Another Donked Hand by Trons???

**Trons** · 04-07-2006

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) converter

This is a $3 Turbo SnG

Hero (t1665)
UTG (t3495)
MP (t4525)
Button (t3105)
SB (t2210)

Preflop: Hero is BB with

,

.
2 folds, Button raises to t300, 1 fold, Hero calls t150.

Button had been caught raising from the button with anything if folded to him. He had made his stack by pure agression and showed numerous bluffs. I figured at worst I was a coin flip on this and I thought my odds were decent. I had actually thought about reraising, but figured I would see a flop.

Flop: (t675)

,

(2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets t1650, Hero calls t1365 (All-In).

Well, I like this flop. Ragged with me holding TPDK. Button had been very agressive. He had been caught bluffing a bit but also bet 2nd and bottom pair. I was about 75% sure I was ahead but wanted to give him a chance to bluff his chips away. His bet seemed way too big and screamed "I want this hand over now". I thought about the hand and figured he was either completly bluffing or at best had a hand like JT. I figured I was a head and I wouldn't get much better chance to double up before I was blinded out.

Turn: (t3690)

(2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t3690)

(2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t3690

Results in white below:
Hero has JavaScript Qs (two pair, jacks and tens).
Button has Kh 9h (two pair, tens and nines).
Outcome: Hero wins t3405. Button wins t285.

Looks like a great play to me - I would have pushed the flop if he hadn't. Looks to me like you read him well.

I like it, only real threat is being outkicked or him holding a big PP there, which if you have him pinned as a bluffer I wouldn't give much credit for.

I'm guessing with top pair and/or an overpair, the villain wouldn't have pushed has hard as he did on the flop. Nh Trons.

seems alright to me......if he didnt put u in on the flop, id have definently pushed if he bet anything at all

just as a little side note / devils advocate type question....

if i had him pegged as a continual bluffer, i may have pushed pf so i wouldnt have to answer the following question......it may also stop him or at least slow him down from stealing when your blinds get bigger

what do u do if an A or K hits on flop and u know hes gonna have a stab at it regardless of whether he hits or not?

Well played, the only hand I can see beating you here is KJ. More likely Jx which is good.

I'd have done exactly the same and taken my medicine if I got beat.

**Beavis68** · 04-07-2006

I give it a thumbs up!

**Jason75** · 04-10-2006

Hmm . . . given what we know about the button, and given our chip position . . . I have a hard time seeing how I'm not all in here PF.

On the flop, you've got TP good kicker, gotta get all the $ in. I like the check raise attempt (that is really a check call when Mr. Bluffer puts you all in).

**PJ of TheGame** · 04-10-2006

in this situation i don't like pushing preflop... because your opponent will pay you when you hit.

1/3 of the time you win 2k, 2/3 you lose 300. That seems like solid EV to me, where the push you're behind most hands that call you.
