Daily Poker Quiz: Top Pair Top Kicker facing a Bet and Raise

  6 Reviews (Login to Write a Review)

The Situation: $2/$4 NL, Full Ring Cash Game. Your table image is Tight Aggressive and you have built your stack up to $400.
From Middle Position you make it $15 to go with AdJs. Both Blinds call and the flop comes AdJhJh. The small blind, an unknown player with $300 behind, leads out for $30. The Big Blind, a deep stack who was caught bluffing the previous hand, min-raises to $60.

Top pair, good kicker: in this situation I'd try and get the other two to fold. If they called I'd proceed with caution. A lot of people play tight for a while after getting caught bluffing.

you have huge RIO
call isnt good because you have no idea what to do with a turn bet. reraise isnt good either, because it makes you virtually comitted if called.

Your hand is too good to fold. The other 2 players either flopped a set, or are on a draw. I would call to see if the turn was a dangerous card, and if not I'd be more aggressive.

In this circumstance I would say the player you need to learn more about is the small blind. On that board the only hands that would beat you are a set or 2pair JJ1010 as 106 or J6 should not call your raise out of position (unless tilted).
If player one pushes over your $135 raise he is holding a monster hand JJ1010 or a set, therefore your 15% at best and not getting the odds to call. Also he has put only $30 in on flop and not getting odds to play on espec as it looks like the BB is drawing with a fl or str8 dr and so will lay down a draw in this situation.
If you study the raise the big blind has made, it is the raise of a straight drawer or flusher, wanting to min raise to get a turn an riv paying $60 for a $165 pot and potentially could be alot more if he spikes turn or riv. By you making it $150, he might push all in and as he seems to be steaming, I say 100% call him, as he is drawing and created the calling odds for himself with his $60 raise!
