My opponent here has been very annoying to play against. He open-limps a lot, and he often flat-calls with both air and decent hands (in the hand for example, he would definitely call with a jack). Also in past situations where I've bet the flop and he's called, I've checked the turn and he's bet, so I don't think I'm going to get to see a showdown by just betting the flop. This made it extremely difficult to play decent hands OOP position when my stack was small:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (2 handed) Hero (t930) Button (t2070) Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Button calls t25, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t200</font>, Button calls t150. Flop: (t400) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t730 (All-In)</font> I really have no idea what to do with this flop, if I bet, he's probably going to call and I have no idea where I stand. Also, if i bet the flop and he calls, he's probably not going to give me a cheap showdown. He'll throw in a decent sized bet on the turn or river. I wasn't sure about my checking options since he could very well check behind and get a free card, which probably hurts me. So I decided to push, hoping that I could get him to fold some sort of Jx hand if he has it, and also to win the hand right away. I doubted he had anything great, but based on previous play I was pretty sure there's no way he's folding a queen here. |
