I'll call in this situation and proceed with caution even if an A or Q comes on the turn. If he's getting cute with trips and I hit my flush, he'll probably pay me off. That said I don't make a habit of drawing to str8 or flush on a paired board.

Check raise is allways bad. If BB play loose-aggressive style, no one can know what he had. Flush come 1/5 that is too small to call.

by penkkis on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

Only if BB was very thigt player, a fold would be correct action. Now you want to re-raise big, because you are 71% favorite against BB range (Sklansky/Malmuth groups 1-6).

I will re raise BIG 90% of the time against lag on this board depending the player i'am against and the reads. Many of the bad players at nl 200 will fold 77-99 to big raise fearing bigger over pair and call with smaller flush draws or straight draws. Only hand i'am really afraid of is 55 and just haveto pay if he got it and agains 6X i still have 25% odds.

by -laiha- on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

just call, your opponents range is going to be from 77~TT, 6x, or two diamond cards.
it's most likely he has a 6 here, either way, his hand is transparent and seeing his range there's no point reraising. you have very good odds the pot is 73 and you have 16 to call, that's about 4.5:1
hitting either a flush or your A or Q will beat the 77~TT range... though u won't have much implied odds ( u won't be able to extract alot more money, there's enough pot odds right away)
if the opponent had a 6, or a flush draw, by hitting your flush you will be able to extract alot more money, potentially the whole stack (especially if the opponent also has a flush draw... but also the trips if the opponent is very fishy)
so just call

Against a loose aggro, you are looking at anything from A-5 to 78, a middle pair, or a wild assed bluff. You are better than/close to even money in most of those cases, and you have him dominated if all he has is a lower flush draw. While he COULD have 55, 56, or trip 6's, I believe he just calls the flop with those most of the time. I would push all-in at this point. Yes you would be risking another $155 but you would win enough, or more desirably, make him fold enough, to make this the most profitable play over the long term.

by MDStorey on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

In this situation, I would reraise big, say another $100 total. He may well have a 6, could have an over pair, straight draw, flush draw... a huge amount of hands, by big reraising it makes it look like you aren't drawing to the flush, but still left with outs to most hands. the reraise will give you a much clearer idea of where you are, given the limited knoweldge we currently have of the player. But either way, from here I would be getting it all in if reraised.

by Latcho on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

In this situation I would call him!
So i get the turn card as cheap as possible!

by EinZaunpfahl on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

I would only call . because its expensive to see the turn if it would be another diamond. its sure that BB has another 6 on his hand but maybe full too or drawing it. Only call its cheaper and I think more SAFER than re raising

by Bartalos on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

d) Fold BB was getting in with small pair 55/66 or suited 56 he has fullhouse. I know because i have raised on these and result was bad, sometimes

by ProbePro on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

No need to reraise here. I'm still on a draw but might have the best hand...

by KlxKK on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

If BB play loose-aggressive style, no one can know what he had, so in this situation is better to fold

by 1984Sagi on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

Re-Raise Big, because this is the great form to know if he have a project or an overpair, or a set.

by yoigo1987 on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

I would do the big re-raise because even if you don't get that final diamond, there is a very good chance that the other player would fold.

by spifftiff on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

It give u best information BB:s hand it make u hand look like a monster and if BB raise more it easy fold of-course u table image means something...

c) Re-Raise Big

by 15234 on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

a LAG can do this action with any FD, any pocket 22-99(TT+ would he have reraise preflop), any OESD, combodraw and set, but even with air he could play ths way.
so except vs a set either i have a coinflip or I'm a huge favourite against another "monsterdraw" OESD + FD which FD I have dominted
so ill reraise big here and call a push,

by JapaneseMind on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

since hes playing LAG, he'll do that with any pair and possibly a few other holdings to try and steal figuring youve missed. your a solid favorite against those holdings.
The minraise is kinda suspicious though.
A big reraise makes you committed so you have to call a push.

by GeorgeLuz on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

I would just call here. You never know what BB has, but if the diamond comes to table I think I have the best hand.

by ctrl on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

If the BB would be a LAG player, I would re-raise him big. If he calls you then you can be pretty sure he has the six, otherwise he won't take the risk to see the next card. You don't immediately lose your money if he calls, because you've got another card to see if it's a diamond. He might think your bluffing, because your raised before the flop (that mostly means AK, AQ or high pair). He never expect you to have a six, because that would be a strange raise.
So I just would say, re-raise him big, to see if he has the six and just hope the next card is a diamond.

