blonde poker forum

I'm playing the 50p/£1 table at DTD with £200 max sit down and straddling, although there hasn't been much of that going on and this is generally a tight table with only a couple of weak spots. It is the sort of table though where if you raise to £7 you get 6 callers but raise to £8, everybody folds...

So we have the standard four limpers, I pick up  Jc Jd in the SB, my stack is about £160. I have been snug but aggressive when I do play a hand, the usual really.

I raise to £12

The BB seems solid, likes to see a flop, is capable of a laydown - he looks aat his cards and calls instantly. His stack is approx. £75.

Amazingly we see the flop heads up.

Flop is  5s 6d 7d

£28 in the pot, I lead for £15.

Without much thought once more he calls.

The turn is  4h.

Now I know he only has about £48 left. I consider putting him in but that isn't going to achieve much, I check. He bets £10.

I am putting him on a small to medium pocket pair, suited connectors, maybe the same as me, 10,10 or at a stretch AK and he is floating me, but given the flat pre flop and the likely 5 callers this seems very unlikely.

His betting screams of a set, two pair or 88 for the turned over pair and turned straight.

I know that he is pot committed so if I call the rest is going in anyway.

Thoughts please.

You have 1 pair, he might have better... or worse

situation summed brilliantly.

wager all his chips and find out :P

I haven't posted on blonde for ages. It is such considered and helpful analysis that has reminded me why.

How can that post have pissed you off that much, just lol.

yeah seriously, you say there is no point in betting, then we check and don't know what to do, that is one hella good reason to bet if we can still have the best hand.

the guy also cant be that solid if he snap peels 12 out of 75 vs the tight guy at the table.

Bet the turn and wager it all or check and be willing to fold what other options are there?

It didn't that much, his reply just wasn't that helpful which is what I was looking for. Maybe Poker Hand Analysis is the wrong place to get a hand looked at. I'm all for the mickey taking in the Rail and the Lounge

I didn't say I didn't know what to do. I wanted some other opinions to see if what I actually did had more merit than my other option. As you correctly point out there were only two options and believe it or not I was aware of this.

I agree about his preflop call , but given what I had seen from this player, it looked a little suspicious.

I don't even think he was "mickey taking" he gave his read without writing 16 lines of bs, there isn't much to say about the hand. For some reason people just becoming unbelievable sensitive when posting on pha, I don't think there's been a thread on here for over a year where someone's genuinely took ott amount of shit, imo it's the best board on the forum.

 bit of both tbh, didn't mean any offence though.

This just looked like a 'do I feel lucky ?' kind of spot and not much to analyse

Fair enough, I really didn't take offence but the apparent "do I feel lucky punk" aspect to the spot is what makes it interesting - it's very easy given his stack to just get it in after he bets so small on the turn but I actually sat there and gave it some thought. Obviously I was way behind or way ahead but when alarm bells go off in your head I feel you owe it to  yourself to at least listen to them before you ignore them.

Fold for me, hands your beating probs 99 1010, dont think he bets 10 with these.

In real life though I defo call the ten, because its only ten init, hit your jack, get it in, get shown a run.

He probs has a run.

I go all in

Wp cos.

Pha board is the nuts
