2/2 Live, 9 players

utg $200
mp $350 (Hero = 5 6 8 9
co $600


preflop:
utg limps, hero raises to $10, hj calls, co calls, sb folds, bb calls, utg pots to $62, hero calls, hj folds, co calls, bb folds

utg is on tilt.
he could be over valuing speculative hands like AX XX.
when he was button, he 3 bet double suited junk and pushed with a 8 high flush draw on the flop. (he didn't hit)

CO is a LUCKY loose player and has called 3bets with hands like single suited medium pairs or single suited 3 card run downs with a dangler. (both times hit a set or wrap on the flop and won.)

Flop ($186): 6 8 9
utg pushes for $138, Hero?

I put utg on an over pair from JJxx to AAxx. he would probably slowplay a flopped straight on a rainbow board.
Bring CO along and just call?

Jam. Push CO out of the pot and get it HU with likely the best hand. Unfortunately CO could have JT or something to call off with but I'm not sure you're getting away from this flop with stack to pot ratio being so low

Fold pre.

ship it and dont fold pf....yawn.

Raising this trash with 6 ppl left to act(including limper) looks amazing.

live games always looser with crazy lkight stack offs. GII and lose to a higher two pair when board double pairs

so basically, it's 'the pot is big enough' and don't get greedy by bringing the CO along even on this safe board incase he has one particular hand, TJ?

(he's not folding TJQ wrap or a set)

Why iso this in this line up?

Dont slow play, we dont want CO to came along with our hand.

Why not?

as I said above, I can only think of JT as the only hand that im afraid of *AND* that he'll fold.
he's not going to fold a TJQ wrap or a set

Slow play then, is almost the same. The mat can be done, maybe someone will do i for you, but I am sure that jamming is more EV then calling.

For principal this ****ty low hands are very vulnerable and dont like to play later streets when hit 2 pairs.

Imagine the villain is drunk and see you call and think he have fold equity if he jams with ex:AQT9, that will be a total disaster for you.

oh wow.. didn't think of pair + overcards.

yeah, I now see jamming as the best play.

as to my hand:

I thought i was just unlucky that co DID have the one hand that im afraid of *AND* that he'll probably fold, which was TJ.

now I see it's that TJ wasnt my only concern and it's clearly better to jam the flop to not bring him along.
thx!
