Button is 16.7/0/0 but only 5 hands. His bet on the turn is odd, but it looks like he was just trying to put UTG all-in. I'm either gonna fold or push here obv.... you push?


Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $37.10
CO: $4
Button: $87.55
SB: $39.80
Hero: $99.90

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is BB with 9 5
UTG calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB folds, Hero checks.

Flop: 5 Q 9 ($4.5, 4 players)
Hero bets $4, UTG calls, CO calls all-in $3, Button raises to $8, Hero calls, UTG calls.

Turn: 2 ($31.5, 3 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: $16.5, Sidepot 1: $15)
Hero checks, UTG checks, Button bets $41, Hero thinks for a few secs then raises all-in $90.9

I tend to avoided putting my entire stack on the line without the near nuts in unraised pots. Without a read, I'm not calling the monster turn bet with 1 guy allin and an over pot-sized bet on turn.

his big bet doesn't look like it wants a call, he wants to end it now. if it doesn't end now he probably has a few outs (maybe he has a nice flush draw or something), but I think we're good here a lot.

If I'm not folding on the flop, I would play it like this.

So you fold to a flop minreraise when the turn bet could concievably tell him a lot about his hand?
On another note, this guy minraised a dry side pot and unraised preflop pot. The only thing you are beating is a draw and a donked Qx (which I doubt plays it that way). I fold here. I think that even though it is close, one decided factor you should take into account it the fact that Qx has 8 outs and combo draws and flush draws have 9-15.

If we're no good, do we think we have 4 clean outs?

What context do we have to make sense of a turn bet?

It's a 3 way pot live with a 4rth in the side-pot. Our hand has some pretty terrible reverse implied odds. At worst we can put the Button on a straight or flush draw, although he almost seems to be building a pot. I don't mind a weak-ass fold on the flop.

if you're image is nitty I'd be careful here

If ppl think you're aggro the i'm not too worried getting it all in on the turn here
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
