AKo, standard play?

UTG+1 after 36 hands is 17/0/.5, BB after 111 hands is 49/20/1.7. I had seen BB overplay a few hands and show some maniac type tendencies.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, Hero raises, 6 folds, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.

Standard raise. I am like my chances with two callers.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB bets, UTG+1 raises, Hero 3-bets, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.

I didn't even think twice about reraising here. Was this a mistake?
Turn: (7.75 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.

I am liking my chances and surely not giving up a free card.

River: (10.75 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 bets, Hero? 

I am not sure what to think at this point, but I don't feel like a flush is out there. Maybe UTG+1 got lucky on the river. Size of the pot makes me think calling is mandatory.

I put UTG+1 on a flush...he raised flop for a free card, calls the turn and donks the river when the flush card comes. I'm not sure I can fold this, but if I call, I'm expecting to lose.

I fold because the BB is left to act. He also looks like he's playing a flush draw with a check-raise river. UTG could've hit a set on the river or slowrolled his straigth from the turn. Also, when a passive player bets, he usually has something.

Call, fold to a raise from BB. Pot is too big to let go for one bet and you could still be ahead. If it's raised, one of them hit the flush.

Call on the river, fold if BB raises.

When +1 raises the flop I would take notice. He appears to be a passive player up to this point. I like the 3-bet on the flop.

On the river I call with the pot size and take notes on what was shown down. (edit -If river goes nuts you know the flush hit)

It's close to a fold the first time, but this is my play. I think you're good here better than 1 time in 12.

I don't understand the first time. Do you mean on the flop?

martinimagic · #9 01-30-2006, 08:01 PM

I like your call. You probably came the closest with your analysis to the results.

NH. Given the limited read on UTG+1 I think you need to call the river but it sure looks like he hit his flush. If your read on him had been over several hunderd hands I would say fold, but 33 hands is too small to classify this guy as a mouse for sure.
