Title: What line do i take here
Post by: LongshanksED on August 13, 2009, 20:17:29 PM
Pub game after nuts pub tournament

only a £10 buy in with 5p 10p blinds

1st hand of the cash game and im in the BB

UTG i have no info on - new to the venue
Button i know very well, likes to play almost any cards from the button and happy to play most connected/one gapper cards. plays position very well and a very good LAG player

UTG raises to 30p, button calls and i have Q9hearts - decided to call to defend my BB as its the 1st hand

Q96 flop rainbow, no hearts. im happy but not wanting to get greedy i decide to lead out with 80p into the 90p pot. both UTG and button call. think button has A6 or perhaps 78

6 turn

cautious of the 6 with the button i decide to do a feeler and bet out £2 into the £3 (ish pot). if im raised i dont think i can go any further but both just call. i know pretty sure button has A6 or 78

Q river

with the betting as it is im very curious but think im ahead. i lead out for £4 into the almost £10 pot and have just under 3 left. UTG calls and button shoves all in

just under £3 left i dont think i can fold so i call

what you put the button on

Even I could play that hand superbly -- AA didn"t -- but your hand played itself

I"d bet the flop bigger. Screw subtlety, stack off with top two in £10 pub game.

If you are losing your whole stack at this level, maybe you should move down to lower stakes for a while.

Disagree. In a £10 pub game, if you DON"T lose your stack with the best full house and the second nut hand, then you are just too soft.

On the river I grab the charity box off the bar, go round the pub asking for donations and then stick the lot in the middle, with my house keys, my life savings and my left testicle.
