Stars 45k Hand: Flop OESD with 11BB, how to procede?

Double Eagle · #1 01-24-2006, 07:49 AM

Villain has been playing a lot of pots, limping or min raising early with a variety of hands and has generally been playing loose but well post flop. Hero should have his typical Rock of Gibraltar image. How do I procede?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t16000 (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

UTG+1 (t285333)
MP1 (t245956)
MP2 (t352165)
CO (t228051)
Button (t338053)
SB (t424155)
Hero (t176888)
UTG (t88729)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t16000, MP1 calls t16000, 3 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t61600) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 bets t32000, MP1 folds, SB folds, Hero ??????

Edited to say: The pot on the flop is actually 70k or so and there are still 50 players left with avg chips at 220k or so.

Not sure, it looks like UTG+1 limped with a decent ace and is now trying to see where the table is at. And as I reread your post, with reads on the villain my line of thinking has shifted. I play super-LAG and this is one of my fav moves: no one has shown strength preflop, if Villain can get MP out of the hand (which he did) he's got position on two random hands. Its a fantastically profitable situation. If you've seen him limp / minraise bad hands from the earlier positions as well as late, I say that its a push. If not, I fold and pick a better spot.

Calling (which will mean that I've put nearly 1/3 of my chips in this pot) is out of the question. Fold or push I say.

I'M ALL-IN BABY!!!
