Default Straightforward dude, $11 ps

Villain (2545) is a losing player. From what I've seen, he's been straightforward ABC. Still 1st hour, blinds 50/100

UTG+1 (3335) raises to 300, I (5965) call with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in mp, Villain calls in BB. Flop (1000):

2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Both check, I bet 400 into 1000, planning to fold to a raise. Both call. Turn (2200):

2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Both check again, I check(?)

River (2200):

2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Villain thinks a second and pushes his remaining 1845. UTG+1 folds, I fold.

Supernit or reasonable?

I don't like your flop bet.

It's usually too low to take the pot down against two opponents and even if you only get one caller pot will be 1800 - which commits at least BB, if both call you have your situation with a 2200 pot and also UTG+1 has only 2600 behind.

So on this flop you have to make a commitment-decision once you bet. If you commit yourself to the pot, bet out strong - I'd make it pot-size.

If you don't want commit just check behind.

As played you have the same decision to make on the turn.

river is a call for me.

jeez, does he ever not have a flush taking this line?

I think you have to fold.

don't know - but he gets good odds - and he beats many of villains possible holdings.

this could easily be something like QT, A4 too - we have to win only 1 out of 3.

i mean the odds are attractive yeah, i cant "hate" a call, but this is never a lone pair, straightforward players dont make bluff near psb shoves on the river when the flush card hits into 2 people with a pair. even if one did, youd need some kind of read to assume that.

i agree, i'm sure it's borderline - still with these odds i think i couldn't lay down a set.
