£1-£1 PL hand

[Royal Flush]

Friday night in blackpool i had been removed from the Omaha tournament and found myself in the £50 Holdem game. Evreyone bought in for £50 and they all looked like fish. Except Greek Jack and Barry 'choccy bum' Neville who were both on my imediate right with £100.

They game developed it was a pretty easy table, mugs to my left good players to my right, Barry and Jack were playing good poker, both tight and aggresive, Barry was getting UL Jack was doing well as was i.

I was up to about 500£ when the table fish raised this meant big pair only, she only had about 40 back and myself Barry Jack and a blue square player called. I had

The flop came 

Nice! Mateygirl lead out for pot (1/2 her stack) Barry and Jack folded, i had 2 players still behind me, i raised another £50.

The next player folded then the blue square qualifier counted his money out and min re-raised me! So now back to me £50 to call, he has another £40 back.

He had been quite solid, seen a lot of flops but had shown no real aggresion untill now.

[The Baron]

Hmmm... if the game is that easy then fold.

Better spots with less to worry about will be along soon.

[Nem]

Looks like he has trips.

[Gryff]

Hand analysis:

Fold preflop.

[Newmanseye]

If he has a set I'd be surprised, I'd hardly expect the re raise, you dont want to lose your customer with a set, chances are with set he'd flat call and let you hang yourself.

He may be on a flush draw or maybe  Ace 8, its hard to put him on a hand not seeing what he has shown down so far.

I still think your 2 pair is good here, if its only £90 to put him in I'd do it. if its a wrong move, no problem theres plenty of easy money on the table to pick up more.

Hand analysis:

Fold preflop.

Why do that when the table is full of players who cant fold big starters!

I had already cracked this womans AA when i called her raise with 89 to a see a 882 board she bet pot on all 3 streets when it came J, Q. I had dwelt for a minute before calling the river bet fearing JJ, she then tried to slow roll doing a whole "which do you want to see first" bolox, was quite amusing when i turned over my trips.

[The Baron]

I like the pre flop call vs the rock but another rocky player who has now seen a flop raising you doesn't smell right to me.

If he's raising you it could be he's rocky enough to want the drawing hands out - even if he's holding a set. You said yourself it was a bit fishy.

Wait for a better spot.

[Royal Flush]

Well i passed. Mateyboy took the side pot, it came A 3. Mateygirl took the main pot with 77!!!

He must have had a non-nut fd.

I got stick for ages afterwards.

[The Baron]

If it was THAT fishy I'm sure you killed it afterwards!

[Gamblor21]

He prob had 109 or 97 of spades... I put him allin here, your infront for the game if your beat then use the flushy terminology of NEXT!

[M3boy]

You say its an easy game, and only £90 total to set them all in - and your up £500, to me I call and if they have me beat, I am confident of getting it back anyways.

[weedgie]

m3 boy  got it spot on theyre

[Wrigley]

I don't think it's that good to call pre-flop with 84s even thought the table is full of players that can't let go of big starters. The original raiser has 40 big blinds and I really think that's way shallow to call with 84s.

[JP]

84 suited owns

[geeforce1]

i agree with m3. a little passive post flop for me given relative stacks. ur playing 84 to catch ppl who cant put their big pp's down, flop just about as big a hand as you can expect, invest more £, then fold??!

i also agree with wrig, that the stacks r not deep enough to make the call pre
