  • Pair + Flush Draw on flop

    Posted by arw on December 9, 2021 at 8:30 pm

    20th minute of the home game. Effective is 55 bb or ~3000 chips.

    25/50

    MP limps, I call in sb with 94hh, bb checks.

    Flop is Kh9s8h

    I check, the bb bets 4 bb, MP raises to 10 bb

    I have middle pair + 4 kicker and a heart flush draw.

    Action:

    — Fold

    — Cold Call 10 bb w/ one player still to act

    — Raise to ___ bb

    — Raise All In

    the mid pos limp is deff weird u wld think he wld raise KK 99 and 88 pre. 94hh cld be folded pre u might call 1 bet here but u shd be expecting another bet on the turn. I don’t think u can call the 10bb raise bcas a lot of the time some1 with have a bigger flush draw acex suited wld put in the bet or even the 10 bb re raise. after the MP e raises it to 10bbs I’m tossing my hand into the much and moving on with my decent size stack.

    Yuck. Limped pot madness. Since this is a limped pot, I don’t read as much in BB taking the lead—except that it has to be some kind of value. They could be doing that with most of their value and draws (weak Kx, 9x, 8x, and flush/straight draws). The raise from MP has us in a lot of trouble, mostly. Especially from a player that open limps. Those player types like to see flops and get aggro when they hit. I’d be very surprised if this was even something like a gutter (QJ/QT etc). I’m putting this range squarely on Kx and better flush draws. Even though we like our hand, we’re not doing very well against these two ranges. There’s no turn or river card that makes us feel all that comfortable. We’ve only invested 1bb and we’re going to have to go to the mat with this hand if we continue. And if we go to the mat and someone comes along with us, we’re almost never ahead. I guess the dream scenario is that they both have hands like JT, but that’s a pretty narrow needle to thread and even in that dream scenario, we’re still quite vulnerable. I’m folding.
