So my New Year's resolution was to improve my poker play. I've come up with a plan to post at least one hand per session for feedback. I know I've got enough holes in my game and thinking process to make Dgiharris's head explode, but I figure this is one of the best ways to learn.
Villian in this hand is a younger kid, maybe 24-25. I've only recently arrived at the table, but I've only seen him play one hand in three or so orbits and that was a limp in a MW pot. He could be a nit, or he could just be card dead. Judging from his stack, he seems to be doing quiet well.
Hero has only recently sat down. I've only played two hands to this point, neither of them amounting to much.
Hero (B): ~200
Villian(MP1): ~550
Utg limps and Villian raises to $12 and it folds to Hero with A
J
. I call and the rest fold.
Flop (~$29): J
4
4
Villian bets $20. I call.
Turn (~$69): 8
Villian bets $50. Hero?
As tight as villian has been, I'm not entirely comfortable with this spot. However, if I call him here, what do I do if he puts me in on the river? Should I have folded, or raised at any point?
