Here's an example of what I'm talking about. I'm UTG with 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and openraise. Pooh-Bah sfer immediately 3bets me. WTF? So I cap him. Anyhow I flop bottom pair and come out betting. sfer raieses. I of course immediately 3bet and he caps. Turn is a blank so I feel I'm pretty safe and bet out. sfer only calls this time. Aha! I have him beat. River comes out third of a suit I bet. He raises. I think uh oh and call. He shows off his runner runner flush. Yuck.

I feel the pain... sfer has nabbed me before while I tried raising 72o UTG. Here's how you beat him.... when sfer 3-bets pf... don't cap. You must play this hand with some deception. Since you probably have him dominated, let him see the flop cheaply.

The flop probably didn't help him much, so I would just check-call the flop. A free card shouldn't help him much. Check-raise the blank on the turn, and sfer won't have sufficient pot-odds to call.

I think you're on the right track, but stick with your guns... If you only played 10 minutes on day 3, would you have run into this bad beat?
