Sunday $1M - flopped straight draw bet is check-raised

WinBig · #1 07-22-2007, 07:48 PM

Sunday $1M this afternoon with blinds at 400/800 and a 50 ante. I raise to 2400 UTG with AQ offsuit and a stack of 18K. I was not raising a lot so I probably had a tight image. Folded to the BB with a stack of 60K who calls.

Flop is JT9 with two hearts and I have the A of hearts. He checks, I bet 3200 and he check-raises another 8000 to 11200. The BB had raised UTG earlier with AJ offsuit and shoved a J high flop so I'm not sure how much I can narrow down his range.

There is 20K in the pot and a call would leave me only 4K so my decision is to push or fold. I have zero fold equity so does an open-ended straight draw warrant a push or is this an easy fold?

Results in white: <font color="white"> I called and he showed KQ of hearts for the flopped straight and his flush hit on the river. </font>

I like a check on the flop, seems like youre going to get c/r alot on this board. If you think his bet on the turn is weak you could always just shove over his bet and maybe have FE. I just hate betting and calling off my chips on this board.

I use this line on these type of texture of boards from time to time.

I got it but I am old and even I can't remember the name of the show.

Chant the following loudly:

"I AM A LUCKY PLAYER. A POWERFUL WINNING FORCE SURROUNDS ME".

Then shove.

By the way, does anyone fold AQo UTG with that stack size in order to keep their chips for resteals yo? Just wondering if there is a strong argument for dumping it pre - flop.

You can definitely make an argument, but I don't dump it, especially with antes. I mean... you have 20BB and AQ. It's a good hand. You may not get a better one for a long time.
