Only 20 hands at table so no reads

Hero ($8.90)
BB ($5.55)
UTG ($6.40)
MP ($20.55)
Button ($5.40)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP raises to $0.4, 1 fold, Hero raises to $1.2, BB calls $1.10, MP folds.

Flop: ($2.80) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $0.5, Hero??

As played do you have to fold to this weak bet?

Ender Wiggin · #3 10-13-2007, 02:23 PM

to be honest I think bet/fold, c/c and c/f are all viable options here. it's a spot that makes me want to kill teh pokers though.

that is the value line .. you check call a lot, since a bet folds out everything but aces.

some like it and some don't ... ip i like and oop i dont

Fine. Somewhat standard to me. Call his bet. See what happens on the turn.

Is it just me or does villains fire again like 100% of the time when we take this line?

[/ QUOTE ]I am expecting him to bet close to that. It's more about the size of his bet. The smaller he goes the more sure we can be sure Queens are good. But, don't raise. Just keep c/c'ing.

I prefer b/f here. I hate c/c here. A lot of morons will minbet the turn and shove either the turn or the river in which case it tends to get quite expensive to find out whether they are bluffing.

Most of the time, this is an easy bet/fold or even a check/fold (depending on the bet size). Considering this guy is betting $0.50 in a pot of $2.80, I call and check the turn.. and evaluate.
