Re: Random HH from $109 (again - need help here) Myself I am always very wary when I catch a lower str8. I think I'm paralysed by the fear that any villain has the other end. Personally I'd have called the 200 and made a minimum raise on the river, but I think this demonstrates the difference between 5 and 10 seat STT's.

Re: Random HH from $109 (again - need help here) If I min raise I am left with 505, and the blinds are 100/200, and then what do I do if he shoves? fold?, the min raise is prolly a worse play (to me) than shoving my made hand. and again, put yourself in his shoes, I have raised PF and he called, if he has hit top str would he bet?, why not let me represent AJ KJ etc and then call/check-raise - I know what I would do, let the villian have a pop at the the turn first I dunno, maybe I am way off here, but most people slowplay their made hands rather than betting them. And yes I agree, at a ten player table I would be wary of the J, and then again I wouldn't be making a steal move with A6 either :) plus he only has a 4 in 52 chance of having a J, if he has good luck to him Damo :cheers ps you can't be worried about top str when you are short stacked - best get your chips in and hope he has 2 pr :hope :eek

Re: Random HH from $109 (again - need help here) Your pretty short stacked considering theres only 4 left in the hand (The blinds are coming round much faster). He checked on the flop and made a min bet on the turn, he's either slow playing a made hand or just as likely trying to steal. In a situation like this you push, he'll fold if he's nothing. If he has a J then your destined to loose money on this hand regardless, he's likely to push on the river since you're fairly committed at that point if you just call.
