Limp/calling with KJs in position

Postby Stoneburg » Tue Jul 12, 2005 11:19 am

I've got a slightly larger than buy in stack, oldman is a shorty with only $3.90, Morpheus at $6 and river_turn at ~$18.

baldealing : Folds
kera : Calls for 0.20
river_turn : Calls for 0.20
slimking : Calls for 0.20
Stoneburg : Calls for 0.20 [Kc] [Jc]
Sto82 : Folds
Wil008 : Folds
Morpheus10 : Raises for 0.60
oldman32 : Calls for 0.50
kera : Folds
river_turn : Calls for 0.50
slimking : Calls for 0.50
Stoneburg : Calls for 0.50

Junk hand, but Morpheus just lost a big pot and is probablt a bit tilted, and I have position.

Flop $3.70 [5c] [3h] [2d]
------------------
Morpheus10 : Checks
oldman32 : Checks
river_turn : Bets 0.20
slimking : Folds
Stoneburg : Calls for 0.20
Morpheus10 : Calls for 0.20
oldman32 : Calls for 0.20

Wahay! Dynamite flop for me, with both a backdoor flush draw and two over.cards. Well, maybe not dynamite but I figure it's worth 1/20 of the pot to see the turn. The bettor is a bit bluffy, oldman is very predictable and a bad player, seems like he only looks at his own cards and doesn't know what a kicker is. I guess Morpheus could check-raise but I figure he would just bet out if he had something or wanted to bluff, anyway, it's only $0.20.

Turn $4.50 [Kd]
------------------
Morpheus10 : Checks
oldman32 : Bets 0.60
river_turn : Folds
Stoneburg : Raises for 2.40
Morpheus10 : Folds
oldman32 : Went all-in 2.40
Stoneburg : Calls for 0.60

Here I am just thinking that Morpheus doesn't have anything, and a shortstack who doesn't understand kickers just bet at my Top Pair medium-kicker... I'm re-raising slightly under his stack size to trap morpheus if he's in a "whatever, I might as well call" but more in order to let oldman push in his own stack (people seem to prefer pushing the last chips instead of calling them off).


Really junky hand, but considering the context, did I play it right?
