of the hand strength of those behind you.

i think this flop is a fold. sounds like a dream game.

[shpanko]

easy fold, people left to act, two people already showing strength. Just dump it. you'll still be leaving that game with 1k+ from the soudns of it

6 ppl on the flop on a QT9 board? foldslol would be more interesting if we had Kc

[Michaelson]

What are the odds of going runner runner to kings full in this spot? That's roughly your pot equity. Insta-fold.

Agree with a fold.

PF RR size is perfect IMO.

Flop was actually *9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]*10[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q:Club: - why can't someone write a live hand converter??

I know this changes the texture of the hand quite a bit but is this still a fold?
