Confusing Hand
Mikeyboy9361:
I would agree with Rob, and raise to 7k, and would expect the SB to fold. If he is agressive, he may be disguising a monster, that is all down to your read. If so he will possibly re pop you, and as Rob says you are now playing a big pot. In which case a check would have been the better option, as I said all down to your read.
coprey:
My read is, this guy is slippery and aggressive, I want to avoid playing flops with him. I dont want to give him a chance of hitting a rag. My instinct and from what I have seen so far is that he would have raised with a strong hand. I therefore put him on a weak hand.
coprey:
I generally dont like to raise on the BB too often and will often just check in this position, however I think many would agree that a raise is in order here. I opted to raise 7k as I put this player on a weak hand and was reluctant to let him see a flop and get creative.
I raise 7k, pot is now 11k
He announces re-raise and slides in 18k
I look again at my hand AcJc and im wondering what this guy is doing
Its gonna cost me another 11k to call
What do I do?
deanp27:
the raise is good, i probably make it slightly smaller at 6k but this is fine.
BvB battles are hard to comment on in a vaccuum as so much is read/history dependant and AJs is very difficult to fold HU.
His line looks super strong and i may just fold here, except if i suspect he is making a move. His small re-raise against someone who doesn"t seem to be too aggro looks like a monster. You are either marginally in front/flipping or miles behind imo and this is one of the few spots where i may fold a large ace BvB
Mikeyboy9361:
With your read being "Slippery and aggressive" I would have just checked here. That would then give me a chance to re evaluate on the flop, a re pop was always on the cards, the flat call from the SB looked very suspect to me.
I think you can probably get away from it now, if you call then you have committed 30% of your stack and you still don"t know where you are, it is a difficuly fold though.
I presume you called?
