98s against a loose vp, but tight PFR.

[Verto]

Hey guys

villain is 25/0 and an AGF of 3 over 30 hands


PokerStars - $0.02 NL (9 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

Hero (BB): $2.06
UTG: $1.44
CO: $7.16
BTN: $0.95
SB: $1.71

SB posts SB $0.01, Hero posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero has 9 T

UTG calls $0.02, CO raises to $0.12, fold, fold, Hero calls $0.10, fold
I call this because i know SC's are good implied odds hands and I'm essentially putting my villain on AA, KK, AK

Flop: ($0.27, 2 players) T Q 9
Hero checks, CO bets $0.26, Hero calls $0.26

Turn: ($0.79, 2 players) 2
Hero checks, CO bets $0.76, Hero calls $0.76

River: ($2.31, 2 players) K
Hero checks, CO checks

Was I right to play it this way?

folding pre is great without reads and oop. You cannot put villain on KK+/AK based on that sample size to justify calling pre, if you are right then play your hand like he has KK+/AK....
flop is bad, either donk-3b-etc or c-raise.
River is check-decide as played.

That's way too tight of a range for your villain first off, second I don't like flatting both streets as you don't get any value from hands like AQ with A of diamonds, or a big pair with a diamond, you basically just trying to showdown your hand. I like a check raise on the flop, and jam the turn as if he does have a high pair with a diamond he's calling at these stakes, Idk. I don't like the play at all imo.

Ok thanks for feedback, I have allot to learn.

Fold pre
flop and turn are just horribad
c/r flop to ~.60 - .70

[baudib]

definitely fold pre.

[Shotglass]

either your title is wrong or the hand is
98s in title
T9s in HH

[Verto]

lol your sig seems quite appropriate for me right now. Yeah title is wrong , cant find how to change it either.

i could see calling pre had villain raised to $0.08 or less simply because i expect random 2nlers to play terribly postflop and over-value single pair type hands. as played, fold pre. the flop is really wet and there are a ton of turn cards (any 8,J,Q,K,A) which either

- make your hand second-best, or
- kill your action because the board is too scary for villain to pay you off

so C/R it up and get some value.

DEFINITELY need to be C/Ring this turn as played as well. your rationale for calling pre was because you thought villain's range was pretty strong and thus you could get paid off if you hit. yet you check/call and don't really give villain a chance to make that mistake.

the morale of the story is ..... don't sit there and try to be sneaky when u hit a big hand, just get the money in the middle.

Shama-nah-hi-ya! Preach on! Lol I like c/raise flop jam turn for value.

we can CRAI this w/ no problem, 2nl will call us on TP, overpairs, Jx, any FD so we get payed by a lot worse...
but like they said, better fold pre
