Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
9 players

Villian is v. tight and not v. aggressive, so I'm pretty convinced he has big here, but this could be AK or KQ. Equally could be a set or KT. Routine fold? Call and re-evaluate? Raise?

Stack sizes:
UTG: $44.25
UTG+1: $35.15
MP1: $29.30
MP2: $53.85
MP3: $19.60
CO: $101.35
Button: $70.75
SB: $49.15
Staresy: $43.45

Pre-flop: (9 players) Staresy is BB with K 6
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, 2 folds, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls, Staresy checks.

Flop: T K 6 ($3, 6 players)
SB checks, Staresy bets $2.50, UTG calls, MP1 raises to $10,3 folds,Staresy ....

I fold that one. If he's tight and passive, then it's really a no brainer to me. I don't think he's going to re-raise with TPTK or a flush draw.

fold. even a tight player such as he would probably have to raise ak or aq preflop right? i would put him on KT suited...a limp preflop with multiple limpers (implied odds), and a raise to get rid of flush draws. if you think kt suited is out of his range here, than there's not much in his range that you do beat here.

I fold. If he had more behind I might call and represent the flush if a spade falls, but with less than $19 behind he's going to feel pot committed real quick here.

Geez folding is a lot easier said than done here... esspecially against someone with 60 bbs...

I think calling might be best here, and betting/pushing the turn. If he is tight then he isn't raising a flush draw..... this is assuming you think you're ahead of his range.

What makes it tough is you say he is tight/passive.. how many hands? Stats? Usually when a passive raises you flags should go up. I think the fact that makes me want to push so bad is the fact that he isn't full... folding might be best here, but in the heat of the moment I would probably call and get it in on the turn. Maybe even a spade could scare him away? Eh...

this guy has to be a real nit for me to fold here. I'd usually call.

I hate calling. Draw heavy board with only $20 behind, I would just stick the rest of the money in there and hope for the best if I'm not folding to this guy.

yeah, i think ur right.

If this guy is a real tight/passive and he's way ahead of our range though, obvious fold.
