Call bluff on the button, 5/5 NL live 200bb stacks.

[Albert Moulton]

8-handed, 5/5 NL live, $1000 max buy-in.

Most players have between $600 and $1200. SB is short stacked with $300.

I have ~$2000.

UTG+1 has $1000. He is fairly tight (by live standards), but also fairly straight forward post flop. I expect his range is any pair 88-AA and any big ace AJs or higher. He will c-b frequently, but rarely second barrel light.

Folded to me on the button with K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

I call looking to either hit the flop hard, or steal on the turn if I get the chance. I'd fold from any other position, but on the button with these deep stacks I like to get a little more creative.

SB and BB fold.

Flop (Pot $75 after the $5 rake).

UTG+1 bets $50. I call.

Turn (Pot = $175).

UTG+1 looks a little uncomfortable. He checks. I bet $80 with my gut shot and one over card.
