blonde poker forum

Day 2 of a £300 tourney, 39 players remaining, getting near the money, the comp has an excellent structure. We have 35k at 600/1200/100 so almost 30bigs. We are in the BB with  Jh 8h, a young player, playing 35k, who has just come to the table raises to 3200 from UTG+1, the Hijack (covering) calls and it folds round to me. Should we fold here? I elected to call

Flop is  8d 9h Th

The pot is 11,100 what's the best line here?

fold- he's gonna get there.


I like leading smallish here with a view of 4 bet jamming if raised. Or continue to lead a ton of turns if flatted

fold pre. but once in pot

if he is one of those who C bet 2/3 pot+ i don't mind a check jam or 1/2 pot bet/jam any reraise/jam turn if called (and missed)

Its rare I flop a draw like this, all my money is going in.

Structure doesn't matter, it's the same as pub poker apparently.
 
I hope you looked up the young player's Hendon Mob profile before making your decision?



Back to the hand, I fold-pre, but follow George's line once you hit that huge flop (and then run better).

Fold pre. The raise is somewhat large.

+ if we lead and get raised we '3 bet' fwiw!

u know what I meant titty

so tilting though.


"I raise"

no sir you bet.


I re-raise


no sir that's a raise...... etc

fold pre. lots of pha start with looked down had a sort of nice ish hand i wanna see the flop with oop then i get totally fecked over coz a sort of miracle flop came and then did my nuts in. but thats the old way. dont really like telling people what to do but this seems basic poker to me. (not just having a dig or level honest)

I led for 5100

I fold pre. As played I lead/jam flop

I'd have made it 4825.

that

lol ok

i dont generally lead at all, so I'd check and see the action before trying to get moniez in the pot.

I think anything other than leading here would be a mistake cos I think it checking round would be a bt of a trainwreck

in this spot tho I would defo c.f, villain's range is almost entirely KJ dominated, and I really dont fancy ur chances here vs that hand. i think you can find much better spots where the river isnt an offsuit king

nice jam from him tho wpwp

I'm in the middle of potty training save so am a bit upto my neck in it at the minute. What are you doing?

Yeh if it checks round its a disaster, defo thought leading and calling it off was the best play, was unsure about the preflop cawl.

Huzzah Dave's perked up a bit and back to his usual comedy.

the greek killed it. geeeeg thread.

made the same mistake in the past by just flatting initial raiser & 1 caller when on bb preflop and then getting it in on the flop v QQ and lost.  Hence fold trouble hands preflop!
