coolmoedee · #1 10-23-2007, 09:50 AM

Cake Poker, $1/$2 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players
First hand at table, no reads on villain

SB: $358.34
Hero (BB): $183.25
UTG: $198.72
UTG + 1: $197
MP : $450
Butt.: $400

Pre-Flop: K A dealt to Hero (BB)
UTG raises tp $4, UTG + 1 folds, MP folds, button calls, sb folds, Hero raises to $14, both UTG an button call $14

Flop: ($43) 8 A T (3 Players)
Hero bets $37, UTG raises to $66, button folds, Hero?

With no reads I couldn't decide if this was a fold or push? What do you guys think?

If this is $1/$2 then UTG min raised pf right? I.e. Im immediately putting him down as a donk.

As such, i think i 3bet this ai. I find it tough laying down TPTK against people who make donk plays like this.

Also, if this is your first hand, buy in for 100bbs!

Hehe that's what I was thinking. People never have reads when they post, it's always the first hand.

I am thinking, maybe nobody ever has reads [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Sorry, i only had $183 because I was playing other tables and that's all i had left in my cake account, I would normally buy in for $200 obviously. It honestly was my first hand but even so. What if it was hand 20 at the table and he's shown nothing to get a read from.....his min raise was strange.....so we all agree that all my chips should go in in this spot?
