    Default Playing 44

    5c/10c NL Hold'em

    Sitting in UTG I'm dealt

    I limp
    Folded all the way to the SB who raises to 40c
    BB Folds
    I call

    Flop:

    SB Bets 50c
    I raise to $1.50
    SB Calls

    Turn:

    SB Checks
    I bet 60c
    SB Calls

    River:

    SB bets $1
    I call (all in) $1

    *** SB Shows ***

    My question here is the call preflop, is it correct of should I lay it down there.

    @ 6 max, ill limp utg, and play it to an loose bastard, but fold it to a good one. i have position, great implied odds, can play it fast b/c it wont represent a set. but @ big table, i prolly lay this utg.

    and i do fold this to the sb,bb raise most of the time, b/c most off the time theyr decent players. but if hes really weak ill call.

    with small pocket pairs its always best to try and see the flop as cheaply as possible, limping utg is either fine or terrible idea based entirely on the sort of table your at, if theres usually very little PF action then limp away...ifs theeres normally raises and reraises then i'd fold...

    i don't see anything wrong with the play really...unless you know the guys a complete rock theres no reason to give so much credit to his raise...it looks like it could have been a steal attempt anyway, or he might have just had two high cards, so 121 your slightly ahead preflop...you might as well have a look at the flop, and fold if it doesn't look good
    I love him who is ashamed when the dice fall in his favour and who then asks: Am I then a cheat? for he wants to perish.

    I was putting him on a high pp. I figured he'd check raise the turn, I was just teasing him to raise this. I guess it's a retard play, but then again, I'm a retard.

    Given the fold to the SB after your limp, I'd put him on a fairly random hand and call. This looks like more of a steal that even a rock would attempt then a real hand. His bet on the Flop looks to be more of a continuation/information bet then anything. His call on the flop would help me put him on a decent hand, but not QQ. Personally, I would have re-raised on the flop to see if you really had a hand or were just playing back at me.

    Everything else looks fairly normal till the river. The river looks more like he knew you were going all-in and figured he was going to call because he was pot commited so he put the pressure on you and forced you to make the decision incase you really were bluffing...Good play on his part, and of course, good call on yours...

    Going to the turn I'm putting him on TT - QQ, KK or AA is out of the question, Maybe something like KJ or QJ. I know I have the best hand, just how to extract the most money is the question. I ended up getting as much as I could from him.
    Sucks to be him though, with QQ flop rainbow and undercards.

    If QQ is possible, why isnt AA or KK? They would play this the same way...

    and if JJ is possible, then you dont have the best hand........

    I think it really depends on what type of player this guy is, has he been stealing pots? shown strength when called, etc...you may be slightly ahead PF if he is holding 2 big cards, but if a 5 or higher hits the board this hand is toast...


    very nice flop for you, you got what you wanted and had a successful result...

    I agree with the other poster, your turn bet was way too little especially considering there is now a flush and str8 draw available...I would have definitely bet 1/3 - 1/2 the pot minimum, make him pay to see the river...
