Flopped Top 2 Pair in 6-Max $25 NL

[Sense1ess]

Damn converter keeps having minor problems. Anyways, here goes (no reads on UTG player):

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

BB ($27.05)
UTG ($106.65)
Hero ($25.45)
Button ($3.33)
SB ($56.65)

Preflop: Hero is MP with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
UTG calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, Button calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB checks.

Flop: ($1.10) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1</font>, Button goes all-in, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $9</font>, Hero???

I'm putting the button on a flush draw or possibly a weak ace.. I'm thinking the UTG player has either 33 or A3. It's hard to put him on pocket aces or jacks. I guess K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is an outside possiblity, but I didn't consider that hand much.So all-in or fold?

Ok, thanks.

Anyone disagree?

[djoyce003]

i'd call. You only have a buyin and the board is draw heavy. I'd expect to be ahead here more often than i'm behind. BTW I raise this preflop 100% of the time.

[Hoopster81]

I call the re-raise and call his turn all-in

[Sense1ess]

Yeah, I usually raise since I'm pretty aggressive, but I called to mix it up.

Why should I wait for him to put me all-in on the turn? If I decide I have the best hand and am probably ahead I think going all-in after the re-raise is fine. If I call I'm going to be left with about $16 and the pot is about $22. So if I call I'm basically committed. That's the case even if a flush card hits since that's not within the hand range I put him on.

[Tonding]

Raise preflop.
The large overbet could mean that he wants to end it right there.
All-in seems to be best here, because you can surely expect him to call.

[ThaHero]

I understand you wanted to mix it up, but I'm not really sure AJo is the hand you mix it up with, since it's more vulnerable.

Either way, you gotta push. I don't like waiting on the turn. If a third club comes and he pushes, you'll have a tough decision. I'm more of an advocate of getting your money in with the best of it.

Or if the turn is a club and the action you were getting from A3 dries up, you will be wishing you'd gotten it in on the flop.
