Default What\'s he folding, what\'s he calling with

Bellagio $3K event. 6K in chips to start. You got moved to the table two orbits ago and haven't played a hand yet, whereas the rest of the table has been very active. Many flops are limped multiway, raised pots are going to showdown, etc.

Blinds 50/100 and you raise 77 utg and get called by only the BB, who you read for LAGy but not maniacal. Flop comes T83 with two diamonds. Opponent checks, you make a standard cont bet of 400 and he check-raises to 1,400. You both started the hand with 6K.

Assuming you're fairly sure he doesn't have a set or an overpair, what hands do you expect him to fold to a push, and what hands do you expect him to call with?

Default Re: What\'s he folding, what\'s he calling with

Folding: 2nd pair, bottom pair, weak kickered 10, and maybe OESD, weak flush draw.

Calling: Nut or 2nd nut flush draw, TPTK, J10+, top 2, OESD+Flushdraw (79dd)

Is he the type of player to call with 7-9 or 10-8? Does he think he's pot committed to calling here?

he obv calls with 2 over cards and a flush draw. he may feel he has to call with JQ. I expect him to fold most Ts if he is a good player. However, on very active tables I doin't trust that.

Hard to say. I gave you all the info I had. Most players aren't trying to call of their stack with those hands tho.

Of course he isn't. My question is...would he call you preflop with a hand like 10-8.

If he raised it to 300 or less I am surely calling with T8s, but not T8o.

Agreed, Shaniac, what was the preflop raise to with 77?

I made it 300 preflop. I'll open raise for 300-400 at this level.

T8o would be top two pair and let's say his calling range preflop is huge.
