NL 100: A9s raise in MP
At this point I only had about 15 hands on villian, so I think his stats are irrelevant. He didn't seem crazy.

His raise was alarming so I'm thinking he has a set/two pair/AA/KK here most of the time. I pushed to get more money in the pot - my reasoning is that a heart on the river might not get me paid off. Also, by this point my Ace out might only be worth 1 at the most and my 9 is no good. The pot was big enough where I didn't really consider folding with my remaining outs, and I figured the times I hit my flush/gutshot I would make the additional $50ish in my stack that is left whereas I might not if a heart comes. Decent reasoning for a push? Do I have any other options here. I was thinking b/3bet was betting than a c/c or b/f c/f here. Am I way off? </font> |

Stacks arent that large where pushing is doing anything for you. He's not folding and you can save half your stack if you miss.

Re: NL 100: A9s raise in MP
So you are advocating just calling his raise then c/f if I miss and then betting if I hit?

Yes. youll be betting 49 into a good pot. If you put him on a set, your just putting more money in bad.

Re: NL 100: A9s raise in MP
Thanks for the responses - it didn't feel "right" to push there.
Is c/c the turn a better line than b/c? He called my flop c/r so he has something. Checking the turn might get me a free card, or at least not have to face a raise as I did. Is c/c the turn better than betting (hoping he folds/calls) and calling a raise? |

No, I would of bet the turn...maybe just a little more than half. IMO, all the rest of the hand was okay except the turn push.

What you did wasn't too bad you were commited after the turn bet. A check raise on the turn wouldn't be bad either. I like putting him to the decision for his chips personally.

I think you have to check/call the turn. You have a lot of outs but only 1 card to come you don't want the button to push on the turn.

Re: NL 100: A9s raise in MP
I would also check/call the turn. As played I would just call the turn though. Your push won't really force him into a decision, he's chipped in here. If a heart comes up you can push and he'll probably think that the probability that you are bluffing gives him the correct pot odds to come. If the gutshot comes, the same thing applies most likely.
