Dealt to Hero T♦ T♣

UTG raises to $480, fold, fold, fold, Hero ??

I have no fold equity
this looks so suspicious
but how can we fold TT?

there is a big difference between 'it looks suspicious' and 'i have a read that this is suspicious'.

if you have a read that he does this with monsters then fold.

if you dont, then stick it in and get ready to take a note.

no specific read on this guy but it does seem to be a general tendency on this limit


think about what he thinks is a 'trap'

he might look down at 88 or AT and think his hand is worth 'trapping'.

still, without a solid specific read im jamming every time.

I'm pretty happy to get it in with TT in that spot. Even if you had a read that he's a tricky player who likes to get creative, no way you can get away.

That too. In live games I saw one guy trapping (trapping me, cause I was shoving something near Nash and that apeard too loose for him) with ATo.
Other guy min-raised the button and almost said AHA when called my shove and turned KQs, just to realize he was behind my A3...

Online I saw one guy writing "I knew I would get him" after winning a 60:40 with AJ.

Just sharing some good memories :f_biggrin:
