Title: Pocket deuces in live cash game
Post by: bergeroo on October 06, 2016, 10:51:42 AM
Cash game in Berlin. The blinds are 2/2 euros with a max buy in of 500. The casino is opening especially early when the poker festival is on, so this is the first game of the day. We started 4 handed and have been playing for 30 minutes. No large pots at all so far. I've managed to be quite aggressive a couple of times and taken posts down postflop with draws/bluffs which I didn't show.

Lojack (500) opens to 12. He is a hipstery looking guy with a cloth cap and a goatee. He has played few pots so far and I don't think we played together before. Interestingly his chips are in 3x100s and mostly the rest in 20s, wheras the rest of the table has the standard stacks of 10s and 2s.

I have pocket deuces in the cut off and I flat call, I have a stack of 370. This seems pretty standard.

The blinds fold.

Flop (pot 28)
258 rainbow
Hipster guy checks and I elect to check back. It is a pretty dry board and although he might check call one street with ace high, I'd rather let him hit something.

Turn (pot28) - the turn is an offsuit king
258K
He now bets 18. I elect to raise to 46. Thoughts? I think I can call or I can raise, but if I raise I think I need to make it bigger. Personally I think a raise is best.

River (pot 120) - the river is another king
258kk
He now checks to me and I elect to bet the full pot. I bet 120. I want to get paid the maximum from a king.

Interestingly he asks how much I have in my stack behind which is now a bit messy looking after two bets. In tournaments I would usually not answer this. But I cut my chips out and stack them and said 'about 200' (perhaps this is a tell from me)

Well I got action because he now check raises me all in!

I have a full house, but it is the worst full house.

Snap call? Hero fold?

What's my move? What other info would you need to know to factor into your decision?

Call for sure. He should value jam worse.

Flop is a very clear bet, I doubt he will c/f this texture and may even c/r worse for value.

Call on the river - and defo bet the flop.

Ott raise larger.

If he has you beat, that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

Otr, a normal sized value bet would be good, if you want to go big I'd overbet the pot Versus betting pot.

Excuse the cookie crumbles mention I've had a few beers:p

results. I decided that he could take this like with AK, so I couldn't fold. I called.

Somewhat mystifyingly he turned over pocket aces...

Yeh don't fold full houses in live loker. I've tried that magic and experienced the pain of them showing me too pairs, under pairs, over pairs and absolutely nothing. Haha
