    What is your play here? (Theoretical Hand)

    You're playing in a tournament, seated at a 9 handed table. For simplicity, everyone has a 10K stack

    Blinds: 200-400 + 100 Ante
    Pot size: 1500

    It's folded to you on the button and you hold Ad/Ah. You raise it to 1100

    SB folds and BB calls the 700 more. However, when he looked at his cards, you saw he was holding a Qd/Jd

    Pot size: 3300

    The flop is: As Kd 9d

    Questions:

    1. BB bets out 1/2 pot. What is your play?

    2. BB checks to you. What is your play?

    3. Same scenario as above, except now the board is As 10d 9d.

    What is your play if the BB bets? Checks?
    Never be afraid to lose.

    Couple of things wrong with this scenario....first off the antes are high in comparison to the blinds...It should be more like 50 or 75...

    I also don't like my raise of 1100 I would be inclined to bet more...maybe even shove considering taking down the blinds and antes would increase my stack size 15%. I also wouldn't be sure how I would see another players cards two to my left.

    However with this flop I am 68/31 favorite So I would be inclined to shove now since I know he is on a draw...there's 3300 and I have left...8800(100 ante, 1100 pfr). He won't be getting the right odds getting 12,100-8,800 or 1.375-1 on his money.

    Should he bet 1/2 pot which would be 1650 and then I shove 8800 total there's now..13,750...he has 7150 to call 13750 or 1.92-1 on his money which is still not the right odds.

    In the 2nd flop im a 3-2 favorite and my answers would probably be the same.

    This is also going off of very little information about the player...what's his Agression Factor like? How passive is he out of the blinds? Etc.

    On to the hand.

    It's a coin flip for my action but the boards make no difference to me. I've flopped a monster, with a monster re-draw. Do I want to get it in now and take down the pot, or risk the suckout, and take a chance at a bigger pot. Sometimes, I'll push in response to a bet, sometimes I'll flat. Same with the check. Sometimes I'll bet pot, sometimes a lot less, sometimes I'll even check. There's no set response for me here. A lot's going to depend on my opponent and how I can extract the most from him.

    Well we (moderators) do always say attack the post and not the poster so you're welcome to your opinions. Just be aware those opinions might inflame members which IS against the rules which is why Paul asked you in a roundabout way to "play nicely".

    if i KNOW he has Q J d I'm folding , picking up whats left of my chips and finding a cheap hooker, because everyone knows I can't hit sand if i fall off a camel AND if you have more than .0023 outs vs me you will definitely hit.

    Nynus, you never know what you are going to do until you have already done it, which is why it is so much fun to play with ya

    I shove.... get called... and BB hits on the river...

    Then I throw something across the room, usually knocking my coffee over while doing so. curse at the computer screen. type "NH, GG, GL" in the chatbox, Shut the computer down and go to the garage.
