Default Re: Min-raise on scary board....

I think Im folding here....

Often when I see a miniraise it normally means "Ive got a monster come along for the ride please or come right over the top of me".....

But anyway lets break it down more.....

What could your opponent call your initial raise with that could beat you here......AA/AK/88/33/A8/A3/or any two suited connectors (clubs)

Now I would presume they dont have AA or AK as there was no raise from your opponent or reraise so we can put them out of the picture... but all the rest are quite feasable hands thaat your opponent could hold...Even with just one club in there hand they are on a good draw to beat you......

IMO I wouldnt want to go to war with only a TPGK with that board there are just too many possibiltys that have you beat at the minute..... I woud rather save my chips and wait for a better spot to build my stack..

Also you cant really reraise or push at this point because if your opponent does only have one Club then you are giving your opponent the correct odds to call.... which is bad.....

If you really didnt want to fold the only option would be to call this raise then push the turn if no club appeared but again this is very risky especially early on in the tournament and as already stated you opponent could very well have a made flush already at this point...and put you out of the tournament...

So all in all I would fold here I wouldnt want to risk my tourament life on TP and I m sure there will be better spots later on in the tournament to build a stack

Default Re: Min-raise on scary board....

Wasn't a ring game...the converter messed it up. . it was a 2.50 sng

Original Post:
I folded.

I don't see any hands raising me that I am beating....I doubt he would raise middle pair here...

Only hands that I see raising are a set (aces probably since every idiot loves to limp aces utg), a better ace then mine (weird limp though) or a made flush...

mcobbs09 is on a distinguished road

Default

When someone raises the minimum i think they either have a really good hand and is tryn to trap me or they are just scared they can be beat.
