$50NL: Loose pfr puts Hero in tight spot...

[SirFelixCat]

Villain has been pretty ABC thus far and has not gotten out of line. The play pf is definitely ??? but after the call in-between, I figured if I flop a monster, I get a stack, maybe two.

So, while not quite a monster, it's a pretty damn good flop, I thought. So, all that being said, how do you play it post flop and what range do you put villain on?

Actually, after running it thru pokerstove, I assigned villain a range of 99+, once you do that, I'm 52% on the flop. I guess the correct answer is push and hit my hand, eh?

[Stan Loh]

Well no FE if going all in so I say just fold. You're going to make your hand about slighty better than 1/3 so I say it's not worth it. I'll do my gambling in a better position.

Apart from the fact that I probably wouldn't have raised the A3s from UTG and would furthermore not have called the reraise, I would play check/call here, as you get a lot of outs and you will very often get good enough pot odds to call a bet.

[SirFelixCat]

Oh, trust me, the A3s is not the normal range, but table had been fairly tight up to this point, so thought I'd take a stab.

And Stan, provided I'm not up against AA here, I have to assume that I have 15 clean outs, therefore, I'm almost 60% to hit my hand, not 33% or so....

[jose_marti]

You have 15 clean outs here .. poooooshhh. ...

Just make sure you hit one of your outs. I generally don't and I always feel like it's a mistake ..

[dirtylobster]

I was standing in line watching the table and saw that hand going down and I thought it was good. Though you didn't have much fold equity you did have enough outs to make it a good play.

Hrm you're right. However though if I am just about 50% to hit my hand I don't think I will take it. So push here.

[dirtylobster]

Besides, if you just would've called you couldn't have called another PSB on the turn unimproved.

Hero folds PF, I put villian on a high pocket pair classic play.


You have 12 clean outs, villian hasnt got 78.... Do you want to gamble?
