NL50: How to play this turned top two-pair?
Bodog full-table. My prior note on the BB, who has my $51 covered, was "Called a raise in MP w/J9s." The CO, who has $45, also seems kinda fishy.
Preflop: BB posts $0.50. chesspain is MP with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. 1 fold, EP calls $0.50, 1 fold, chesspain calls $0.50, CO calls $0.50, 1 fold, <font color="red">SB raises to $1.00</font>, BB calls $1, everyone else calls. Flop: ($5) A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [5 players] SB checks, <font color="red">BB bets $3</font>, EP calls $3, chesspain calls $3, CO calls $3, SB folds. Turn: ($17) 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [4 players] <font color="red">BB bets $9</font>, EP folds, chesspain... a) Calls? b) Min-raises? c) Raises the pot? d) Pushes? |

Re: NL50: How to play this turned top two-pair?
i dont know about pf. whats this limp business?
i could see villain going broke with most aces here. a set is a small possibility. right now i think you're either WA/WB. his bet looks weak so he probably wont call a decent raise. theres a player to act, so i'd call and raise it on the river. |

I'd raise. A min-raise might do it. If you think you are ahead, which you probably are, might as well get a little extra in.

I really don't like your preflop limp. This hand has very little potential for hitting flops.
I fold on the flop too, after MP called, I find it likely that we are drawing to 3 outs. Turn... I'll just make a raise to $22 here.. At these stakes you will get payed off. Calling and raising river is not so bad either. |

I push, it's going all-in anyway since you won't have much left behind, and he's nearly just as likely to call a push as he is a standard raise. I don't play FR though so my advice might be a little tainted.

Raise the pot. There are draws available so calling is too dangerous. I think pushing is fine too.

Anything besides push or call is stupid. I would probably push, and expect to get called by a pretty wide range of hands.

Re: NL50: How to play this turned top two-pair?
I think your preflop call is fine. In 6 max, I raise the limper all day everyday but FR is more nitty.
On the flop I don't like your call for the following reasons. 1) BB, not the preflop raiser, bet out which under most circumstances mean TP (or more). You don't beat many aces you lose to AT+ and you lose to A4 and A5. 2) Further compounding the problem is EP calls on this relatively drawless board. Its not unreasonable to put him on an ace. He could have something like 76s I guess. So really your call is trying to hit your 3 outter kicker. As played though, I push you beat all 2 pairs and only lose to a set and could easily be called by good aces and A4-A5 |
