KQ TP2K facing minraise in RR pot

Fisherman23 · #1 08-22-2007, 06:52 PM

Villian is virtually unknown. 32/30 over just 50 hands, but seems like he knows what he's doing. My image is good, so I was just looking to resteal his BTN raise. Flop looks good til I face the dreaded minraise.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO ($24.05)
Button ($46.80)
Hero ($47.40)
BB ($10)
UTG ($24.15)
MP ($20.95)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
3 folds, Button raises to $1, Hero raises to $3.35, 1 fold, Button calls $2.25.

Flop: ($6.85) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $5, Button raises to $10, Hero...?

call, try for pot control on the turn. fold if bets v big.

In a re-raised pot villians will rarely do this as a bluff. So you have to figure if he is retarded enough to do this with a lesser Q or hands like AT. A more likely and fitting range is 2pairs, TJ or even KJ against all of which you are running pretty slim.

With AQ or a (backdoor) flush draw I'd go with Montezuma's line. Here I just fold.

(Keep in mind that my advice is based on a pretty nitty play on our part. If we have been very active the likelyhood of villian making a play against us gets higher.)

We're OOP. You're saying we should call the flop, then check the turn, cross our fingers, and hope it gets checked through?

If that's the case, we may be better off folding right now.

I agree with filsteal, oop this gets impossible to play on later street, and I would probably just fold right here
