52s in a family pot

Postby Stoneburg » Fri Jul 22, 2005 7:41 pm

$20 Pot-Limit table on Prima. Loose as usual, 2 aggressive players, rest passive. No real read on opponent. I have $25, he has me covered.

I pick up [5s] [2s] in the BB. 7 limpers to me, I check.

Flop is [Ah] [3s] [8c], pot is $1.60.

UTG checks, UTG+1 bets $0.80. Everyone folds to me... do I call?l

no, all you got is a gutshot out of position. Just fold and move on.

I chase these down for min bets, or with really deep stacks I look to see if the turn brings a spade. I don't play these gutshot runner runner draws for half pot typically unless I have a real reason too. A real reason is that I know for a fact that I can stack this opponent easily and I can get better than 10:1 on the loose call i'm making now.

Well turn was the [4c] giving me the nut straight. I check-raised the maximum, he re-raised and I moved all-in. He called with AA top set and failed to improve, I doubled up.

When he bets into a multiway pot I figure him for a big Ace or two-pair. With my hand being so extremely disguised I figure I will stack him if I hit so the implied odds are great. I did feel really dirty after cracking AA with 52s though... he took it pretty well, none of the normal cursing, so I was nice and told him he did the right thing.

I have to tell you though, it feels a lot better to be on the winning side of these dirty hands. :wink:

i would feel dirty. The only reason to call that flop bet is if you KNEW you could stack him.

Well the average microlimit player WILL die with his Ace and I had him on a big Ace, so I was fairly sure he wouldn't fold. But yeah, I'm a dirty nasty little gut-shot chaser... :(
