Default Modeling my skirt for Fianchetto

100-200 live game. Not a great lineup, save for one superLAG who's been playing tight preflop. He has a short stack and is across the table from me. One other guy is mediocre and 2 seats to my left so I'm thinking about picking up soon. 10-handed. Tough player limps UTG+1. Tight, readable player limps UTG+2. I limp in EMP with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], and everybody but one of the LP players comes along. Fianchetto is in the BB and checks.

8 to the flop of A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Checked to me and I bet. Mediocre guy and superLAG behind me call and Fianchetto calls.

Turn: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Fianchetto bets out and I fold. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I would probably pop it up preflop here. How many folded to his bet? If everybody folded up to you I like a raise/fold line and a check behind on the river.

Both of the other players were still yet to act behind me on the turn.

I would have raised preflop, this makes a fold on the turn even more correct because the better is betting into a preflop raiser also 2 opponents are yet to act, of course if you had raised there may be only one person behind you or you might have even bought the button, if you did get the button a call would be in order if no one raises in front of you, w/ only one person yet to act a fold still seens OK to me.

as long as your preflop raise didnt make the pot alot bigger by getting a few out. otherwise it doesnt make him less likely to have you beat he figures to be betting a weaker hand as the pot is bigger. overall i guess you need to decide if he would be leading out here and can have say a hand like ace with a club. if he could your fold is a disaster.

This was my thinking in my earlier post, and I think that F. is very capable of doing just this.

KIS,

I read it as, fian bets into him, action is to haak w/ two flop callers behind him.

Didn't notice pre-flop. Yeah, I probably would have raised pre-flop too, but don't hate the limp.

I usually raise here, but decided to limp behind since the UTG+1 limper could have a monster and he plays very well postflop.
