Title: Your Move? Post by: Laxie on May 26, 2008, 03:30:39 PM Serial raiser UTG does their usual and raises about 5 times the blind to 500 I think.
It's only the first level of the game (blinds 50/100) and I've not seen a flop yet, so have starting stack. I'm on the button and find Ad 9d Not ideal, I know, but I've got the chips to make the call and decide to see a flop. Flop comes down Q 9 4 rainbow. Serial raiser shoves the chips all in and has me covered. It's a STT with a small buy in. Do you make the call and take your chances...or fold? Title: Re: Your Move?

Seriously. I sense the opponent is known to OP! Title: Re: Your Move? Post by: MANTIS01 on May 26, 2008, 03:57:28 PM One of the first things we learn is to play the opposite way to our oppos. So making a loose pre-flop call against a loose opponent is a strategy to avoid imo. By making a marginal pre-flop call you set yourself up for an awkward marginal decision on the flop, like this one. Having the chips to call pre-flop isn't a good enough reason to make the call imo.
UTG man shows us he isn't afraid to jam the flop for 12k after betting 500 so with plenty of time ahead I would trap with stronger. Title: Re: Your Move? Post by: mondatoo on May 26, 2008, 03:58:14 PM Fold pre and pass on flop surely better spot to get your chips in with.Could he possibly not have js or 10s in this spot as well as pos q.

Title: Re: Your Move? Post by: Laxie on May 26, 2008, 06:10:38 PM Have you finally come to your senses then Duke? You're just cross because I stole most of yer chips that hand. ;nanana;
For the next hour or more, he decided a nap was in order. Slept on the shoulder of the woman next to him. Until I woke him and he shook his head again in disbelief over the call. rotflmfao Title: Re: Your Move? Post by: RichEO on May 26, 2008, 08:43:22 PM Against the Duke. Re-raise pre ~1200
You have to get the chips before someone else does ;fishing; Title: Re: Your Move? Post by: action man on May 27, 2008, 06:06:20 AM i own the duke's soul so obv i would be able to pick up a supertell on him and act accordingly.
Title: Re: Your Move? Post by: Laxie on May 27, 2008, 08:48:11 AM Forgot to tell you all what his monster hand was and he's not paid me off to keep it zipped, sooooooooooooo...
He raised pre and pushed on the flop with the power that is 9 5 os!!! I just KNEW he didn't have a Q or a set, but did feel he had hit the flop. Reckoned if it was the 9, I had him out-kicked and he'd need a miracle saver. If it was the 4 he still needed a miracle saver. No saver landed for him and he spent the rest of the week-end shaking his head in disbelief. 'I can't believe you made that call.' 'Dude...it was YOU! Of course I call. Anyone else and I fold pre flop.' Too easy. rotflmfao |
