Fold, until you get a read that villain does this with one pair, assume he doesnt.

set or 2pr, fold. Baluga here imo, he takes a strong line c/c, c/mr.

Classic Baluga, methinks. I don't call without at least A2, and maybe not even that.

well hopefully he had me beat, cause i once read that baluga thing and folded this. i almost checked the turn since he called oop twice with NO draws on that board.

would checking the turn have been smarter? i had a feeling he wasn't calling with air, but at this level who knows.

Without reads I like to valuetown weaker aces. Checking's a good play against tight/passive villains, but since villain's a basic unknown I just try to get 3 streets of value.

uh what? y'all are saying fold? im sorry, but you have to re-raise here and put the donk in. if hes got 2pr so be it, but im not folding a-q in this spot ever, especially not to a turn min-raise. if he check called flop with a set then he's horrible and you'll get it back if youre wrong here , but imo you have to push.

Shattered · #8 10-30-2007, 09:49 PM

Oh geeze, I didn't realize that villain was short, which makes it a lot harder. In that case I probably get it all in, but I'm not completely sure.

Pushing here is spew, short or not. You want to pay off 60 bb's because your justification is he bought in short?
