[richjoyce]

This is villains first hand at the table, so no reads whatsoever. Not so sure about my raise on the flop - should it be bigger/smaller, should i just call?


Bodog 6max NLHE, $.25BB
Seat 1: Hero ($52.00)
Seat 2: SB ($65.92)
Seat 3: BB ($25.00)
Seat 4: UTG ($13.65)
Seat 5: MP ($69.50)
Seat 6: CO ($14.50)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.25, 2 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $1.00</font>, SB calls $1.00, BB calls $1.00, UTG calls $1.00.

Flop: ($4.00) K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue"> (4 players) </font>
SB checks, <font color="red">BB bets $1.10</font>, 1 fold, <font color="red"> Hero raises to $3.00</font>, 1 fold, <font color="red"> BB raises to $4.90</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: ($13.80) 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue"> (2 players) </font>
<font color="red"> BB bets $8.30</font>, Hero ???

Ugly. As played, I fold. He probably has a set and is trying to trap you. I've seen this flop action many times. But then again, it's BODOG (you know what I mean)!

If I am in this situation, I reraise him big at the flop, maybe to ~$5. If villain 3bets, I fold, even if it is a minbet. Basically, I am asking him "DO YOU WANT TO PLAY FOR STACKS, YOU [censored]?"

If he says yes, I'm out.

def raise more on the flop, making a small raise doesnt really accomplish anything, it just bloats the pot while stll giving draws odds to call. i'd make it ~$6 on the flop.

i swear minraising is getting smaller and smaller...raises a $3 bet to $4.9? lol. i'd fold to the turn bet, his line looks v.strong and ak usually isnt good here.

I think is too much the raise to 6$ on the flop, 4-5 will do the job. As maunzekater said, if he 3bets you, you are out.
And preflop raise to at least 1.2$.
