View Full Version : How to lag it up and then exploit your image (nc)
Don't try this play at home unless you hate money.
FTP $3/$6 Hold'em - 6 max, 6 handed
Hero is Button with K /images/graemlins/club.gif Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif
UTG folds, MP raises, CO folds, Hero 3-bets, SB folds, BB folds, MP calls.
Flop (7.5sb): 7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif
MP checks, Hero bets, MP raises, Hero 3-bets, MP calls.
Turn (6.75bb): J /images/graemlins/club.gif
MP checks, Hero bets, MP raises, Hero 3-bets, MP caps, Hero calls.
River (14.75bb): T /images/graemlins/spade.gif
MP bets, Hero raises, MP calls.
Final pot: 18.75bb
The entire table erupts and berates me for being the worst fish in the history of poker. I laugh and tell Villian he sucks at teh poker. Very next hand:
Hero is CO with 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4 /images/graemlins/club.gif
2 folds, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero calls.
Flop (7.5sb): 4 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif
Let the capping begin.

Serious question:
Hand 1 - River is not a K, Q or T. Villian bets. What's your play?

I don't understand? The reason for betting so much on earlier rounds was based on the fact that a T was in fact coming on the river. LAG theory 101. If the river was not a T, I would have folded probably on the turn.

If you're looking for an answer that makes any sense whatsoever, I don't think you'll find it.

That's a good line.
These sorts of things are too risky and spewy. You'll get a lag image simply by raising J9s from mp. No need to go crazy.

This is true. I didn't post it as an example of good play. Attempts to analyze the benefits of this play would be giving me too much credit.

Seriously, even if you're trying to be a total moran, the turn 3-bet sucks. It doesn't do anything but put $$ in with the worst hand.
The idea of exploiting a table image is terrific, but there are much cheaper ways to do it. A lot of it can be pure chance opportunity - showing a bluff, making a seemingly 'loose' peel and hitting a gutshot, etc. You don't need to pay this much and hope you hit a set vs. a steaming player....it just won't work out often enough.

Once again I'll state that attempting to analyze the benefits of this play would be giving me too much credit. There is a "nc" in the subject line because this post was not intended to provide any sort of strategic content.

I thought nc meant 'nice catch' which is what your opponent said to you when the T hit on the river.

It might. I used it to mean no content.
