NL50 - Strange spot with TP
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (2 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Final Pot: $52 Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> No showdown. BB wins $52. </font> This was a 6-max game that dwindled down to heads-up play. I don't have much cash HU experience. I was operating under the following line of thought: 1) Good stack sizes justify calling with this hand in position. 2) The range of hands he could be 3-betting with includes a lot of hands that aren't big pairs that raising here has positive expectation (at least to not give Ax a free card). 3) Size of the raise was such that I could get away from a push, where I'd surely be beaten. How would you play this differently, if you would? |

Re: NL50 - Strange spot with TP
I prefer a passive line here. I would call him two times, and fold to a third barrell probably. You lose the same amount that way as if you raised, you give yourself a chance to suckout, and you also get information against most players. No need to raise for information here. The way you played it, you have to fold.

So if a Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] comes on the turn, you still call?

Re: NL50 - Strange spot with TP
Nothing in particular. He hadn't sat down too long ago.
He did tank for a long time after I raised him on the flop, FWIW. Is the hand up to the flop-raise standard? Do you call his 3-bet pre-flop? |

Re: NL50 - Strange spot with TP
I don't like calling preflop with this hand, but it is nothing wrong if you do so, especially if he's been reraising a lot you have to defend. Without reads, I fold this preflop. I find that when I don't speculate too much with calling 3 bets preflop, I stay out of a lot of trouble. This hand is one of them. Even if you are a great postflop player, it is not worth it (unless you are defending because he is reraising too much).
