NHL10 (deep...according to FTP):

[MikeyEl]

6 handed, is this in anyone's range for a PF raise given the stacks at the table?

I hadn't played at hand at this table for about 3 orbits, this was the best thing I saw, so I raised UTG hoping to stop the bleed.

MP basically shouts "I have Aces" with his stupid minraise I call because the odds are there (maybe) and stacks are deep.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

BB ($5.20)
Hero (UTG) ($20.25)
MP ($14.42)
CO ($15.36)
Button ($10)
SB ($5.43)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, 10
Hero bets $0.35, MP raises to $0.79, 4 folds, Hero calls $0.44

Flop: ($1.73) 10, 8, 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $1.73, Hero ???

Crap, god why did I raise UTG with A10s. TPTK and Backdoor flush draw. Villain sitting 150BBs deep. (130BBs remaining in stack). I'm fairly certain the villain has an overpair. If you are grinding Micros, is this a call? Then check/fold? Or is it c/f here?

If you were playing against a standard good TAG at a higher limit, you could easily turn this into a bluff if you put them on AA or KK. Pretty sure nobody at nl10 is going to lay that down though. I'd fold and cry a little because I have no reads on my opponents...or did you just forget to put stats in? Haha

I would probably just fold that. Also, there's nothing wrong with raising A-Ts UTG in a 6-max game.

Travz, I honestly cannot remember the villain's stats. I want to say they were something like 40/02/xx. But there is a 50% chance I am just making this up.

HeyKidMove, it wasn't a 6-max table, we just happened to be 6 handed. Though, that doesn't really change much in the way of my hand probably being best statistically, it may have an affect the other people at the tables perception of what hands to play. But lets face it, this is NL10, these donkeys will play anything.

My read was this guy has Aces or Kings. Probably Aces because even a beginner knows you want to charge a high entry fee for the Ax hands.

Here is the rest of this hand:

Turn: ($5.19) 10 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $5.19, Hero raises to $17.73 (All-In), MP calls $6.71 (All-In)

River: ($28.99) J (2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $28.99 | Rake: $1.93


This is the second time I have called with TP, and spiked trips on the turn. Both times against Aces, both times getting a lot of the villains stack. I feel that the right move is to fold if I put him on an overpair because I only have about 6 outs (2 10s, 1/2 of the 9 hearts for e back door flush). That being said, if you do land your miracle card for 17BBs, it is likely you could end up with Villain's entire stack. Anyways, I really think I should have folded this hand, what do you guys think?

[mrdick2u]

I think it is a little premature to put him on Aces. That is just my opinion and experience at this level. Just as easily, he could have JJ or QQ (which I could see him playing the same way as you show.) It is a tough call, but one I would probably make after the flop and reannalyze from there. If an A,10,or heart came, I might call another ok sized bet. If none of those, easy fold. Obviously you know what he had since you went to showdown, but that is my thought.
