Limit hand #3: Second pair to the board



Posted Mon Jul 31, 2006 11:48 pm GMT by TheSalche
In this hand, the villain was an aggressive player with stats of 58/29 over 52 hands, and VERY aggressive post-flop. If I believe my 9s are good on the flop, how should I have played them? How does the turn card effect me? How do I play if I assume he still doesn't have a pair on the turn?

This one is probably the more interesting of the three

I'd raise the turn if you don't think he has a K or 7. If he raises back, you might need to chuck it.

Preferably, I'd almost rather check-raise the flop and then lead the turn.

These situations are never easy to play in limit, because when you get called, you're often beat.

The way it played out, I think you're beat, but if you called the turn, you have to call the river as well.

I'd raise that in the SB pf with all that dead money, but that's not what you asked.

I think if he is very aggro postflop then I'd go for a check raise on the turn and get some more money in if you think your 99 is good.

Raise preflop....if check to aggressive player and c/r when he bets.
