About LinkBackssingle table 6-max SnG, we're 5-handed. blinds are 25/50
Villain (UTG) has 1305 chips
Hero (Button) has 1510
I'm on the button with:
:
after blinds post, Villain min raises to 100
CO folds, I call, SB folds, BB folds.
Flop is:
:
:
Villain bets 275
Hero: ???
Im pretty sure re-raise is in order here, so I guess what i'm asking is what a proper bet size would be, or maybe even a push (considering my stack size)?
I dont know the exact stats but Villain is a typical call/fold type, almost never raises (like i'd say he's around 45/5 maybe less than 45 but a lot of calls), but when he does its always a min raise. i could see him min raising with A6 here possibly, but I think he would have called with that hand...he'd probably have raised 66 here, but that's just one hand.

I would min raise and see if he just calls it. If he reraises i would be hard pushed to call him.

Nope. If you and he had stacks of like 2500*, then calling preflop is fine. As played, effective stacks are 1305 and most of the time you'll flop nothing and fold. Also, if he's only raising 5% of his hands, AK and maybe AQ are all that you beat. Originally Posted by theonejanitor

After a raise, you only want to be playing strong hands. If he didn't raise, then it would be perfectly acceptable to raise with your JTs. But calling a raise (or re-raising) with JTs at this stage isn't a good play. Originally Posted by theonejanitor

So you're in for $100, you want to give him $550 more then fold after spewing 1/3 of our chips on what is marginially a marginal hand (post I wouldnt even call this marginal) Originally Posted by StraightotheAce

There are a few flops you really like with TJs, but this is not one of themLast edited by Pinguaq; 10-17-2008 at 10:31 PM.
