keeping em in on a scary board
 

terrible LAG (60/25/1.5) opens from the button, I call in the SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 70/15/1/45 wtsd calls in the BB

flop K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players, 3 BB)

I bet, BB calls getting 7-1, button raises, I call, BB calls getting 11-1

turn 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players, 6 BB)

I bet, BB folds, button raises, I 3-bet


I think it's ok to do this with KJ. is it ok to do it with AA?

Re: keeping em in on a scary board
 

I think it's definitely ok with KJ, I'm not sure about AA, but why wouldn't you 3-bet pf in either case? I can see the argument for just calling with each hand respectively but not both.

Re: keeping em in on a scary board
 

I don't get the preflop call. BB will call a 3-bet often and against 2 seemingly terrible players I don't see the point of being deceptive.

I don't get the flop call. You're letting BB call profitable with gut-shots and pairs.

EDIT: my comments are regarding AA...

Re: keeping em in on a scary board
 

I do not understand the preflop call, can you explain that?

after that, I think it's a fine line with both. your stop and go with a twotone board looks like a split pair of kings or jacks, so even a tag will raise this turn with as little as KQ.

Hey Josh,

Your hand is so misrepresented you have to 3-bet and call a cap IMO.

Preflop I really don't get as well. This is the ideal sort of player to 3-bet against because you'll often earn yourself a lot more action.

maybe on the last call he can, but overall he got 5:1 odds to see the turn so it's not like he's making money calling with those hands here.

This reasoning is flawed, right? He's not making money, but if we can put him in one more unprofitable situation we should, no?

absolutely, the tradeoff is to wait for the turn and possibly get 2bbs out of him.

I kind of combined 2 hands. I don't remember what happened preflop with KJ but I flopped top 2 against a LAG and the asme idiot in the BB. I might've called KJo from the BB against a LAG UTG or UTG+1 raise. both hands happened this morning and I think both had a KJ. I didn't remember what happened so I turned it into one hand, but the concept was the same. keep em in even if they could have outs because they probably don't. with AA I don't think the BB is folding anything with outs anyway, so I'd ratehr keep him in in the event that he has absolutely nothing
