Postby Zwheito » Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:11 am

Solid TAG (23/13/4) UTG raises to 8, donk in CO calls, hero raises to 31 with [Ah] [Ad] .
UTG Calls, CO folds.
Effective stacks are 430$.

Flop: (pot=73) [6c] [4s] [2h]
UTG bets 60, hero calls

Turn (pot=193) [9s]
UTG bets 120, hero calls

River (pot 433) [8h]
UTG goes all in for 220, hero calls

Thoughts?

Looks like you are against a set, unless you have a very crazy image. You are too deep for a good TAG to overplay KK here.

I am not sure about a better line here. Folding turn seems to be good though.
May be you should have called preflop because of being so deep.

It looks like pocket pair , probably nines. But at the same time it could be jacks or tens too, since he didn't reraise you pre. Why not reraise the flop though? You were thinking of lettimg hang himself or what? Do u reraise light usually so he can't really put u on a big pair and think his medium pair is good there?

Looks an awful lot like a set to me. His turn and river bets were easy to call. He's not trying to push you out, but he's saying he wants to play for a double stack against someone who reraised preflop and pretty clearly has a big pair.

I'm guessing he has 99 here. The big flop bet as a test to see if you have the overpair, then easy to call bets for the rest of your double stack when he knows he's good.

I raise the flop here for sure. I want to find out where I stand right away and put him to the test. If he folds you still win $91 of his money, almost half a stack. That's terrific for AA unimproved. I gave up trying to stack solid players (let alone a double stack!) when all I have is a pair, unless I get well over 10% of my stack in preflop and can shove by the turn. I just don't think you'll see TT-KK here often enough to make this profitable. I think KK usually repops preflop and solid players never stack off here with JJ-TT.

Thanks for all the opinions.

In the hand I'm actually the solid (cough, cough) TAG UTG. The villain is also a TAG running at 24/10/2.5.

I had [6s] [6h] .

After the reraise I was pretty sure he had a big pair because I couldn't remember him reraising me before (I normally don't call that big a reraise OOP with a PP, but stacksizes and no previous reraises made an easy call).

I think the way I played it is the best way to get a big pair all in.

The reason I posted the hand the way I did was that I wasn't really sure how I would play it if I was the CO with AA. One really should not lose a double stack to a TAG with an unimproved AA, but where do you fold? I can definetly see myself getting trapped here.

I think I'm with the people who say to call the flop and fold the turn. With 100BB stacks I would raise the flop (and stack off), but doblestacked I think it makes the pot to big, making it impossible to get away (like UA said).

I really don't think many solid TAGs play the turn and the river that hard with JJ, QQ, KK (like zmej said) and not to many people are willing to make 200 BB bluffs.
