pre im folding 100% of the time, even at normal 6 max, let alone zoom. On that flop i dont mind check calling or check raising, or even donk betting to induce a raise.

I"m betting about $1.50 here, looking to keep villain interested as he appears to have a piece of this (poss even KQ). Obv hoping he thinks he"s ahead and going to do the raising for us  ;)

You have to bet here - I agree 2/3 pot seems right, the st8 could look pretty well hidden due to the flop C/R.

No need for cleverness - Bet and keep betting.not really that fussed in about giving him wrong odds to call with draws or anything I just want to build pot and get the money in - he pays you off with nearly anything he"s holding now

I"m in favour of an overbet here to feign a bit of weakness.  Suspect he"s tied to  Kc Qh /  Ac Kh type hands.

My thoughts also - I"m definitely betting closer to pot than half pot.

Villain is either going to continue, or he isn"t - 60% to 80% pot is not suddenly going to change the range of hands he"ll continue with, so go for as much value as you dare.

In earlier news. Fold pre. Yes people will min-raise open light in Rush/Zoom. But I"ll still give credit to an UTG raise.

Check-call the flop, check-raising is horrible imo - throwing away all your implied odds. The only upside is you"re stopping him firing a second barrel with JJ or worse, if someone is doing that at 5c/10c then good for them - I"d rather call and spike (that"s if I"ve not folded pre)

I dont think check raising is horrible (but then you have to be prepared to play for stacks, because folding after u have CR is not great) I actually prefer check raising, rather than check calling, then check folding brick turns.

Excellent responses guys.

I actually led the turn for $2 and he folded. I think I should have folded pre though. However I played the whole hand badly but discussing hands where you know you have made errors in very useful imo.

Still trying to think of something amusing to write in this bit.

This

If he is going to call a bet after your C/R, and the 9 hitting he"ll call one of any size. so make it massive!





Oh! and fold pre!
