1$ 2$ nl holdem full table game with 120$ in front of you, you are dealt , you come in for a limp, and the button who has been playing tight raises you to 6$, you call, just you and the button go to the flop. The flop is . Now lets say you check and the button bets 25$ at you what do you do here, or lets say you bet out around 10$, and are raised to 60$ what is your move in this hand? 1$ 2$ not big enough for u, then 10$ 20$ or 100$ 200$ same scenario.

Live play is different than a tourney. For this reason in live play I wouldn't commit a lot or all of my stack with this pocket and board. While you have a lot of outs to make a few different hands it's still a drawing hand. If it's a tourney, I might just push all-in.

I would put them on a set and fold.

At the levels I play, I would think there would be better places to make chips. At a cash game or a tourney, I'd get out.


(late in a tourney I may do something different, depending on the situation)

Flopping nothing better than an open ended straight draw and your opponent raises double the size of the pot? Easy fold every time isn't it?

Personally I shove hoping for a fold. Unless he has his set or a bigger flush draw you are the favorite to win (and even if he does you aren't much of a dog).

I'd be willing to play now. I like my chances a lot better. As Fink said you my be behind, but not as much as with that other flop.

I'll put down my thinking and then you can maybe tell me where my thoughts are lacking.
Opponent is ahead with AJd(2 high diamonds) JJd, TT (77) With other likely holdings it looks fairly even or I'm a bit behind.
I'd be wondering if my opponent would overbet the flop with a draw.
It's possible he's raising from the button with lesser holdings - maybe he's hit TP or 2 pair even?(unlikely)
We know he's tight.

If I was bankrolled to be playing a cash game at $1/$2 I'd re-raise.

I fold. I won't put my whole stack on a draw.
