Message: [QUOTE="dallam, post: 6586964, member: 338743"] Interesting hand. The 4bb UTG bet is not something I dislike at all at a freeroll this early and this deep. Strong hands would just call I believe, but the other premiums which are stronger that our combiantion (AK, AA, KK, QQ) may still put a 3-bet here, so it can put us a direction already. The MP+1 call looks competitive, some pocket pairs or two overs maybe AXs, the button one is much wider and can include all sutied-straight draws in addition. Flop is pretty much an AQs killer. Not only because we are out of position, but it smashes BTN's range perfectly, and sometimes MP+1 as well with flush or set. So I think I'm not wrong to say that all the hands that we expect them to have now have valid outs or beats us. The half pot bet here is too strong, we never we be winners at the showdown, or never reach it, so I'm down to simply check this at 2 players. Guess you wanted to control the party, and represent big pockets. But if you take the time and thinking about villain's eyes, if I hit a set, and villain is strarting to continue his overpair, why should I scare him away with a reraise on the flop after the 4bb open? Why should I reraise on flop with a Ten in my hand or the flushdraw only? * Edited: it could be 3-betted, but calling is still fine, and not weak. On Turn if you not scare away the opponent on the flop with the 1/2 bet, you neither won't on that street, so every chips you put on the line becomes a dead money. The shove suprised me too, but this time I see Sets here to do it, rather than a bluff, since you represented high pairs or flush draw, its a solid way to get the max value or make you fold, but probably you're going to call. You did not show big fold equity so.. I take my guess to a X10 here. So I liked the pre action, that was a good one, but it makes more current if you can balance it with an appropriate post-flop game. This is a dangerous flop, and Q is not a great out for us, the A is maybe a bad one too. In this party, it's just a good timing to let this go on the flop. Good luck. :) [/QUOTE]
