Two sets and action, 200NL

Postby Smokin'Al » Thu May 12, 2005 3:20 pm

Should I stay or should I go, times two!

Both 200NL 6-handed,

Hand 1:

2 limpers, I have [6c][6h] in the BB. Flop is [6c][9c][Td], $7 pot. I lead for $5, fishy EP raises to $50, button folds. Fishy EP has $22 left after the raise. Fishy EP has been aggressive, but no specific reads.

Fight or flight?

[EDIT: I had [6s][6h]. Well spotted!]

Hand 2:

4 limpers, I have [8c][8d] in the BB. Flop is [8h][9c][Qh], $8 flop. SB leads for $10, I raise to $30 (leaving me with $181, SB has me covered), all fold to SB who reraises to $100.

SB seems pretty solid, sLA-A.

In or out?

Any thoughts on my flop raise in hand 2?

Hand 1: sounds like he hit top 2 pair, I'd push the rest

Hand 2: I don't think he would lead with the straight, I'd be pretty convinced that you have the best hand here. I could see something like KQ or QT, I would go for it here as well.

Results?

Hand 1: wow, two [6c]s in one hand! Impressive! Push because fishies are fishies and he could well have top two pair or worse.

Hand 2: Could be a semibluff with AKh or something. I don't think he's overbetting the pot on the flop with the nut straight, but he sure might have a higher set and be trying to push out draws. But would the SB really just complete with QQ? Probably not. So only 99 beats you, and you're ahead of the flush draw, two pair hands. And you have a chance to suck out if he has the straight. So, um, I guess I'm in.

I hate laying down sets, is what it comes down to. It would be a leak in my game, maybe, except that I get them so rarely. :)

Hand 1- i'm all in. That raise seems to mean to scare draw and sounds of T9 to me. The only hands to fear is 99 and TT because you got outs against the straight or the flush draw.

Hand 2 - i'm don't know but part of me wants to fold as calling can't be the right move. Its all in or fold. he didn't go all in which is what lags would like to do so it seems like he trying to get you committed so I'm thinking JT. Pot is about 150 and its 70 to call so you are getting 2:1 but calling it still too weak. Rasing would make it 330 in the pot with 110 to call for him giving him 3:1 so you know he's gonna call. its a toss up to me.

#1 is a definate all in

#2 is a bit trickier. Sets are gold in NL. You could sit there and fold everything except pairs and wait for sets and still make a profit. This one however gives me a bad feeling. Im leaning towards laying it down, but its very player dependant. If hes fishy at all then Ill go all the way with it, but if hes a good player I can see folding it.

I do like the flop raise. I mightve made it a tad higher.
