Message: [QUOTE="colin_147, post: 386899, member: 3650"] Its always difficult to put your opponent on a particular hand, and watching the betting pattern would normally work well. But with only a couple of hands played at this table, its tough to do that, just as tough as putting your opponent on a hand I think calling here is still not the best move. If he does have AJ, then he still has 5 outs to take down the pot, making him a 4/1 dog but why give him a free card? Raise the dude - and you also get an indication of where you are in the hand Having position in this siuation also makes a big difference. Sure, a slow-play check is a good move when you hold the nuts but with only top pair you gotta be thinking about taking this pot down asap In this situation, it doesnt really matter if you call or raise cos you will be pot commited in either case - and will get called. But with a bigger stack, you could be making some nice plays here [/QUOTE]
