I hate this spot. Especially w/o reads. What to do?

CO ($100)
HERO ($194)
SB ($232.70)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $2.
2 folds, CO (poster) checks, HERO raises to $9, 2 folds, CO calls $7.

Flop: ($21) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
CO checks, HERO bets $15, CO raises to $30, HERO ?

fold without a read
if you call the min raise you def have to give up if he's betting again , so i think a fold seems pretty standard here

I'll probably call. He's a poster, you don't know him, he's probably donk. So he raises pf with AK-AJ. On flop he probably doesnt raise AT or set; Even goofy two pair or A9 donk may call with. So I'll call and see what happens.

Also, nothing wrong with checking this flop.

- CO is a poster
- CO c/c pf
- CO c/minraise drawy flop
- Hero has TP

I either call flop (70%) and get it in on a safe turn to give him a chance to hang himselff or just put him AI right here, because of the draws out there.

I called and turn was 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and he went all-in.

He is sitting with half a buyin and given the FD on board you are commited as long as no spade hits on the turn. When you call here you have to be willing to felt this.

well i dont mess around with those posters. i shove the flop.

sh58 · #8 10-14-2007, 04:28 PM

it isn't readless. he posted so he is a donk. he minraised, he is a donk.

anyway. i can never folf TP to a minraise from a donk. look at the pot odds. you may have to fold if he bets out strong on the turn, but he won't do that often

sh58 · #9 10-14-2007, 04:30 PM

i didn't notice he only had 50BB. 3bet all in on flop

this is a must fold with no read IMO. calling the flop bet is burning money because hes probably an OOP poster drooler, and hes going to lead 2 more streets weakly and youll have to call. its not the min raise to be worried about its the next 2 streets that he might be taking you to value town with. the worst hand i call down with here is AJ
