Message: [QUOTE="Jesus Lederer, post: 366970, member: 3283"] AT UTG at a 9 players table in my opinion is a clear fold. They can have potencial to what? If you´re hoping to hit a straight or a boat you need to get huge pot odds to call, because your hand odds are low. If you are hoping to hit an A, then you can have kicker problems and lose a huge pot if you don´t realize that your hand is weak. Of course you have to play according to the opponent, but if you´re UTG you don´t have any information about the next 8 players´s hands at the table. If you put your opponent on AK or AQ based on the information you got preflop, then why did you call there with AT? The limp UTG with AT was bad, but calling the raise "knowing" that you were huge underdog is just incomprehensible (does that word exists?). Remember you have to think what do you expect when you make a move. If you were completely sure that your opponent had AK or AQ, then fold preflop. If after the flop you still put your opponent on those hands, then check-fold if you don´t improve your hand. Well, so you weren´t completely sure that he had AK or AQ. Then, you should had bet in the flop to realize if he really had those hands or not, and to keep away possible chasers. The question would be so why? There isn´t any good reason to think that if you missed the flop with the same hand, you would hit it at the third. BTW i don´t understand what has your answer to do with the question. You didn´t explain what did you expect by betting 1/10th of the pot. A check would have been the same or you could bet more to realize where you were standing (a move that you should have done in the flop). At this point your hand is a medium strength one. Remember that you don´t have to bet with medium strength hands in the river. See the reasons [URL="https://www.cardschat.com/showthread.php?t=62137"]here[/URL] in point 1. Preflop i put Balius on JJ, QQ, KK or AA and Cheddy on something like AK or maybe low pair. After the flop i have no more additional information, so i only can think on Balius slowplaying and Cheddy afraid of overcards or slowplaying. In the turn the calls were exactly the same as if they would have checked, so now i could think of Balius in a draw or also a weak pocket pair like Cheddy, or just he kept slowplaying. In the river when Balius reraised you i can think on him holding a set, trusting in my first preflop raise probably a set of Js (a big raise preflop generally means a pocket pair like Js). [/QUOTE]
