The Resurrection of "The Hand of the Week"
It's back ladies and gents. The Hand of the Week will make its weekly
comeback today and a new one posted every week from here on out.
Things got busy with work and poker took a slight back seat such as
it did for Phil with his masters degree. Things are coming together
now and I should have no problem posting these for quite some time
again.
comeback today and a new one posted every week from here on out.
Things got busy with work and poker took a slight back seat such as
it did for Phil with his masters degree. Things are coming together
now and I should have no problem posting these for quite some time
again.
This weeks hand asks the question, should you get away from a big
hand when the board gets scary?
It's in the early stages of a 9 player sit n go. We've lost a couple
of players and the chip stacks are somewhat evened out with a couple
of people with minor leads leaving some players with slightly less
then average stacks. Our hero sits in the small blind with Kc Kd and
a chip stack of 2640. It folds around to us leaving just our hero and
the big blind. We raise to 180 with the blinds at 30/60. A standard
3x raise trying to show that we have something but we don't exactly
want the big blind to go away. We do want to make some money on this
hand. He calls and we see a flop of Ac Kh Qs. The pot sits at 360
with our big blind on a stack of 3320. Our hero bets out 300 here.
Around 80% of the pot. The big blind insta-calls. The river brings
out the Jh. My thought process here is that we need to bet something
to see where we are at. If he's scared of the straight he'll fold. If
he has 2 pair he might try to make a move over the top of me. So I
bet out 500 into a pot of 960. Just over half the pot should be
enough to see where we are but not pot committing us if we get
spooked. The big blind instantly pushes all in and we are faced with
the decision. Does he have us beat here? Would he instantly push with
a straight or would he want to string us along for more chips? If he
has 2 pair and wants to end this that would be one way of doing it.
Or is this just a bluff and he's bullying us around on a scary board
because we raised his big blind. We have 1840 left and a double up
here would put us in nice shape for the rest of the tourny but a
wrong move puts us out of the tournament. Should we have done
anything with this flop and turn?
Tune in next week for the conclusion of this hand and the start of a
whole new set of issues. And remember, if you don't play you might
just get blinded into something nice.
