Do you play this hand or wait for more of a lock?

[abscr]

My image at the table is probably somewhat TAG. After 300 hands today, it said I was seeing the flop %34 of the time (including blinds). I am raising good suited runs (MP2 or later); AAxx, KKxx in position; AAxx,KKxx with good side cards mostly anywhere. And I always raise 3xbb unless I'm reraising someone, where it can be a large range of raises.

I usually make a continuation bet 4 out of 5 times, depending on the players and texture of board. If there is an obvious draw that doesn't come on the turn and I'm in position, I'll often fire again on the turn. With resistance, I usually give it up, unless, of course, I hit with a decent draw.

Hand (at work, so no HH):
My and villian's stack: 100bb

10 handed

I have 9Txx

Villian calls, I raise 3xbb, two callers behind, Villian calls.

4 to flop with two behind me

Flop: 99T

Villian bets pot, you . . .?

No read on villian; he either just sat down or I wasn't paying enough attention.


Edit: Didn't put it in, because I figured it wouldn't matter (but I guess it might). Two diamonds on the flop, and I have two in my hand.

You sound more LAG than TAG (not a bad thing just pointing it out).

What's the XX in your hand?

I'd raise pot here. It's unlikely he has TT given you have a T and there's one on the board. He probably won't put you on 9T either, so he'll probably put in his stack with A9 or something. If he has something like AKJ9, you really don't want to let him draw cheaply. And you don't want him or anyone behind you to call with an overpair hoping to spike.

umm .. im losing my stack here ... when i re-pot it.. if he shoves ... i think for a while and then make a crying-call

Interesting.

Kind of forget my xx, but I know they are unders. I think maybe 83, one being suited to my T. And actually, two of my suit came on the flop, too!

[cmyr]

yeah, I put it in here. worst comes to worst you spike a 9.

[abscr]

That was my thought. It never gets there for me, though.

[abscr]

He shoves. Do you save the other 25-40% of your stack, or do you convince yourself he has A9xx?

[cmyr]

read? I'd consider folding, maybe, if xx were lower then T, and we were deep. With redraws to a higher boat if we're splitting (likely the case) then it's automatic. Agaisnt any player who's shown a lack of familiarity with the game, I'd call anyway.


If you have 30 percent of your stack left, you're getting 1:5 or so on your money... the times you're ahead and the times you're splitting make this a pretty clear call I think.
