A6s

Riku · #1 11-07-2007, 08:25 AM

Ok, i feel somewhat lost with these kind of situations for some reason. I guess the biggest issue is that while im getting 5:1 pf, the fact that it's raised, makes it difficult to play if i hit an A, since people love raising with Ax hands and im often dominated. On the to other hand, if i had like K9s, i'd have more "clean" cards.

CO is about 20/10/2.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
2 folds, MP1 calls, 1 fold, CO raises, 2 folds, Hero calls, MP1 calls.

Hero checks, MP1 checks, CO bets, Hero raises ?!, MP1 calls, CO calls.

Since he's last to act, he could be putting in just a standard cbet. All i know, he could have pocket 8s. I start looking for a bag to puke into when they both call.

I'd probably have played it the exact same way.

That turn card is godawful, making the flush AND straight draw far too likely...

I'd play every street the same.

Even though I'm tempted to just check/fold the turn but maybe I'm being results biased here. Such a horrible card...

Nice hand.

I'd play it the same. I would also think about check/folding the turn but that's too weak so I bet/fold too.

Do not fire this turn. Your flop play was good, and if your opponents are thinking they will put on ace you want to protect. I can't think of a hand that called the flop that didn't just hit 2pair/flush/straight/pair+draw. This is not results oriented, you are almost never good here.

nice hand, and of course bet the turn. checking through such a drawheavy card would be awful.

Preflop: With that tight a range for CO you are often dominated. Limper is going to give some overlay but I'd still probably muck this.

Flop: This is a very difficult flop for your hand. If we are ahead we might not be after the turn. I'd be more inclined to see if the turn is a safe card. So, check and call this flop.

You can't lose a single better hand here by raising and many draws will not fold. I really don't like the c/r. It could just isolate you vs a likely better Ace and you are OOP allowing him to play this perfectly from now on.

Turn: as played I guess leading out is ok and the fold the fold is a no-brainer me thinks. Just c/f wouldn't be terrible either IMO.

Pre-flop I'd fold like a shot. He only plays 20% and raises half of those, I'd think I was chasing a better hand with a suited ace-rag.

As played I would wince a little while raising and wince a lot when both call.

to those who fold preflop: cant you guys recognize an iso raise when you see one?

this guy is a 20/10/2 - pretty classic TAG stats. a player who probably sucks has open limped in MP. the TAG is in LP - perfect to try and isolate, especially if he sees the blinds as nitty. he doesnt need a great hand to do this - probably any 2 broadway would suffice. you are getting 5.5:1 on your call. you have more than enough equity in the BB to call this raise pf.
