nl50. A9 short handed
Villain has been running about 20/10 over 45 hands. I wasn't using a HUD at the time so my read estimated him to be a solid player. He had shown down a couple of good hands and seemed to not do anything too stupid.
I'll include what I was thinking please tell me how wrong I am... PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) BB ($74.85) UTG ($48.95) Hero ($70.45) Button ($48.75) SB ($48.20) Preflop: Hero is MP with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $2</font>, Button calls $2, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls $1.50. Flop: ($6.25) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">BB bets $3</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $7</font>, Button folds, BB calls $4. I was thinking that a small raise here may fold out AJ or weaker here and I could fold to a reraise. Turn: ($20.25) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $5</font>, BB calls $5. When he calls the flop raise, I figure he's got something. I contemplated checking behind here, but then decided to poke a small bet in and fold if raised. River: ($30.25) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $10</font>, BB calls $10. Final Pot: $50.25 On the river I'm pretty certain I've got the best hand here, but really didn't feel like I had a good feel for his hand. Should I have bet more? |

Re: nl50. A9 short handed
I'm not a big fan of the bet size on the turn...seems pointless. No hands are gonna fold here, flush draws could call getting proper odds. For me the turn is either a check behind or a bet of 12-14. If he cr'ed on the turn I would fold.
I would probably bet closer to 20 on the river as played. I don't think he's gonna c/c with a better 2 pair or anything...I'm not really scared of anything other than maybe a c/r from a flush that we priced in with that dinky turn bet, but we can fold to that. |

I'm sure somebody will come up with something. It does kinda define your hand against a thinking opponent but not sure that's that big a worry at NL50.

Hopefully he calls with a weaker ace. |

Re: nl50. A9 short handed
Played decently, except for the turn. I would put a 2/3 pot bet against him, since you are short handed there is no real reason to do some pot control and check behind. And on the river I would bet more say $15-$20. With that bet I feel that weaker hands will call and any hand that have you beat will most likly raise... but this is NL50.
