So you can't really bet-fold.<br />Bet-call may be the best line. $15 still seems about right.Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181215527323378978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13519202.post-42794166584555179482009-08-20T11:41:05.530-07:002009-08-20T11:41:05.530-07:00I can't bet fold can I? as Villain only has ar...I can't bet fold can I? as Villain only has around $23 behind.

So the only hands you should be worrying about here are 55 and 77. I probably bet $15 or so and fold to a raise.noldmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632933577001519894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13519202.post-92139452349582407122009-08-20T09:49:32.550-07:002009-08-20T09:49:32.550-07:00There's a lot of value in betting here.

While a raise from the villain would suck, I think you could find a fold.Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181215527323378978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13519202.post-38226215552688839132009-08-20T08:24:30.766-07:002009-08-20T08:24:30.766-07:00I'd go for the bet/fold line.

Since he's generally passive, you can be sure that you're beat if he raises. <br /><br />That being said, you don't want to let Villain check-down a worse hand.<br /><br />I had the same spot last night against a similar opponent. I checked OOP and Villain checked behind with a worse hand that would have called a small value bet.Klopzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601491246369039505noreply@blogger.com
