A DOG'S LIFE

[The Baron]

Snoop, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we would really like to hear about the odd individual hand mate.

It's always good to hear when it's one of your own.

[snoopy1239]

There were a couple of interesting ones but I didn't want to bore anyone.

I'll have a look through poker tracker and see what I can dig up from the last few days.

[snoopy1239]

Well, I was gonna post this one the other day to see what you guys felt, but I know some people don't like ploughing through hand histories.

But, seeing as though you asked, here it is. It's primarily about playing sets.

What would you do on this flop?

[The Baron]

Do you have a player profile?

[snoopy1239]

No. I'd only played a few of hands. I think I started with $200.

Also, it's often difficult for me to get profiles on too many players because I multitable.

[Dewi_cool]

I think I would fold,

[The Baron]

Well you are winning but the only way to find out what he has is to check I think. If he bets he may have the overpair but if he checks behind he may just have two high cards.

If he bets you can raise trying to get his whole stack in whilst making him pay if he is playing some kind of draw although this is unlikely.

If he checks behind I would bet whatever the next card was except for if you make a house or quads in which case I would either bet small/weak or maybe even check again. I spose if he checks behind, you really wnt to see an ace for him to catch up.

[snoopy1239]

If he bets, would you just check raise all-in?

[The Baron]

Probably not all in, I'd do the raise $60 - 80 jobbie to try temp the overpair into reraising.

[Wardonkey]

I'm betting out most times on that flop.

If he only has 2 overcards then your not likely to get more than 1 bet off him anyway. If he has an overpair and you check to him then you give away your hand whenever you pull the trigger.

[ifm]

you are miles ahead on this flop, i would definitely be slow playing it to extract some chips.
Though Harrington says you should bet with trips.

[thetank]

Yes, Hoping he's on an overpair and reads me for a draw.

If you flat call a 3,5,8,9,10 or the case 7 landing on the turn might help him make a big laydown to a future bet.

Maybe not raise all-in, I'd try to make a raise that he thinks he can come over the top of if he's a crazy monkey with two overcards.

[The Baron]

$1 $2 NL on Party? 90% wont be laying down an overpair no matter how much you give your hand away. Similarly you may gain one bet from the high cards by checking.

If this was $5 - $10 NL on stars I'd be betting too. Not here though.

I don't want 'some chips', I want them all!
