Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6932963, member: 397965"] Preflop Pretty standard iso raise, and sizing looks good as well. Or at least it would be good for an online game. If the normal open raise in this game without limpers is already $20 or more, then you probably want to go bigger to thin the field. Flop Seems like pot is 20BB, so you bet half pot. From a theoretical point of view that is probably a bit to large, but dont think, this is much of an issue in a soft live game, which it must be with 2 players limping. Now BB check-raise, and this is not a fun spot for top pair, when the board is relatively dry like this with no flushdraw and only a few straightdraws, that should not be all that much represented (97 and 75). He should not be calling a 5BB raise with hands like A8 or A6 out of position, but its live poker, so maybe he does it anyway. And of course he can have a set. Still I dont think, you can fold just yet, since maybe he sometimes overplay a hand like AQ or AJ. So I would also call here, but I would not love my spot. Turn When we got check-raised on the flop, we should rarely be betting for value on later streets with just one pair. So here I would be very happy, he checked to you, and check back for some pot control. As played I fold to his jam. A dubble check-raise is a very strong play, and at this point I think, we can rule out overplayed AJ or AQ, unless you know something about this player. Like maybe he was drunk, or you had been battling with him during the session. But I would have prefered to check back and then make a decision on the river. It sucks to fold a hand as strong as TPTK, because it open a bluffing opportunity. But it suck even more to lose your entire stack, when he got lucky and flopped two pair or a set on you. [/QUOTE]
