Post bubble, monster draw

    Default Post bubble, monster draw

    Villain is super tight. He was a massive chip leader for most of the tourney but recently suffered two bad beats. He has something, even with a min raise preflop. Hero's image is (uncharacteristically) loose.

    What's your line here on the flop? Bet small and build a pot? Bet big? Checking behind seems wrong.

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 11 Tournament, 120/240 Blinds (3 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB (t5115)
    Hero (BB) (t4330)
    Button (t4055)

    Hero's M: 12.03

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 6, 4
    1 fold, SB bets t480, Hero calls t240

    Flop: (t960) K, 7, 5 (2 players)
    SB checks

    Hero?

    If Villain is super tight, I am folding this pretty fast preflop. I'd actually rather shove over than call here, even in position.

    As played, my standard line would be to lead out for 650 or so and (obv) call a shove or shove over a less than AI raise. I don't like betting small because you don't (yet) have a monster hand, and I don't really like checking behind either because you'd much rather get it AI on the flop than on the turn, and you lose some fold equity by not betting here.

    Three-handed or heads up, with an M > 10, I tend to call min raises pretty light when I'm in the BB. I would have thrown away 64o, but against a supernit, two low suited cards can stack him when I hit since I have a good feel for his range. What do you think? Too spewy?

    Yep, this is a bit spewy for me. To justify the call I think I'd want something like suited connectors or high suited gappers like J9s or the like rather than a low suited gapper like this.

    i agree with tai, when stacks are this shallow I want a hand that can flop a winning 1-pair hand when you get it in with a combo draw -- T9/J9s+, suited K/A hands....you're not going to flop big enough with 64.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.
