Pocket 10's

Postby slaz13 » Wed Jun 01, 2005 4:15 pm

$50 NL on Pokerroom. I have a full stack, and CO has about $100. I was paying mulitple tables, so not much read on him, although when I sat down he only had about $30, so he is not always playing with a full stack.

I am in BB with 10 10. 3 limpers, and the SB completes, I check.

Flops is A Q 10 rainbow. SB bets .50, I decided to just call and go for the check raise. The two limpers call, and the CO raises $2. SB calls, and I raise to $10. 2 folds, and CO raises to $18, SB folds. I go all in, and CO calls.

Comments on my play?









He had KJ, but the case 10 hit on the river :)

If you were sure someone will raise the hand, I think you played it fine... If not, I probably would've raised, as you gotta think someones got a piece of that flop they don't wanna let go of... I would've pushed also... I think the times he has KJ and you don't hit are gonna be offset by the (more often) times they're playing AK-A10 and you'll get their stack...

I don't really like this. KJ essentially put you all-in as favorite. What I think one really needs to look at is BEING the favorite when the chips go flying. If you then lose the money, I think you still essentially won the hand. So, in this case, I think KJ outplayed you.

I also don't like checkraising sets as a general rule, even on this kind of coordinated board, where it's not at all unlikely that someone has the nut straight (could also be AQ, too, or AT).

I think I would have raised on the flop immediately to about $3, called any reasonable raise from CO, then checked the turn to him unless I'd improved. I actually think he'll let you see the river for fairly cheap because he's trying to milk his nut hand, thus allowing himself to be outdrawn.

This was an unraised pot, why wouldn't the CO have KJ there? If there was a raise, I would think there's a better chance he has AQ for 2 pair. When there's an obvious hand that beats you, I would slow down and only force the issue if I improve. There are enough cases when you have a set with a less coordinated board, and you can be very aggressive.
