Default Re: Big draw but scary call from button 200NL

I didn't noticed that, that hand-converter have been giving me problems before. My bad.


What hand would call a shove on turn that we actually beat? (225 more to villian, if we raise flop to 75)

Imo, it seems like a push on the turn makes every hand that we would like to call (FD, 10, JJ-QQ and so on) fold. Obv, hands that beats us call.
As stated, he's a fish, but not a total moron.

Edit: I do care about preflop, but I'm aware of the small raise pre, I'm usually doing it bigger.

Ok, didn't realize you were so deep here. So, shoving is not good.

He's shown he like's the hand on a pretty drawless board. He has more hands you are ahead than you are behind IMO. I think JT, KT, 88 type hands are all likely here.

So, is he calling with those hands? That's read dependent. If the answer is no, then I think you have to check here and try to induce a weaker hand to bluff. This will also mitigate the times he has a 9 and you lose less.

If you think he'll call down with those weaker holdings, then I would be betting for value. Even if you are behind, you have outs.

I think he is capable of calling with those hands you just mentioned for a small bet. It's just that betting small on turn just feels so friggin weak.

feel free to explain.

You might wanna consider not talk about preflop action, the converter is showing wrong potsize and it's already a fact that the raise shoulda been bigger (lOl at making it a huge "miss")

Potsize is 21 on the flop.

I dislike pf, but as played, is a flop lead horrible?

I don't get this hand. You're BB? But you and the hero check it to the sb on the flop? Did you just straight min-raise his lead bet on the flop or did you somehow checkraise someone? That will affect the hand. I mean a min checkraise on a draw like that seems poor, but it could get a check from behind you on the turn, if that's what you're looking for. As stated, the min raise either way makes a 3-way pot with you in the middle very possible. Obviously, you're trying to avoid that. Either raise big or just call. A cold call from the button could be a bigger flush draw or a similar hand like 78s (possibly diamonds). As played. I think turn is an easy check. Maybe you're beating one and it is possible that you have them both at this point, but you're probably looking at a call here, if not an all in move from the button. I mean... you could also be drawing dead on 9T, 9K, something like that. If button was drawing, I think he checks a 3 way pot on that turn and if he wasn't... well, I hope you're beat.

Now when you mentioned it, the converter seems to have screwed up more then just the potsize. I'll take a closer look next time. Anyway, I think we can conclude that we should raise the flop bigger (not just isolate SB), and prob. try to check it on turn if called by button.
