Couple of quick questions
Both hands are in a good live mid-stakes game in CA. Unless otherwise noted, let's assume that our average opponent is overly loose-passive.
Hand #1: A tight, poor post-flop playing regular raises UTG and is 3-bet right behind him by a way overly aggressive player. A bad player calls 3 in the SB. You have JTs in the BB and...? Hand #2: One or two limpers, a raise from an aggressive bad player in MP, one cold-caller, and then the Button (passive preflop, bad post) 3-bets. You have 9h9s in the SB and...? Let's say you call and everyone else calls, too. Flop is 7d6d2h. You are first to act and...? |

Re: Couple of quick questions
#1...I would fold if I was running bad, and call if I was running good. Add another player/cold caller and I think it's easy call.
#2...I'd probably fold, maybe call in 2/3 structure. IF call, check raise, and then see how many callers and if button 3 bets. IF button 3 bets and 2 people call our c/r I think we're done cuz we dont have the 9d |

Re: Couple of quick questions
#1 I would fold and not really think that much about it.
#2 I'd call if it was 2 limpers but I think it's definitely close. I'd check and see on the flop, but I think it's pretty close to a check-fold if Button is really passive preflop. Rob |

Re: Couple of quick questions
Fold 1, call 2 and not really like it. I wish you could fold but the pot is going to be a minimum of 5 ways so get in there and hope for the magic to happen. c/r flop seems like the best option at first but if the described button bets the flop our hand probably isn't even good so I have no idea. Betting into the field seems even worse than checking here. Check/calling seems really bad. Maybe the reason all the options seems so bad is that getting involved in this hand was a mistake in the first place but it seems bad to fold when the pot is going to be so big and multiway.
I'd call in hand 1 if there was one more player but as is I feel like we are obliterated by the range of the other three players and will pay too much when we spike a losing pair/miss completely to make up for when we make winning pairs, straights or flushes. |

Re: Couple of quick questions
First hand I fold. Mr. Aggressive is going to make it too expensive to draw to my draws.
Second hand I call preflop knowing passive button must have a bigger pocket pair. If I flop a set I could win a ton of chips. Tough spot on the flop. All three options have drawbacks. With a less preflop/passive button, I'd check-raise because he could have unimproved high cards; here it's more likely I'm going to get 3-bet. So I think I'd opt for check-calling and hoping, since I have a backdoor straight draw. Yes, the 9s are vulnerable to a turn overcard, but we're likely beat by a bigger pocket pair already. |

Re: Couple of quick questions
No questions at all: for hand#1, fold'em and hand#2 is calls-it, flop a set or check-raise protect and over pair.

Re: Couple of quick questions
Maybe get a napkin for the vomit but checkfolding the flop is almost always going to be wrong and checkcalling is going to be right even with an overpair.

Re: Couple of quick questions
Hand #1: If UTG wasn't tight I'd play, but as is I fold.
Hand #2: I fold this as well. You are basically just playing for set value if you do. |
