Re: Fun w/87s
The more I look at this, the less I like a check-raise. A 'normal' player isn't 3-betting the flop with TPGK and most would raise AQ -- so the most likely hands for the button are KQ, 77, 55 unless he's a real donk.
Getting 3-bet here would really suck, as I don't think he's putting 3-bets in with a hand we beat a lot of the time.
However, i'd have gone for the check-raise in the heat of the moment.
Let's see... we pick up, say 2.33 extra bets by c/r the river when we're good. (sometimes one or both the middle men will fold, but not often) We lose 1.75 bets (the majority of the time we're no good) when we get 3-bet. So, we have to be good or he won't 3-bet a better hand a bit over half the time. At 2/4 -- i'll take those odds.
Check-raise and pay off a 3-bet.
