Table is loose as usual. I'm the big stack, have everyone covered. Villain has about $26 and I have no read on him.

I'm in SB with . 3 people fold and 5 people limp. I raise it up to $2.10 to limit the field. Villain in MP calls and one player in LP calls as well.

Pott is $7.10 and flop comes Q97 rainbow. I bet $4.20, Villain calls, LP folds.

Pot is $15.50 Turn is putting two clubs on the board, I bet $8.40, Villain calls.

Pot is $32.30 River is pairing the board, I check, Villain goes all-in for $10.98.

I think you have to call. Youre getting 4:1 on you money. He will push all in with all kinds of hands after you check to him. You might lose this but you will win way more than 1 time out of 4 which makes it a call.

Most people would raise the flop or turn if they had a set. If he has a 9, you lose of course, but I think its much more likely that he has a Q.

I think I would've bet 7 at the flop. It smells like he's calling you down with a queen, or possibly 10J, can't really see anything else unless he's slow playing trips (or aces for some reason), but without him playing back at you, it's too hard to tell. If he has a nine, well that just sucks. At any cost, I think I would have put him in on the river, if not the turn.

You could put him in on the river, but a check isnt bad as long as your going to call HIS all in.

He will push all in with alot more hands than he would call all in with. JT or some sort of pair and club draw come to mind.

is a good river card for you. you're really only beat by 77. call instantly. i would expect you're good here 80% or so against a bad opponent.

i would bet more on the flop and turn though.

Well I did check with the intent of calling, figuring he'd only bet trips or better, or bluff with a missed draw. I expected to see 77 or JT and was quite surprised when he turned over a very oddly played KJo.

Perfecto! If you put him in on the river, you can bet your last dollar that hes not calling with KJ.

This is a fairly advanced concept that very few people take advantage of. Its very easy to see the reasoning when your sitting here analyzing the hand, but rarely do you see people make this play in the heat of battle.
