Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6696166, member: 305911"] Pre: Not sure what else there is to do here than call based on buttons range is wide. I agree with you that its not a jam hand and it is a good hand so to see a flop with so its a call as you did. You did not mention the SB stack in this hand as they could/should affect buttons opening range as to whether they have SB covered or not but if SB is your stack or a little larger (say 15-20BBs) then I think buttons range is very wide. If SB were very short and was a jam stack then Button might open here a little tighter knowing they will have to call a lot of 6-7BB jams off which is 20% ish of their stack. Flop. We have top pair with 12 BBs so I am not folding here so its all about best way to get the chips in and hopefully get called. Its definitely a check to the raiser as you did but then we get to an interesting decision spot here with their sizing. If they had bet 2.5 BBs or something near it I think its a simple check jam. With their bet sizing being so low though I would take a higher variance approach (to try to get some chips out of this since we are so low) and check raise here to 4 or 4.5 BBs. Better chance of being called yes and getting sucked out on but I will take that chance with top pair but only starting the hand with 12 BBs. Then my plan on the turn with action first on us would be to jam any card that comes as I am in this hand now to the end by raising so even if it were A, K, or Q I would be jamming turn. I dont hate at all (Think its a good move) to just check jam flop but I think with our stack its okay to take some risk and get more calls by going the check raise route rather than check jam. Either way though, you cant just call this on the flop with top pair. You should be already mentally committed to this pot so it should be either a jam flop or getting it on the turn type hand. Turn: as played after just calling flop I think you do lead here. I dont have a lot of leads in my game (and wouldnt have here since flop play would have been different) but these spots that come up where a check behind is really really bad for us we just need to put a bet out there and if they fold they fold. We shouldnt be afraid (actually would applaud it) of a raise to our lead so if I got to this point in the hand I would just lead here and see what happens. River: As played this is an interesting spot and not sure I know what to do as again I would not be at this point but I think I would lead here with top pair. Maybe villain (being wide) has some 3x, 5x, 7x, 4x hand that as this was played could call it off. Wouldnt call a jam with that hand but you could bet half pot ish or something instead of a check back that those hands would do often. Yes they can have 6x but there are enough hands in my opinion that will/could call that are worse that if you check will check back. They didnt bluff the turn when they could have so I am not that sure they bluff river if we gave them the chance. You did lead here, which I agree with, and got jammed on which is probably not good for us lol but at this point its a no brainer call with the chips we have already in the middle, starting with 12 BBs and having top pair.
