Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6622996, member: 289533"] Preflop is standard to call with a bunch of suited connectors, once we are almost certain that poster from UTG will enter the pot. At these lower limits we are avoiding to call a heads-up pot to play OOP with a broad range, but this seems a god pot odds/implied odds scenario. So, preflop action is okay. The flop comes like a dream to us, this is the reason we call and we could be leading for value, although our hand doesn’t need to much protection, we haven’t flopped the straight nuts and we haven’t the nut flush draw, only a baby flush of clubs draw, which turns our bet for value on the flop always mandatory, to extract value of top pairs, two pairs, sets and even another straight and flush draws. The turn isn’t so good for our range, for now BTN in the first place and UTG could’ve completed a better straight. The queen on the turn is one of the worse cards for our range, but even so we could think about extracting value of Qx now, and we still have implied odds for a baby flush on the river. UTG’s raising is quite fair and large and, as you said, although it could be holding KJ, it also has another hands in its range. But 99, 77, T9s and T7s should’ve bet on the coordinated flop for protection, not checking to see another bigger straight or a flush of clubs to realize in the turn for a free price. On the turn we aren’t expecting a bunch of TT and QQ, and hands such as QT, Q9 and Q7 (?) would’ve taken this particular polarized line? Observe that villain is betting 5 times the value of your bet in a configuration where there are two straights and a flush draw. One thing we know of very passive players: when they do raise we gotta be very smart for their basic instincts is to call most of times. Another thing we must pay utmost attention is to the sizing of his bet: polarization, at the micros, coming from a passive player, most of the times means he has the nuts or what villain believes to be the nuts. The river doesn’t complete anything different, and check fold or check call a small bet seems okay. As played I would have lead the flop and turn, and if passive villain gives me pot odds to continue to seek my flush (in spite of a bunch of reverse implied odds for we own a baby flush draw), I keep calling to the end. This is not the case, when I bet river and passive villain comes to the top of my range betting 5x versus our 3/4 bet, I would be very inclined to fold. I could call from time to time for protection and with a river plan to check fold, unless the pricing gets too low for a river calling. [/QUOTE]
