100NL @%*#%&!! Min-raises on turn

WSOP2007 · #1 10-13-2006, 02:08 AM

hey guys I need your help! I think I have a pretty big leak that's exploited by minraising me on the turn for example these two hands:

UTG is 40/1/1.1 over a small sample, no specific reads.

Button ($124.20)
SB ($171.09)
BB ($48.50)
UTG ($13.59)
MP ($91.84)
Hero ($129.16)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG calls $1, MP calls $1, Hero raises to $6, Button calls $6, 2 folds, UTG folds, MP folds.

Flop: ($15.50) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $12, Button calls $12.

Turn: ($39.50) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $24, Button raises to $48, Hero...
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In this hand UTG is 58/9/1.5 over a small sample, no specific reads.

UTG ($168.03)
Hero ($119.60)
SB ($60.50)
BB ($92.16)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG calls $1, Hero raises to $5, SB (poster) calls $4.50, 1 fold, UTG calls $4.

Flop: ($16) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $10, SB folds, UTG calls $10.

Turn: ($36) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $22, UTG raises to $44, Hero…

I know in the 2nd example I should make it 2-4 dollar more on the flop. How about the turn? What is your line with the information available?

Baluga Theorem?

Hand 1 seems like a pretty easy fold - he's pretty passive and just minraised ya.

I've just reread the Baluga Theorem post. "Basically, the whole point of the "Baluga theorem", as I see it, is to strongly reevaluate one-pair hands facing a turn raise."
Can you tell me how you revaluated the hands?

Does that mean I shouldn't have bet the turn in the 1st hand at all?

Can you tell me why?Does that mean I shouldn't have bet the turn at all in those 2 hands? I mean if I'm going to fold to a minraise am I not turning my hand into a bluf?

check the turn in hand 1 since you're getting called by a FD only and folding everything else. i'd rather induce a bet or bet the river when I might get a call from a Q.

fold to this min-raise, it's not KJ or AT like ever
