The Itty Bitty Nitty Committee

Bodog 100NL. Hero is in BB with Limped around and Hero checks. Pot = $4

Flop----------SB checks, Hero bets $3, MP calls, SB raises to $15.25. Hero calls, MP folds. Pot=$37.50

Turn---------SB bets $46.50, Hero folds.

Insufferably nitty? Effective stacks were 140BB. Dunno, I guess I just didn't feel like stacking off with low two pair at the end of a profitable session. Do you push the turn bet here or what? No good reads on villain, incidentally.

QT is a real possibilty, you know fish like these sorts of hands.
I wouldnt stack off here with that hand.

It might sound weak-tight, but I think we should decide to either dump it or play for stacks on the flop. That $15 raises is a biggie.

I had a similar hand the other day (this is at a UB no max buyin table) that went like this against thinking Loose-aggressive/passive guy. He would raise almost anything before the flop, and then look to hit a huge hand and clean up.

About 15 minutes before this, he raised with 980 in early position. I raised with pocket 10's and he called (as did one blind). Flop came 7TJ with two spades. He checks, I bet, short guy calls all in, villain check raises hard. I push and lose to his straight.

No showdown. UTG wins $185.

I felt it just wasn't worth playing the pot against him here against his big check-raise, even though I may well have been ahead of his lower pair/combo draw and had position on him. I knew if I called here, I'd be put all in on the turn, just like what happened to you in this hand.

I can't see dumping w/ two pair on the flop and position. For one thing, if we spike a ten or six on the turn we're almost certainly destacking villain. It seemed worth calling for that reason, plus to see what he'd do on the turn.
