I’m in small blind with A2 suited and I raise to 15. I get one caller. Confident young kid.
Flop is 2 7 10 rainbow. Check, check
Turn is a 5. Check, Check
River is a queen. He bets 12 and I call.
He tables Queen jack suited.Did I play this wrong with flopping the bottom pair top kicker?
03/25/2019 at 7:12 am #3958Robert LParticipantHi Ethan, was the caller someone who limped earlier or was it the BB? I think you should be folding the river here but otherwise seems fine.
Thanks
03/25/2019 at 8:32 pm #3978EthanParticipantSorry let me rephraise.
I was in the cutoff. And he was ep.
Everyone folded to me and I raised preflop. Button and sb and bb folded. He called from the ep after limping.03/26/2019 at 4:38 am #3980Nick ZParticipantWhen he checks 2 streets, I would probably bet the turn around 3/4 pot to just take down a cheap one there. Otherwise, you probably should fold this hand pre-flop and wait for a better spot.
03/26/2019 at 5:02 am #3983firestonParticipantThink Nick Z is spot on the money
03/26/2019 at 5:25 am #3984EthanParticipantThanks for the feedback I really appreciate it nick and fireston
03/26/2019 at 5:27 am #3985EthanParticipantThanks for the feedback I really appreciate it nick! Couple questions. 1) can I get called by worse on the turn? 2) is that really a fold preflop when ep limps and everyone else folds? Won’t I be folding to often if I just let A2 suited go?
Thanks so much for the feedback, I’m an up and coming player and the feedback is so helpful!
03/26/2019 at 6:30 am #3987Robert LParticipantHi Ethan, You should probably be raising with all of your suited Aces from the Cutoff. the flop check is fine since your hand should have less equity than your opponent’S limp-calling range on this flop. I actually wouldn’t mind a turn raise as well. You might get called by worse with a turn bet (mostly straight draws) and I think you can deny equity by betting and folding out the unpaired Broadways.
03/26/2019 at 8:33 am #3989allin67ParticipantI am fine with the pre-flop raise here, although we are at the very bottom of our raising range with A2 suited. In terms of bet size, I am fine with $15 if this is a $1/$3 game. If this is a $1/$2 game, this bet sizing is too high.
I would actually generally bet this flop, both because it is very unlikely to have hit my opponents hands and because it keeps strong hands like big pocket pairs clearly in my range. A check will be straight forwardly read as weak.
If you bet and get called, you have five outs to improve. When you spike a duece, they will never see it coming (although it is not the nuts and you can’t necessarily go completely hog wild with trip deuces). If you spike an ace against a hand like AJ, again you suddenly stand to make good $ and will be glad you started pot building early.
