Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6106259, member: 305911"] I'll start that I am unfamiliar with how bomb pots work so if Im missing something from that maybe it changes how I would play but I'll give my opinion as if it were a regular table. I think you should be 4 betting pre there since calling is going to do what it did and that is attract a lot of players to be in the pot. I would be almost certain that UTG +1 is calling if we call due to price and on top of that others behind would probably know that as well and try to get a price. My opinion on this might change if I knew something about hi jack villain but I am not sure that we do or not so I like 4 betting here and more than likely getting the hand heads up with hi jack in position with a hand we like. The flop is weird because UTG+1 donk leads for 3/4ths pot but in this scenario I would be very happy they did so. To me, they are never doing this with JJ or 1010 since why would they try to get a fold with a set (with you I also doubt KK+)? Possibly they think hijack or you have QQ+ and are never folding but why wouldnt they just wait for that player to bet and then either call or check raise? My thinking is they specifically have AJ here and possibly KJ (which is loose but possible) and try to lead to take it down now. I also like that they did this because if my read is right then we have a built in set blocker to the J. The button is who I would be more worried about as JJ or 1010 is possible for them and a hand like 98 is possible (we block KQ so I discount that). In thinking that I am way ahead of UTG+1 and a little less worried about a set or KK+ from button I would just call here as you did and plan to get it all in on the turn one way or another. The turn is a bad card in a sense because 98 suited is a hand I think button could call behind with. I wouldnt be worried about it enough though to alter from my plan on the flop which was to get it in here. If my math is right we have about $1.40 left and pot is over $2 so I believe your jam is correct. If they have nothing and fold then you werent getting anymore anyway. UTG+1 with their check is either giving up or checking with the nuts which I doubt they have 98 so if they have a strong hand they would have had it on the flop as well and that lead makes no sense with super strong hand. All in all, besides 4 betting pre I think you played this hand well and did what I would have done post flop. To me, we are not checking that turn and what bet size could we make that makes sense? Betting even 1/3rd pot there is half your stack so you might as well get it in there. [/QUOTE]