by FASTA on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

i would make a reraise to 64 because i have 9 outs.

by JrDeline on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

i would just call it and hope to hit the fifth diamond, an ace ore a gueen if you dont hit anything and the BB raise again on the turn then you cald fold

by divare on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

As you have the flushdraw and 2 overcards, you have 15 outs. That is more than enough to warrant a re-raise. This re-raise works also well as a semi-bluff.
So a re-raise big is probably he best play at this moment.

by prontopoker on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

C) Re-Raise Big
You have a good about 35% to make a flush with "A", and BB checks first and re-raises min. after you bet and he plays a loose-agressive style. So you have to re-raise!

by Ale_Taho on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

A) call

by Srojitas on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

call.

by manufactured on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

minraises are often used to build huge pots.

by kaypel on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

I will call, it's cheapest way.

by Tenchu83 on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

i will fold
coz 1) i dont have a made hand
2) even flush comes there is every possibility of losing to fullhouse
the probalility of i getting flush and he getting fullhouse (even he may be having it already) are almost same
had there not been a pair on board then it is fit for either call or raise

by svvbred on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

You've got plenty of chips left, can't put BB on a hand, and don't need to go chasing after hands. All they need right now is a 5,6 to beat you. Your draw hand isn't worth it.

c) Re-Raise Big

by PokerStorm74 on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

The probability at the tower or River a Flush to have is about 35%.
But since BB on 32$ raist, I must think that he holds full a house.
I fold!

by pitsch on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

Call

by barkwop on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

A) Call If you call here you are getting the right pot odds to hit your flush Ace or Queen if they do have the 6 and you do hit the flush you will be able to trap them for all of there money because they are so aggressive. If you don't hit then you get out of the hand.

by king chip23 on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

bb is loose-aggressive and will probably bet the turn regardless of whether 3rd diamond comes, at which point you reraise if you hit or just call if you're getting laid, the odds

by sasre on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

Harry says let's have cheap call, odds are with me. chances of dropping an A Q or D are high and lets just hope it was the right call )

by HarryHaddock on August 14, 2007 (login to reply)

My opponent is a loose aggressive player so he propably just raises cause he knows the chance that I didnt hit anything is huge. With a big reraise you propably win the pot right away. You can't call cause a loose aggressive player will propably bet the turn too and than you have no idea what he can have.

by QuidProQuo on August 15, 2007 (login to reply)

Of course I would call - there are already 73$ in the Pot and it only costs me 16$ more to call the re-raise of that loose-aggressive BB. Maybe an overpair, another possibility trips (what I doubt) - but if I hit my flush he probably will pay me off well ... even his loose I dont think he`d call me with some 6-combination .... not afraid of that small chance I`ll run into Pocket 5`s or some 56. No small re-raise to give him the chance to push me all-in nor a big re-raise, too dangerous with that board if I dont hit my flush IMHO. Besides it wouldnt be very clever to re-raise me if he`s already full

by HungryEyes on August 15, 2007 (login to reply)

a small reraraise is the best to figure out his hand

by juliens666 on August 19, 2007 (login to reply)

I made this quiz si here is the answer:
I reraise big here und did it her too
bb pushed then and i called
The reason:
If everyone hand read phil gordrons little green books there is a chapter called "hands to go to war with"
the question is what kind of hand got bb here?
mostly i wouldnt call with 56 so a fullhouse happens not that often. against 66 we are dead and vs 55 nearly but how often will this happen?
Possible here would a weaker flushdraw and at this limit many people push any kind of fd also an oesd would be possible or hands like TT+
against TT,JJ we are 52% favorite
against QQ or KK its not that gould but we got some outs
and against any other fd or an oesd we are fav too.
Villain showed up JJ btw so is got 52% and i hit my flush, often i dont hit the flush but still with money invested i would never fold and a call isnt that good because when the 3rd diamond appears i will never get the pot big

by Skydive on August 22, 2007 (login to reply)

call

by subman2 on October 22, 2008 (login to reply)

Since I only have 200 chips left, I would push "all in".
However, I would have played this hand very differently. Since the cut off man only called and the BB is a loose aggressive player, I would have pushed all in from the get go.
