check-raise on flop

[Todd]

I think the 'unpaired' overs type hands are the toughest type of hand to play for me. Balancing the value of drawing to hit overcards, and having the pot odds to do so, with the question of what is villain check raising or donk betting with. All the more difficult when you are the PFR, and the pot is a bit big.

If you are the villain in this hand with A7o do you go for a check raise of the PFR here? Do you then fold if PFR reraises you? Or play for meta-game hoping that PFR has AK?

How good a hand, as villain, would YOU need to ck/raise the PFR on a dry flop?

Thanks,

T

After being check-raised, I thought UTG+1 made a set on flop.

Seriously?

I think my range was too narrow. He could have A7, 33-JJ, AX[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], and 45s perhaps.

If I were the villain on the flop, I would bet out immediately to see how the PFR responds.

To be honest, I do not check-raise that often and if I flopped a set in that situation, I would bet out.

But if there were 1-2 player(s) between UTG+1 and the PFR(MP1), I might have check/raised on that flop.

This flop is anything but dry. I would c/r with 89 of spades among a few other things. With a set I would lead cause seeing this flop checked through would make me sad. But I don't give a .10/.20 unknown villain credit for thinking about hands as we do. A set or straight is deffinately possible, so is top pair, 88-TT (depending on if he'd raise these preflop), a flush or straight draw or some combination of such.
