Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6783202, member: 397965"] Preflop Against a BTN minraise I guess, you could throw in A9o as a light 3-bet now and then, but calling is certainly also +EV. Flop Dont see any reason to do anything other then check-call with a hand like this, which is either way ahead or way behind. Turn Now you have the second nuts and only lose to 1 combo of TT. Given that he bet so small, I think, its fine to check-raise. You are mainly hoping, he has TX and cant fold the obvious second best boat. Some would bring out the Zeebo theorem here and say, you should raise bigger. But on a dubble paired board I dont think, that theorem really holds true anymore, and especially not when the top card is an A. Even a beginner will understand, that you could have an A and might be able to fold a T, if you try to go for stacks or something. River Given what I said on the turn, around half pot is perfect here. You are still hoping to get called by a T, who just cant let go of a full house, even its the very obvious second best one. Now however he jam, and this is a pretty big overbet of more than 2 times the size of the pot. This spot suck, and even more so, when you are 155BB deep. You now also lose to AQ and to the royal flush with KJ of hearts, so a total of 5 fat value combos, which have you beat. I dont think, this is ever a hand worse than yours, so in reality you are calling for a chop. Given the pot odds you need 40% equity to call, which mean, you need to chop 80% of the time. And while he has more than 20 combos of AX in his range, I dont think, AX always play like this. From his perspective he now also need to worry about you potentially having one of those 5 nut combos, which beat AX. So for him to overbet jam AX is essentially turning it into a bluff to try to get you off a chop. And giving himself terrible pot odds to do so. In top of that there is also rake taken out of the pot. So in reality you need to chop 83% of the time or something to just break even. So I think, I puke and fold here. But if you called it off and lost, I would not beat myself up over it either. It is 2NL, and sometimes people do weird things. So there is also an argument for not making nitty folds and simply chuck it up to a cooler, if he has one of those 5 combos, you lose to. But my preferred desicion is to fold. [/QUOTE]
