By checking the flop, you are now a proud owner of a fold.

I would def check this flop. If BB is a good player, he'll know that once u check behind on the flop, there are almost no hands that u can rep on the turn/river (except maybe Axcc.) Why call the turn when there's a good chance that he fires at the river, both with value bets and some bluffs. You have almost no chance to improve and your equity against his range is behind pot odds IMO.

Read dependant, he could fold to a raise, but what an ugly board. What hand checks behind on the flop on this board to raise the turn? And if you flat call the turn, he most definetly puts you on AK, and will fire again on the river. You could make an argument for continuing on with the hand, to each his own, I let it go. What is your plan then call? Raise with intentions of calling a shove? or folding to a shove? |

Unless you are a maniac that was raising 1/3 of the hands, than I would just assume a good player is trapping here with AA. Otherwise why are we raising with 66, just burning money, we won't see too many flops that are great for our hand. I think the better question is what is this guy flat calling out of the BB? Is this a monster or is this habitual? |

I don't mind the flop check here since flop texture and stacks are great for him to CRAI. This turn card is pretty good for you since it reduces the chance of an 8 in his range, and he's not likely betting a 7. So his range is Q, draws, and bluffs.
Call turn, eval river. |

[/ QUOTE ] What's you plan for a club, spade, card higher than 8, card lower than 6? If the 6 falls than we fist pump. Assuming he leads for about 15-20k, no matter what hits. |

Re: ftp 25k ITM, 66 gets flatted by bb
I think a big problem here are the stack-sizes with antes that huge.
While you have 19BB your M=7,5 With your preflop raise BB gets pot odds of 1:3! - so he can really call with ATC here, still getting the right odds. The problem is if you raise more preflop you are committed. So which betsize is best preflop? I think 2,5BB is fine if you play a hand that has some potential to improve, like an Ax (x>9) or SC. I don't think that your preflop betsize with a medium PP is well chosen, cause you will get a call from either or both of the blinds and have nearly no chance to improve - for setmining the stacks are too low. So if you play this hand, and I think you should play it I would make it more preflop. 1.) you get FE, and you are glad if you can win this hand without seeing a flop. 2.) if you still get called, you know much better where you stand - now you simply have no idea - BB can play 72o and you would be behind 3.) if you bet more preflop, you cross the commitment threshold and can play it much easier postflop, cause decisions get more easier. As played here I wouldn't call the turn bet, cause this commits you anyway - either shove it or fold and I would fold it, cause you lack FE to make it +EV. |
