  2. What makes you think he has hit the Ace ? Just wondering. Also, why 5-bet utg with a mid pair ?
    Personally i've been seeing too many people 4-5-6 bet early POS and they usually show mid pairs.
  3. fyi 5-betting means a different thing than raising 5x :] I base my raises on table position. 1st 2 rounds I 5x from UTG & UTG+1 and 4x from all others. Then I 4x from the first two and 3x from others, then around 100-200 I 3x from the first two and 2.5x from the others. I'd raise AA 5x here as well as 99, and I only sometimes raise 88-TT instead of limping.

  4. Yeah sorry, pretty tired. haha. So what about your read on him. I mean, that's a situation you're gonna come accross very often, what did you put him on for calling your flop bet and the turn ?
  5. Doesn't really matter what I put him on, as everything here beats me. He either has Ax or a set here always after calling my flop and turn bet. I was more curious about the turn play here and whether people liked the double-barrel

  6. We need to make the bet on the flop $170-$200 so the pot odds aren't good. As played I fold
