Here's a hand that happened to me recently on Party. Have a stack of 250. Get UTG+1. UTG limps, I limp, Button limps, sb calls, and BB checks.


Pot = $10, Flop =

Checked to me, I bet $10. All fold to SB who check raises min to $20. BB folds, I call. SB is a solid player who is not a maniac. He does not have trash here, he's got some kind of hand. He has a stack that is only 5 dollars smaller than mine.

Pot = $50 Turn =

He bets 1/2 pot, What should be my play?

Change things up a bit. Say instead I had . Or .

What is my play then?

Thanks

It would really suck if he's holding Q4 or Q2 in the sb But you gotta take that chance.

I would go ahead and raise the turn. you wanna try and get this guy's entire stack.

Calling isn't horrible here...I'm just thinking about the best way to take his stack.

I think I would have reraised his checkraise flop...I want him to think I am protecting a weaker hand here and get my money in when I have the best of it.

This is tough on the turn. I also would have to think I am ahead here and he hit a flush, which means he is probably drawing dead...he might have a set of 2's or the Q4 or Q2 which to me are a tiny possiblilty in the SB. I'm not sure raising here doesn't scare him away, but I want to play for my stack as well, so I raise here. Probably raise to $75-90, and hope he calls...would be nice if he had something like [Qc] and has a good draw in his opinion so that you can get even more action and a possible reraise all-in from him.

The best thing you can hope for is him having the ace high flush with no outs, and him thinking you are reraising him w/ trip queens because it will really be hard to put you on a set with the way you have played this hand so far. Hope he didn't have the higher FH.

I definitely raise here on the turn...he will at the very least call the raise IMO.

With [Qh], it's really tough. I would probably call a turn bet, and even be willing to fold if he made me pay too much for a draw. I need to get almost 5-1 on my money for the call and w/ a pot bet, I am only getting 3-1without including implied odds. With [7d], I would raise as well, but I might fold to a turn reraise if this player is tight or plays well. It seems most people checkraise w/ two pair or a set on a flop like that...it seems indicative of a strong hand IMO, but he might be making a play at you w/ just a Q because you bet in late position...that is why I liked your call on the flop which screams weaker hand(although I still do reraise being the chicken I am to let a card help my opponent). Ok, for some reason I could just talk about this hand all day, so i stop now.
