Villain appears to be paying attention. He is a winning player on sharkscope and has solid PT numbers.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2594)
UTG+1 (t2900)
CO (t1888)
Button (t2193)
SB (t2565)
Hero (t1360)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls t150, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, Hero checks

Flop: (t375) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero - what's the plan?

I should add that he probably noticed that I have played very tight and I have shown down only premium hands to this point. He most likely noticed a big pot I lost in a set over set hand. I doubled back up with AK shortly after that loss. This is affecting my thinking.

i think you have to bet 200 here and shut down to ANY resistance.

check/fold isn't that bad now that i think about it either, especially considering that villain is a winner at the 55s.

wow i totally disagree.

i'm going back and forth between lead and get in or CRAI, but i'm pretty sure it's one of those.

what are we scared a winning, solid player is limping TT-AA utg+1 at a 6-handed table with blinds at 75/150?

i like bet/fold.

All,

If we bet and get raised, what are we putting villain on that we can't call?

sippin_criss · #6 12-05-2006, 01:43 AM

a solid villain isnt raising a hand worse than a pair of nines. id probably crai vs a random donk though.

"a solid villain isn't raising a hand worse than a pair of 9s"

So I assume you give him credit for limped overpair / 99 / 44? Would a solid villain open limp w/ 4x, or for that matter 99-AA?

Bet-call.

sippin_criss · #9 12-05-2006, 01:47 AM

well, lets just say he decided to limp 77 here, and BB bets the 9 hi flop, guys with brains arent going to shove there. if he limps there its probably either a med pp or like kk or aa. i doubt hes getting in there with sooted connectors or something
