calling thin
Live 12-24
UTG+1 is a total lagtard. He's playing nearly 100% of his hands, will cold-call with almost ATC, and raises PF pretty much on a whim (although he will always raise his good hands). Post-flop, he'll call to the river with any piece or any draw and pay off the river with any pair, but not always with A high. He bluffs a lot with air when he's OOP, and he'll overplay one-pair hands (calling the flop and check-raising the turn with TPNK or 2nd pair). SB is a loose-passive fish. Calls and cold-calls way too much, chases a bit light, and doesn't usually give much action without a big hand. He'll raise a decent TP hand, though. He knows just how goofy UTG+1 is. PF: Hero is BB J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG folds, UTG+1 raises, folds to SB, SB calls, Hero calls. Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players, 6 SB) SB checks, hero checks, UTG+1 bets, SB calls, Hero calls. Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players, 4.5 BB) SB checks, hero checks, UTG+1 bets, SB calls, Hero calls. River: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players, 7.5 BB) SB checks, Hero bets... |

Re: calling thin
lol I guess you've got 3 backdoor draws. That's really about as thin a call as it comes, but by the turn the hand plays itself. I fold more often then I call on that flop. I guess it's not even worth posting if that 7 is an 8.

Re: calling thin
I like this call to close the action on the flop. Its easy to get away from this on the turn when you miss.
I would try for a check/raise on the river though. UTG+1 may have QQ or AK or AQ... The benefit of going for two backdoors is that your hand is hidden. You're more likely to get a bet out of SB that way too. |

Re: calling thin
The flop call is too thin for my taste. Especially after SB has called (even if he has called light) on an almost drawless flop.
And when I see other players make these kinds of calls and I'm holding QJ+, I pray they'll stay in my game. For the same reason, I really hope you capitalized on this image throughout the remainder of your session. |
