Villain is 18/10/3 over about 100 hands. They seem pretty quiet/standard:

how did button go all in for $26.50 if he had $23.50 to begin the hand?

why rr if you aren't going to call the push?

If he reraises my reraise I'm confident he has a set. He would have 3bet preflop JJ+, and I doubt he plays a combo draw this way. I can't see his line being anything but a set or two pair (two pair being far less likely, but possible 65s).

i agree about the range, although i bet he 3bets TT also. even so i don't think you have to wait for the rr to fear the set here; that's the mostly likely hand given this line so i don't see why you would need to rr. i think it's fine to just call and fold when he pushes on the turn

i don't like your mini-reraise. Just push over his mini-raise.

as played, easy call.

I normally raise more, but given his stack size I couldn't without forcing myself to commit to his all-in. Also, I really disagree with this being an easy call.

he just smooth called which which makes it harder to find out where you are at. the way he played leads me to believe he either has a set of sixes or fives.

lorenzo4ever · #8 05-09-2007, 06:39 PM

I would play my stack on this hand. He can only beat you on the flop with AA, 1010, 66, 55, 106, 105, 65. As he called your preflop raise, he can have AA, 1010, 66 or 55. I don't think he has AA, 66 or 55. I think he had at best 1010 or A6s for a Flush Draw. He may have KK, QQ, JJ etc.

I would call.

look how drawy the board is. Your raise just gives him the odds to draw to any of his many outs and you don't even know if it's a flush or straight draw. Just raise more on the flop and push most turns...I'm probably pushing any turn to be honest.

Given how drawy the board is I think makes this an easy call.

why can't he have 66/55?
