Hey, guys, first hand history post... don't eat me up too badly. I was wondering if I missplayed this hand on the flop. I was out of position and the flop scared me. I didn't want to lose too many chips here, so I just checked. When my opponent pushed, I had a nagging feeling that he might be bluffing but he made it expensive for me to find out. What's your opinion?

Thanks.


Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.10 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

SB ($14.60)
BB ($10.10)
Hero ($21.30)
MP ($4.75)
Button ($5.65)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 9, 9.
1 fold, Button raises to $0.5, 2 folds, Hero raises to $1.8, Button calls $1.30.

Flop: ($3.75) K, Q, 5 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $3.85 (All-In), Hero folds.

Final Pot: $7.60

did you limp/re-raise pre-flop?

Just call his PFR, or push PF. You have precious little room for postflop play with his stack being that small. As played, a 1/2 size pot bet is over half his remaining stack and commits him to push, either on the flop or the next street, so it's check/fold or push.

With no reads, it's check/fold here all day. Hell even with reads its check/fold.
Ship It

call preflop, or fold ...i'd fold here ( i like getting more than 10 to 1 implied odds when i call a raise with small/medium PP) ...calling is fine, tho ..

if you do call your looking to hit a set....check/ fold this flop...

Did you Limp/reraise?

For some reason, my opening raise wasn't converted. Hand actually goes like this:

Hero raises to $.30, 1 fold, Button raises to $0.5, 2 folds, Hero raises to $1.8, Button calls $1.30.

Flop: ($3.75) K, Q, 5
(2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $3.85 (All-In), Hero folds.

Final Pot: $7.60

Actually, looking at it again, I can put him on a premium pair with his small reraise and quick call of my reraise. Yeah, I think fold was the right move here on the flop.
