NL253: TPTK getting raised on the flop
How would you play in this situation? Please comment on preflop & postflop play. Villian was a german player, mini-raising pretty often in previous hands.
After he raises me on the flop I put him on a Q, a flush draw or a set. Overpairs are fairly unlikely since he would have reraised them because of the preflop action so far. He would mini-raise all categories of hands mentioned above. I reraised him planning to fold to a push.

I put him on either a flush draw or a Q. So I put him all-in and he called.

I think he has a set. I don't like the reraise on the flop. Just call and try to get a cheap showdown.

Re: NL253: TPTK getting raised on the flop
If I just call and a heart comes up. He can easily represent a flush and I might fold a better hand to his KQ or KJ or [censored] like that. When I check the turn and he makes a big bet I will find myself in a very tough spot. That is why I reraised him.

Re: NL253: TPTK getting raised on the flop
You would have to raise more on the flop to deny a flush or straight draw proper odds. You bet enough to deny immediate pot odds but he certainly could justify a call based on implied odds.
But I think you shouldn't raise because it bloats the pot too much when you have just an OK hand. As played, on the turn I might bet a little less to entice a flush draw to play. Maybe 15 or so. It's true that you are committed to the pot either way, but this way a flush draw might incorrectly call against you without the proper odds. If the villian is a calling station then maybe all-in is fine because he might call with a flush draw anyway... |

[/ QUOTE ] If a heart comes you will now have a nut flush draw and now you might have a good pushing hand if you think he'd fold some hands you beat. At this level it's hard to give yourself alot of fold equity, but at least you'd have outs against all hands he could have. |

Re: NL253: TPTK getting raised on the flop
You made a read and you went with it. Sounds like you have some history with this guy. I don't understand your minraise on the flop (flush draw will call, set might call and let you hang yourself on the turn).
I normally wouldn't look to get all-in with AQ in this spot, but against certain villains I suppose I would. |
