Title: early laydown Post by: not gus on January 24, 2006, 10:50:01 PM Very early in Luton main event. Blinds 25/50 my stack 9600.
I have Qh Ks on the button, seat 6 limps cutoff limps I raise to 150 to build a pot. Both limpers call blinds fold. My initial read of these limpers is that the first one is reasonably solid and the second willing to play more hands.Pot now 525 Flop comes Qc 9d 2h check check I bet 400 1st limper folds second one calls turn 7s check I bet 800 (in retrospect i hate this bet. If I play this hand again I check here and call any reasonable bet on the river) raise to 2400 Yuk. I have no idea where I am now. He could have 79, a set of 9's 7's or 2's, AQ or nothing at all. I quietly kick myself for betting and allowing this raise and fold my hand. I think he had a set from the way the betting went, but I also think I might have invited a play here. Either way a mandatory fold at this stage of the comp for 1/4 of my stack. I appreciate your views....

It smells like a set to me. -- No flush draw -- a straight draw would be making a dangerous move -- low board, so 2 pair unlikely. I doubt Q-2, 7-2, etc -- too many chips on line to be making such big moves I don't see too much wrong with betting the turn though. He could well have a weaker queen, eg QJ. Also, betting pushes off drawing hands such as JT or KJ. Title: Re: early laydown Post by: JP on January 27, 2006, 01:05:12 AM set of deuces
Title: Re: early laydown Post by: TightEnd on January 27, 2006, 01:09:14 AM I forget who said it, but never overplay top pair etc etc
it has to be a set or at the outside top two pair |
