Title: Playing The Blinds
Post by: vampitup on September 28, 2005, 10:38:14 PM
Example Scenario: (Cash game)

You hold  4c 8h in the BB.  Folded round to button, who calls.  SB makes the money up and you check.

Flop comes:  8s 2d kc.

The SB checks, and for the sake of argument in this example, you check too.  The button bets 3/4 of the pot.  The SB folds.

How would you then play it?

Reraise then dump if u dont pair your kicker. Or just let it go depends on my read of the player.

Limit PL NL???

In all 3 cases i would have bet the flop, but as u say in this case we didnt. If its Limit i check raise.

If its PL/NL i may call and fold to any more bets, or just fold right out (i am only intrestead in the big pots)

All things being equal i would check then fold - you could be a mllion miles behind. -if i was desperate and needed the chips in the middle and the limper was capable of folding the hand he may have limped with then i would push in.

I remember something in your list of reminders Junior.
"Just because you're in the blinds your cards don't automatically double in value, idiot" or similar

It's only second pair, no kicker. pass in a heart beat
