Getting back in the groove

[Liam^]

Been a while!

Interested in the preflop play for now, ideas of what the opposition may have.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

BB ($17.25)
UTG ($35.35)
MP ($40.70)
Hero ($24.05)
Button ($15.25)
SB ($40.75)

Preflop: Hero is CO with , .
1 fold, MP calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1, 2 folds, BB calls $0.75, MP raises to $2, Hero calls $1, BB calls $1.

raise more...like 1.25. otherwise, fine.

I personally fold here. I'd put MP on JJ+, AK.

open fold or to the raise?

Why? At the time I didn't really go in depth about the odds, but I like them looking back it again.

[Ravageur]

At these stakes I've seen so many ppl minraise pf with such random stuff (as well as big pairs) that although I think we should proceed with caution I think their range definitely is wider than you would think.

You have to call this minraise PF IMO (knowing that BB is overcalling 99% of time and you are 100 BBs deep with MP)

Then let us proceed.

Flop: ($6.10) J, 5, K (3 players)
BB checks, MP checks, Hero ??

[daven]

check behind. This flop hits a lot of hands hard and a check-raise would make you wanna cry. Nice to see a free card when you are weak but drawing to the nuts.

open fold or to the raise?

Woops, to the raise.

I think this is time for a free card. Daven makes a good point about a check-raise making you want to cry but I'd say the same of a check-call. We need to keep the pot as small as possible and I don't think anyone's folding nearly enough to make a semibluff close to profitable.


Hyper, am I a nit?
