The Situation: 5-handed $1/$2 NL Hold'em cash game. UTG you find 6h and raise to $8. The cutoff calls, as does the big blind. The big blind plays a loose-aggressive style.

The flop is 9h6d. The BB checks and you bet $16, 3/4 of the pot. The cutoff folds, and then BB min-reraises you to $32. Both you and the BB have around $200 left behind.

What do you and why?:

a) Call
b) Re-Raise Small
c) Re-Raise Big
d) Fold

"call, proceed with caution"



Posted August 13, 2007 by jasony
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.
  

"Easy fold"



Posted August 14, 2007 by penkkis
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.
  

"c) Re-Raise Big"



Posted August 14, 2007 by Sorbus
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).
  

"C: Re-Raise Big"



Posted August 14, 2007 by -laiha-
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.
  

"no need to raise"



Posted August 14, 2007 by nxtyear
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
  

"Reraise Big"



Posted August 14, 2007 by MDStorey
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.
  

"c) Re-Raise Big"



Posted August 14, 2007 by JimCheesa1
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.

"call"



Posted August 14, 2007 by EinZaunpfahl
In this situation I would call him!
So i get the turn card as cheap as possible!
  

"I would only call . because"



Posted August 14, 2007 by Bartalos
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
  

"d) Fold BB was getting in"



Posted August 14, 2007 by ProbePro
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
  

"Call"



Posted August 14, 2007 by KlxKK
No need to reraise here. I'm still on a draw but might have the best hand...
  

"FOLD"



Posted August 14, 2007 by 1984Sagi
If BB play loose-aggressive style, no one can know what he had, so in this situation is better to fold
  

"Re-Raise Big, because this"



Posted August 14, 2007 by yoigo1987
Re-Raise Big, because this is the great form to know if he have a project or an overpair, or a set.
  

"re-raise big"



Posted August 14, 2007 by spifftiff
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.
  

"B re-raise small"



Posted August 14, 2007 by coldcash
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
  

"c) reraise big"



Posted August 14, 2007 by JapaneseMind
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,
  

"Reraise big"



Posted August 14, 2007 by GeorgeLuz
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.
  

"call"



Posted August 14, 2007 by ctrl
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.
  

"Re-Raise BIG"



Posted August 14, 2007 by FASTA
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.
  

"i would make a reraise to 64"



Posted August 14, 2007 by JrDeline
i would make a reraise to 64 because i have 9 outs.
  

"just call"



Posted August 14, 2007 by divare
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
  

"As you have the flushdraw"



Posted August 14, 2007 by prontopoker
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.
  

"C) Re-Raise Big"



Posted August 14, 2007 by Ale_Taho
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!
  

"A) call"

"call."

call.
  

"fold"



Posted August 14, 2007 by kaypel
minraises are often used to build huge pots.
  

"call"



Posted August 14, 2007 by Tenchu83
I will call, it's cheapest way.
  

"quiz"



Posted August 14, 2007 by svvbred
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
  

"FOLD"



Posted August 14, 2007 by Morpheus
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"

c) Re-Raise Big
  

"d) Fold"



Posted August 14, 2007 by pitsch
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!

"Quiz"



Posted August 14, 2007 by king chip23
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.
  

"just call"



Posted August 14, 2007 by sasre
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
  

"Harry says let's have cheap"



Posted August 14, 2007 by HarryHaddock
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 )
  

"Re-raise big!"



Posted August 15, 2007 by QuidProQuo
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.
  

"Call, no doubt"



Posted August 15, 2007 by HungryEyes
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
  

"reraise small is the best"



Posted August 19, 2007 by juliens666
a small reraraise is the best to figure out his hand
  

"The answer!"



Posted August 22, 2007 by Skydive
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
