$4/180 FT 4-handed: Flopped Nuts. Now what?
I'm a relatively inexperienced player, and I just started playing $4/180s. Previous to this I played STTs with little success, and the $1/45 turbos.
This the first time I had made it past 9th place: PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t3000 (4 handed) Hero (t55454) BB (t70937) UTG (t119813) Button (t23796) Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t6000</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t4500, BB calls t3000. Flop: (t13950) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> Hero ??? BB has been aggressive the whole tournament, and I'd had been with him for two hours. UTG was being aggressive, re-raising all-in often preflop to other people's raises. My image was very tight. When I bet previously preflop, it was almost always with a premium hand. The way I figured it, my options were: 1) Check, and hope to induce a bet, and that a flush draw wouldn't be completed. 2) Bet pot. 3) Go all-in. What should I do? |

the converter seems to have the pot size wrong. also, why can't you bet less than pot?
if utg is really aggressive i'd lead about 1/3 pot and expect him to jam over me. |

I think despite the flush draw i'm always checking in this spot vs an aggro preflop raiser. betting into him when you've been tight all game shows a lot of strength. more than likely he'll follow up with a continuation bet and you then can put in a decent raise then with a check raise. obviously you're looking to get it all in here but even if you take down the pot with your c/r it will hopefully slow him down against you a bit as well.
nath do you not think a check is better with ultra tight image or does the c/r make it too easy for him to get away? |

I used the hand converted in the FAQ here: http://clark5.net/cgi-bin/hhconverter.cgi It seems to have converted it wrong. Is there a better one? The pot after flop is 18600. I guess I could of bet less than the pot, but it was something I hadn't thought of at the time. Since I mainly do smaller turbos, I'm used to lower Ms in the endgame, and more coinflips. |

if he has anything worth playing he's going to raise your flop bet. i like the 1/3 or 1/4 pot lead most of the time to induce a raise. check is okay but i dont like a check raise much.
dont worry about image too much in a 4/180 most players cant get past their cards let alone start to think about what you might have. |

Re: $4/180 FT 4-handed: Flopped Nuts. Now what?
Thanks guys. This is what ended up happening:
Flop: (t18600) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t49304 (All-In)</font>, BB calls t49304, UTG calls t49304. Turn: (t166512) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font> BB checks, UTG checks. River: (t166512) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font> BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t64359 (All-In)</font>, BB folds. Final Pot: t166512 Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> Hero has Kh Qs (straight, ace high). UTG has Jc Th (two pair, jacks and tens). Outcome: Hero wins t166512. </font> I was shocked that they both called, and I ended up winning the tourney. Looks like I would of doubled up no matter what I did, but I'll try a smaller bet next time. |

Your stack size is perfect for a checkraise all-in here. If your stack was larger, I'd be tempted to bet/3bet AI.
