Tough decisions on every street

Not much in the way of reads. SB has seemed aggressive preflop so far.

yes. you should be folding this on the flop. with the raise then a reraise behind both of you, and the UTG calls, this turns into set value only. with the bet and call on the flop im out of there.

I thought it was close to a fold preflop because I didn't think that the re-raisers range was that strong so I mightn't have the implied set odds but it would be hard to play any flop without a set. I would of folded lower pockets but thought that 99 was too strong to fold.

Okay, good flop. SB bets small, I now put him on missed overs but have no idea what UTG has. I think a call is good. (I considered a small raise to 30ish to protect my hand from overs.)

On the turn, I'm ready to fold to a decent bet but to the 1/3 pot bet I dunno what to do. Raising doesn't make sense. I consider folding but call.

River, I was thinking I should fold even as I press the call button.

eh, i doubt your good by the turn. flop is debatable, though i'm leaning more towards a fold.

ValarMorghulis · #5 01-06-2007, 01:30 PM

If I should fold on this flop to this action then maybe I should of folded preflop.

pf is fine given the other caller + position.

Preflop is OK because UTG has called, and you definitely have value for your set. The flop is a fold. Its very likely one has an overpair.

I don't mind preflop although reraising would make much sense there too.

Fold the flop, you're very unlikely to be good.

SirArthur · #9 01-06-2007, 03:44 PM

P/F is fine, I myself don't mind the flop call, he's betting $10 into a $30 pot?
If I hit a nine I'm golden, or maybe he's got a whiffed A/K & will check through the turn.
Players often throw out this weak little C/B with a missed A/K.
Ok, now he comes out again on the turn, and most players at this level anyway won't double barrel a whiffed A/K (unless it's a F/D as well).
So I'm letting go of this on the turn, and giving him credit for a higher P/P.
