Pretty good live 20 game. Villain in this hand is not the reason the game is good; I have played with him lots and he seems fairly competent. A bit passive, but almost certainly a winner. I gauge his range here to be reasonable (88+, AJ+, ATs+, KQ...and maybe some other suited broadways but I'm not sure about that).
The hand is played under weird blind conditions. The "should be" button busted out, and therefore the button skipped a spot. In this situation the button posts a small blind (2 chips) on the button, and there are two big blinds to the left of the button. I am BB1, and BB2 is to my left.
The hand goes off either 7 or 8 handed; I'm not sure.
UTG raises. It folds to me and I behold the mighty KingJack-Off. I peer to my left and
Chuck Thompson is telegraphing a fold (my stars!). I defend.
Question 1: Combining the telegraph and the fact that I have a whole small bet, not just half, in the pot already, this is an easy call right?
5 small bets in the pot, heads up:
T93r
I check and call.
3.5 big bets in the pot, heads up:
T93-5 a flush draw now
I check, not sure if I'll call a bet, and he checks it right back after a bit of thought. If he has a pair, it's not bigger than 8s, and I doubt he has even that.
3.5 big bets in the pot, heads up:
T93-5-J
Question 2: What do I do now?
