Unless he has a set of 9s, or KQ, I would see atleast 1 more street.
as played i would call here he could be doing this with a flush draw or a q 1 diamond k j 1 diamond but if u raise smaller pre the pot would be alot smaller so ya c-bet would be smaller
7 x kinda mad if u ask me
Then just wait to stack a fish.
if the game is too big for you then you should not be sitting
o sorry jac, YEAH folding toptop to one raise is great play m8
posting opposing opinions is frowned upon cause we dont want advice we just want people to tel us what great players we are
so only hand u can put him on is kq 99 and 10 j very narrow range 2 diamonds on flop leans me to think he has a pair with a flush draw a gd flop to raise
Ok I'll expand
It was not a dig but from experience if you start folding toptop to one flop raise it normally means you feel uncomfortable in the game where you need nuts to continue. It's not going to be good for you if you have this guy on your left.
The fact that vill is good would mean they can be raising a wide range here and not just nutted.
toptop is just too strong a hand to be laying down to one raise on this texture.
if you was playing nl20 on sky are you laying down this hand in this spot ?
calling flop and folding turn if you really think vill is nutted 2 pr/sets/str is not terrible btw
but...
do you fold this on a KQ9 rainbow
do you fold this on a K72 rainbow
do you fold this on a KK2 two diamonds
do you fold this on a AK8 two diamonds
do you fold this on a KKK
the above is just for fun
If you essentially avoiding certain players at the table then imo it shows weakness, and I would suggest playing lower down. Or just admit to yourself that your going to play risk averse and go bum hunting on a Friday night down the local casino
In all honesty, I don't believe the stakes are relevant to this discussion.
I'm not in the habit of folding TPTK on the flop and so that is why I posted the hand.
This is one occasion when, to me it was tough, but felt like the right decision at the time. Yeah, I may not be folding this playing NL20 but that is more due to how deep we're playing rather than how much we're playing.
This is 400BB deep rather than 100BB.
Your point about how I should admit to myself that i'm bumhunting is redundant. I know already that i'm doing this to some extent. I'm not ashamed of that. We all do it to a large degree.
It's not just that, of course. I enjoy the social side of playing live, having a drink and hopefully making a few quid.
Tell me which table you're going to sit at when you first sit down.
The one with Style, Zing etc or the one which is full of bad players?
I play and make money in the casino because the standard is far weaker at 50/1 than it is online at NL20.
If there is one good player at the table and he's going to make my life difficult then I don't have so much of an ego that I want to get into awkward spots against him. Obviously, not ideal when he's on my left. Believe it or not though
good luck
