Post by: matt_hilary on September 20, 2007, 10:33:19 AM
No particular reads. I've (hopefully) been seen to make a few good decisions, I've taken out a couple of shortstacks so far.

Game #5610729644: Hold'em NL ($0.15/$0.25) - 2007/09/20 - 10:24:46 (UK)
Table "Blow" Seat 6 is the button.
Seat 1: nige001 ($25.15 in chips)
Seat 2: lordpug ($11.05 in chips)
Seat 3: Buddygirl ($48.31 in chips)
Seat 4: matt74o ($45.04 in chips)
Seat 5: Finepix ($7.58 in chips)
Seat 6: Davekngs ($22.20 in chips)
nige001: posts small blind $0.15
lordpug: posts big blind $0.25

$18.50 in the pot now and $6 to call. 3/1 your money

He's in the small blind so his range could be very wide indeed.

If he's already made a flush then you have 7 outs*

If he has a set you have 11 outs

If he has two pair then you have 19 outs

I think it's unlikey he has top pair as if he had AQ or KQ surely he'd have played back at you pre-flop?. He might have QJ I suppose but I doubt it.

I would have been inclined to just take a free card rather than bet the turn. He's now check raised you so I don't think he's doing it with a weak hand like two pair especially on that board. It's not the sort of board you want to be giving free cards on.

It's probably a fold from me but I'd be kicking myself for not just taking the free card when it was offered.

I don't really play cash games so I could be talking balls here though.


*unless he has 7c 8c

Cheers for the advice guys. I pushed (though I'd have folded without the club) and he showed KJo for the straight (think the jack was a club). River was a blank.

Any thoughts on his play?

typcial of such a low limit really. these donks very rarely pass the flop with any sort of drawing hand unless it's a big big bet.
