This is in Montreal at Playground. $1,650 buy-in, multiple starting days and you can re-enter. Hero decided to enter late today.
The Table has a few looser spots, but haven't seen too much crazy action yet.
Starting stack is 30K, we are in 200/400 w/ 400 ante from BB.
Hero has ~27K
Villain has ~60K - he seems to be a recreational player, but looks competent. Our sample size is super small at this point.
Preflop: Hero has Q
J
in the CO
Folds to us and we raise to 1,100, Villain calls on the button, BB calls
Flop: Q
T
6
BB checks, Hero bets 1,500, Villain raises to 5K, BB folds, hero?
What is our plan for the rest of the hand if we just call here? It feels a bit weak to fold here, but I not sure if this is too thin a spot and just better to pass it up. I am thinking of a few things here.
1. Do we want to play for our stack with this hand?
2. If we decide to call the flop are we going to try and get it in on what we deem to be a safe turn card?
3. Are we going to try and call down if the run out looks good?
As the hand unfolded,
Hero calls the flop.
Turn: 6
hero checks, villain bets 5,500, hero?
