Full Tilt Poker $0.50/$1 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

Hero (BB): $111.10
UTG: $105.85
MP: $101.50
CO: $100.00
BTN: $100.00
SB: $215.15

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is BB with 9

UTG raises to $3, 4 folds, Hero calls $2

Flop: ($6.50) 8

(2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $4

Should I have re-raised @ flop, or check-raised his weak lead-out?

This hand was played perfectly if you called the flop.

readless I'd 3bet pre

as played I'd donk 2 streets, maybe 3 on favorable cards. c/c will be impossible on this board on a lot of cards that'll run out if opponent is decently aggro at all

imho if u really want to know where you are in the hand the best way is re-raise and fold if oppo 4bet or push. c/c is good too and see if he bets the turn. right decision imho don't squeeze utg when he opens if he's tight if he isn't u could squeeze.

3 bet UTG raiser, that's just turning a great hand into a bluff. How are you going to proceed on a 7 high board?

Calling pre is so much better.

c/c flop and see what happens on the turn. Raising flop is sooooooooooooo bad.

oops my bad I totally didn't look at the positions; I just assumed it was blind vs LP for some reason. I still like donking as opposed to c/c tho.

Call or donk the flop, depends on villians cbetting tendencies. Raise is just spew unless some history.

C/C flop, if he is a barrelmonkey, C/C most turns, if he is not, C/F most turns.
