Pocket 4s UTG - 2NL FR
Lower pairs are always a quandary for me in Early/Mid position. I generally don't feel like I can play them confidently enough - particularly against stronger opponents.
I didn't have PT running, but none of these players had played particularly well (in my opinion). Small raises, folding to re-raises and shoves with marginal hands at best. I had played roughly 20 hands at this table so far.
Pre-flop - I decided to limp in, not being in position or with a particularly high pair. From what I had seen of these other players JJ+, AQ+ would be the only hands they would raise PF with.
Flop - Got my set and judging by the small b/c from SB and the call from MP3, they had pairs at best. At this point, I believe putting them on A6+,JJ+,KQ, AK is a realistic assumption - please correct me if that seems wrong.
Turn - SB obviously doesn't have anything, but the raise from MP3 is substantial. I'm thinking he's possibly got pocket 9's - but I doubt it. Surely he would have raised the flop? More likely is that he has something like A9 and (being TPTK) is happy to put that amont of money in.
He only has $0.09 left at this point, so it's obvious what I should do.
Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
SB ($3.18)
BB ($0.78)
Hero (UTG) ($2.03)
UTG+1 ($1.57)
MP1 ($1.44)
MP2 ($0.71)
MP3 ($1.33)
CO ($0.72)
Button ($2.03)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with 4 , 4
Hero calls $0.02, UTG+1 calls $0.02, 2 folds, MP3 calls $0.02, CO calls $0.02, Button calls $0.02, SB calls $0.01, BB checks
Flop: ($0.14) 8 , 6 , 4 (7 players)
SB bets $0.06, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.12, 1 fold, MP3 calls $0.12, 2 folds, SB calls $0.06
Turn: ($0.50) 9 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.20, MP3 raises to $1.10, 1 fold, Hero ??
My question regarding this hand is whether my estimated ranges are accurate, given the few reads I have.
Also, I'm still debating whether I should have raised PF despite being OOP.
Any and all comments welcome.
