  1. #1

    Default Microstakes: 99 in the SB

    Whats the typical line to take here at these stakes? Ive got so many outs its not funny but i'm not sure how to play it

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    saw flop|saw showdown

    Button ($5.81)
    Hero ($6.35)
    BB ($5.75)
    UTG ($5.74)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 9, 9.
    UTG calls $0.05, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.25, BB calls $0.20, UTG calls $0.20.

    Flop: ($0.75) K, J, T (3 players)
    Hero bets $0.75, BB calls $0.75, UTG raises to $1.5, Hero ???

    And how many of your outs are likely good? Easy fold I think.

    You are behind As or Qs, you have a gutshot straight draw to an idiot end straight, which is to all intents and purposes worthless since any ace - the most likely holding of any of your opponents - beats you; you have 2 outs to a set which may already be behind a made flush or straight. I would say you're basically drawing dead.

    Well i kinda got blinded by "OMG STRAIGHT FLUSH DRAW!!1!" and pushed and villain called. I didnt improve and he turned over J10os, which riled me a little, hence me posting the hand.

    Seems like a fold was the obvious thing to do though it never crossed my mind

    easy fold, your not beating anything, and even if you hit a straight flush it would be tainted because the As beats you.
