T9 flops 2 pair, turn gets ugly
Villain in this hand is a TAG. He has respect for my game, and we have tended to avoid each other at this otherwise donkish table. He steals correctly and knows that I defend correctly.
My image is pure crap, since my Aces just lost to Q6 offsuit; such hands have been a regular occurrence for me at this table. I may well have been seeing monsters under the bed when I checked the turn.

Re: T9 flops 2 pair, turn gets ugly
What's your plan Drew? You donked hoping to 3-bet the Flop?
You have a good hand but bottom 2-pair is always vulnerable. I vote take the standard line of max. your return early. Given your hand and his likely holdings he will opt to just call a lot of hands there, IMO. If so, CR the Flop gets more bets in when he fast-plays AND when he waits for the Turn. Obviously you may need to re-evaluate depending on the Turn card, but I do not see the donk getting more money here. I like a CR on this Flop, you maybe get to cap the Flop or 3-bet a safe turn card-vs-AK/KQ/KJ etc.(obviously the Turn here is not a great card to see). You never put a tough decision on Villain anywhere; donk, check-call, check-call. Man you are a dream to play against... |

Re: T9 flops 2 pair, turn gets ugly
way to play like a pussy
just check/raise the flop your hand isnt that great, any ace, Q or J on the turn is going to cause you drama |

Re: T9 flops 2 pair, turn gets ugly
Flop: I would normally c/r, but I dont think the donk is bad. We can not protect our hand against anything we want to fold anyway, and our equity isn't that great.
Turn: I think a b/f is best, since we are badly behind everything but a bluff raise. When you are behind you should often lose one BB less, and you do not let him check behind a worse hand. He has to turn raise on a worse hand often for this to be bad, since the pot is small. Also since the pot is small, giving up our few outs is not that expensive. River: I also c/c without a good read. |
