Tight Poker

erf probably should have bet more on the turn but I weighed letting villian chasing a draw against getting him to call with a weaker ace, will post results later. No real reads but its pacific so guessing he sucks.

What, QT? 33, 66?

This looks fine to me.

I'm curious, with herc posting his BB out of position, why not raise more UTG, since you're looking at three blinds worth $5?

I'm thinking ~$12-14 (based on the circumstances), is this too much?

Anyhow, he's certainly played it passive thus far and I can't see what he might have that beats you. I think you played it fine and you'd hope a weaker two pair, or weak ace is going to call you.

[neverthink]

I hate this kind of position, I was in it the other day with 2 others on the river with TPTK OOP being called all the way. By the river, the pot was 120 and I had 60 left so I was calling any reasonable bet anyway and that would presumably put me all in, so I bet it instead of check/calling. Unfortunately for me, a really passive guy had trip twos, and didnt even raise the river with one guy left to act who covered him, after I went all in. All that calling is quite disconcerting, but, given the pot size, I couldn't fold, so its best to bet. Bad luck if it's trips, and if you rivered a better two pair, then he deserves it.

In position, I may consider checking that down if checked to me, if I feared trips enough, but OOP, you have to bet. Hate those passive trip set miner types.

I might c/c riv just because there's a lot of possible draws that might have missed that might bluff if checked to. That's about it though, looks good.

ok well he had J3 of spades and called my all in bet?!?!

I think the main reason I found this hand interesting is that I think he would have folded if I had bet like 50 which looks like a value bet whereas a push gets looked up by someone with 3rd pair no kicker.

I am starting to push a lot more hands, giving up a bit of value in the hopes that someone looks me up and I get their whole stack, so far it is working out well

Seriously? I wonder if this would work on the pp NL200 people.

[goofyballer]

Um, J3 beats you on that board, was it J4/J2?

rly? AAKKJ > JJ33A

didn't realise he had 2 pair until i reviewed the hand history,

Pacific is a completely different beast to Party in my experience, the check minraise flop is the most popular move on this site, makes it easy to get away from your hand when you pay attention (which i sometimes don't do, minraises make me mad!!!!) lol

[mrhat187]

If draws miss on the turn think I bet 80 in that pot. But I hate giving out draws .

[goofyballer]

Oh, you have two pair! Thought you just had TPTK. I guess that makes betting a little easier since one possible combination for him (weak ace/rag two pair combos) that I thought beat you doesn't anymore.

But yeah, I guess I was responding to what you said about "third pair no kicker", when in fact he'll probably always look you up there with two pair.
