Hand 2 : 4th Feb

Hand 2

Stack sizes:
Hero: $1182
BB: $980

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with 9d Td
UTG folds, Hero raises to $35, 3 folds, BB calls.

Here I'm UTG+1 and make a raise with T9s which is fine. I get called by the BB who is a good regular, a little looser pre-flop than most.


Flop: Ad Qd Js ($75, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $55, BB calls.

The flop is pretty good for me giving me a flush draw and a straight draw. I'm not 100% sure what I would do if raised here, as I think AQ, AJ, and QJ would be big parts of his range. Therefore, I probably wouldn't have too much fold equity and might just have to call with my draw rather than shove.


Turn: Tc ($185, 2 players)
BB bets $150, Hero calls.

The turn puts four to a straight out and he leads into me. At this point it seems like he has a KQ/KJ type hand, or he could have a small flush draw and be trying to represent a K. I don't think I have enough fold equity to put in a raise here, so I make a call instead. I'm 4-1 to hit my flush, so I need to win $600 to make this a profitable call (4 x $150). With his bet the pot is $335, so I only need to win another $300ish off him on the river if I hit. If he has a K I think I'll definitely get paid, and if he doesn't have a K then I'll have more outs than just the flush cards.


River: Th ($485, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

The river gives me trips and he checks to me. I might have the best hand here but, given the range we gave him on the turn (KQ, KJ, low flush draws), there's no way I can value bet.


Results:
Final pot: $485
