OTTH: seven handed, the proverbial five limpers and I complete in the SB with 7c 6h.
Flop: ($21) Tc 9s 8c so I flop the idiot end of a straight, and lead for $25 into six players. V in UTG+1 shoves for $347. Obviously I am behind QJ but also behind a higher combo draw with the two flush board. It is very unlikely that QJ would play this way.
Can anyone find a fold to this massive OB from a guy who on the previous hand was caught bluffing?
Was it advisable to lead into this highly coordinated board?
2/3 I’m fine with tossing in a single chip here. It’s so cheap to see a flop. But we will have to be careful. Coming from mix games, I’ve seen very good players who simply refuse to play RIO hell hands in a game like FLO8 even getting like 11:1 from the sb. I’d figure there’s arguments for likewise in NL.
With this combo I slightly prefer a check raise. There’s really not a lot of good run outs and any spade/Q/J/7/board pair will come with headaches. But this board is so likely to get stabbed at, that I think we can put in a large sizing check raise at a pretty high frequency. And We don’t have such a hammer lock on this hand that we’re devastated if it checks through. Given you did lead, the larger size is better.
I can see him doing this with combo draws, A HJ FD and QJ. If we think he’s limping QJo, he’s going to have a lot of hands that have you dead and we can fold. If he isn’t limping QJo, but is limping T9s and might do this, it starts to tilt towards call.
