Pocket Tens

[snickers99]

No stats on villain (as usual), although he seems to play a lot of hands. For what it's worth...12 hands, 66/42/5. Full ring table, but we're seven handed right now.

BTW, this isn't a very exciting hand, but I thought I'd post it.

BB ($4.75)
UTG ($14.70)
MP1 ($6.20)
MP2 ($10.65)
CO ($9.40)
Hero ($10)
SB ($5.75)

Preflop: Hero is Button with , .
1 fold, MP1 raises to $0.3, 2 folds, Hero???

BTW, I usually don't have stats on villains because I don't play a lot so I usually don't end up with a lot of stats on one person.

Call or raise is fine.

[labatsman]

Don't mind the call here, it's what I would do...You still got position.

[snickers99]

Oh, good. Thought everybody was going to say re-raise. With me trying to be more aggressive, I thought I missed a chance.

Preflop: Hero is Button with , .
1 fold, MP1 raises to $0.3, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.30, 2 folds.

Flop: ($0.75) , , (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero???

Just bet, $.60 is fine. You have to make him pay to draw to overcards.

As for preflop, reraise would be more appropriate if his stack were larger. However, with position and his short(ish) stack you don't want to build it too big preflop.

If you were both playing at least 80 BB, reraising would be my standard line.

[ugignadl]

Action flop, you have to bet. 0.5 min.

[mewsiclovr]

I would call sometimes and raise sometimes preflop. As played, easiest bet in the world, 50 cents.

[snickers99]

OK, OK...so far so good....

Flop: ($0.75) , , (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $0.5, MP1 raises to $1, Hero???

Raise to $3? Might be a flush draw. If he re-raised you can't really beat anything except 88 or 99 and you're only marginally ahead of AK AQ, etc of clubs.

[ugignadl]

Call and raise turn or raise here, again it doesn't make much difference.

[neverthink]

I'd just say preflop on the button raising is good, what I usually do. In the blinds I often just call unless someone is getting out of line or something. Bet the flop and just call his raise. Call his turn bet as well, he'll mostly give up on the river if he's bluffing, and if he bets, then thats a tough spot. I don't like reraising or raising anywhere in the hand really because he could be doing this with AA or something bigger than you, or you fold out all of his bluffs which is bad. Just call down reasonable bets. Call the turn no matter what card hits.

Flop: ($0.75) , , (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $0.5, MP1 raises to $1, Hero calls $0.50.

I'm getting better, but my first thought is always OMG, he's got a monster. But I think in this case, there's a decent chance he's got a higher pocket pair/2 overs on me.

Turn: ($2.75) (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero???

[mewsiclovr]

I'd bet 1.50-1.75, charge for his overs and/or flush draw. If he minraises, I'd call and check behind on the river. If he just calls, I'd probably just check as well unless it's a T.

[ugignadl]

Bet mmm, $2.
