Spewing with 89s?

Results 1 to 7 of 7

    Default Spewing with 89s?

    Button is 65/0 over 70 hands and BB 25/16 over the same amount. Poster is new to me. Was going for a cheap family pot preflop and Buttons raise was surprising. But I had to call preflop or?

    ON the flop I'm not gonna put this down and the poster raise smells like a fist time on the table bluff. I don't think button is going anywhere with his likely overpair but I thought I could get control of this pot and maybe get free turn. Am I just spewing or ?

    What's MP's aggression rating?

    I think this might be a spew because you still have the pf raiser behind you, and the cold callers came out firing. Your 8 and 9 may not be outs, and you could easily be capped and won't get anything close to a free card.

    Its not really a spew too much at all. If the PFRer folds you've bought yourself a free card, if BB and MP call then you're even money on everything. If the PFRer calls or reraises, you're making money if BB and MP both call as well.

    MP was the poster so didn't have any hands at all on him. But just because he posted I smelled a semibluff raise.

    Button did cap and SB and MP called. Ran pokerstove on it later and I was as Jeff said even money, still feels like I was a bit too aggro.

    IMO, Pretty standard for an OESD or FD.

    Button just can't fold when he knows he's beat. Gotta love it.
