Hey guys
I am a new $2 NLHE player and am currently below break even. I am doing a review of some of my hands and will post the details here for your help and analysis.
This is the first of the lot:
So the player UTG opens with a 3.5x raise which he normally does when he plays a hand. I am more of a min raiser (2.5x). Action all fold, I have position and suited cards so I decided to peek the flop. Flop is a nice TPOK but also a juicy FD.
Villian cbets little more than pot and I am not sure how to interpret it. Is it miss and cbet or value? Meanwhile I have a good hand and 9 outs to a monster so I re-raise/semi bluff to define my hand (so I've read ).
Now here is the tricky part (and a very common scenario I'm sure), Villian shoves All in with his 118 BBs
So what should I do here? Given the limits I am inclined to call considering I have a decent hand and good outs if I'm behind. On the other hand the shove is way too big for the pot and adds a lot of risk. Plus the villain seems like a tight player ( but only ~30 hands).
Let me know how the pros analyse this situation
