2-5 NL live @ Borgata, flopped dummy end of straight, now what...

[RarocASP]

I fear that recently I've been playing a little weak and have been trying to adjust. Questions/comments about all aspects of this play are appreciated. Stack sizes are all approximated except for UTG, SB, and Hero.

9 handed, 2-5 NLHE monday night live at The Borgata.
New to table (played less than two full orbits). No real reads except that UTG had raised then continuation bet about 40% of all pots.

SB: $410.00
Hero (BB): $385.00
UTG: $250.00
UTG+1: $700.00
MP1: $400.00
MP2: $700.00
MP3: $700.00
CO: $1000.00
BTN: $400.00


Preflop: Hero is dealt 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (9 Players)
UTG calls $5.00, UTG+1 calls $5.00, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $5.00, 2 folds, BTN calls $5.00, SB calls $3.00, <font color="red">Hero checks </font>

Flop: ($30) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero checks</font>, UTG bets $25.00, UTG+1 calls $25.00, MP2 calls $25.00, BTN folds, SB calls $25.00, <font color="red">Hero raises to $125.00</font>, 3 folds, SB raises all-in to $380.00, <font color="red">Hero ?</font>


FWIW, I have no reads on SB except he turned to me and gave me the classic Caro death stare after pushing.

Hold your left hand to the heavens, while saying call.

McShovaments. He has a set at least as often as a bigger straight.

Not only a set, but 88 and two pair combos play this way too

your 51BB stack at the decision point also makes it an insta-call

[RarocASP]

any thoughts on the $125 c/r? Too much, too little?

[ReptileHouse]

I lead out instead of check raising, personally. More likely to trap dead money in if someone in late position raises or SB check/raises. I'm looking to bet/3bai here.

Agreed on leading out, however I was counting on (hoping) UTG to lead out for me (as I observed my few hands at the table). Was thinking SB would take the same line with a strong made hand and c/r. As he just called with two hearts on board in a 6 handed pot, I felt safe to raise. Thought his pushing range def included a heart draw, with a made straight or trips less likely as he just c/c the flop.

folding here is a sin. cmon bro

You cant fold this for less than 100 BB's, esp against an unknown in the blinds.

Also, leading is &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; than c/r here.

Call this quicker than Hellmuth against the Bear.
