| The correct play???? No limit holdem...down to four players...blinds 2000-4000, I,ve got 200 000 in chips and everyone folds to the blinds. I'm sitting in the big blind with 22. The small blind raises to 8000 and has a stack of 80 000. I was advised by my brother, who by the way is a very formidable player to simply just call the raise and hope to hit a two. I wanted to pop it to about 30 000 and hopefully not get called. I listed to brother and just called...the flop came 10 5 5. The small blind bet 16 000 and I decided to put him all in. Buddy called and the turn was a 7 the river was a 3, and he turned over 10 4 offsuit and took the money. Looking back I think the play was to raise to about 30 000 pre-flop and try to win the pot uncontested. Any pros out there....? Nick F | ||

| Sounds like he was trying to steal the blinds and then got lucky. Obviously the raise would have been the right move for you. | ||

| NICK, ON WHAT BASIS DID YOU CALL WITH 22. IT IS A LOUSY HAND. A PAAAIR ON BOARD DOES NOT HELP YOU. YOU DESERVED TO LOSE PLAYING LIKE THAT. LJH | ||

| There are good cases to be made for both calling and raising pre-flop, but one thing is for sure- once you missed that flop- and given that the pre-flop action gave you no idea what he had- you should not have continued.

| being NL... and the fact that you were down to 4 players and you had 200,000... im figuring you had the chip lead?? this is not a time to go dancing around in pots... especially if you do in fact have the chip lead.. let them bust eachother... your odds at hitting a 2 outer on the flop for a set are not good.. which is the only way you can play this hand post flop really... anypair at all beats you... any moves made must be made pre-flop unless you do indeed get lucky and hit a duck on the flop! by all means... if your in the BB and its checked to you then check... or if you want to play it safe and its a small raise pre-flop the call and fold when you miss the flop. | ||
