$16-AJ facing a big bet
by bobcorn » Thu Jan 12, 2006 8:00 pm
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx
MP2 (t1310)
CO (t1330)
Hero (t1425)
SB (t3285)
BB (t3010)
UTG (t1660)
MP1 (t1480)
Preflop: Hero is Button with A:club:, J:spade:.
UTG calls t30, 3 folds, Hero calls t30, 1 fold, BB checks.
Flop: (t105) A:heart:, 3:club:, 7:spade: (3 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets t100, BB calls t100, UTG folds.
Turn: (t305) 6:heart: (2 players)
BB bets t300, Hero??? Hero folds.
Final Pot: t605
Normally I would fold this but BB had been in a ton of hands so far. I am 99% sure he doesn't have AK or AQ because he was very aggressive preflop. I'm also pretty sure he didn't flop 2 pair because I had seen him check-raise with it earlier.
On the turn it looks like he made 2 pair but so far he had bet small with strong hands or c/r'ed. He could have thought I was just betting position on the flop and now has decided to push me out on the turn with a big bet. Should I push here? Flat-call? Fold?

I see people make this move when they suspect you were on a position bluff.
Options:
Fold. Its early. Its an unraised pot. Your holding is marginal.
Call. He may be semi-bluffing flush draw or have nothing much at all. You can flat-call and evaluate on the river. Protects you somewhat if he made his hand.
Raise min amount. Will snap off a bluff or a weak mid pair. Possible lets you get away from hand with 50% of chips if he moves all in.
Raise big. Ends the hand right there for somebody.
I'm leaning towards min raise ???

I would fold here. You are probably beat. Whether to a straight or perhaps to two pair or even out kicked. He may have slow played you and been scared by the possible straight/flush draw and fired out to push you off a possible draw.

Also, it's early in the tourney.
Amen...It's an unraised pot, early in the tourney and you only have TPGK. You took your shot and he fought back...let it go.
