I would have capped the flop and the river.

What range of hands are you putting BB on? Is he tight, loose, unknown?

If he's tight and/or passive normally, I call that river rather than raise.

Without any reads/info, I like your play.

Got to cap the river. You are only losing to AA,JJ, and AJ

He more likely has AK/AQ

Fiddler · #5 10-22-2004, 10:24 AM

Cap the flop, the rest looks fine to me. I hope he had AK and not JJ.

I play it the same way. Your flop raise is great, because you're betting your flush draw for value as well as possibly buying a free card. When you're three bet, you can go into check/call until your card comes, since you have position and are sure to get action.

Well played.

That is weak thinking that, while not lose you money, will cause you to make less money in the long-term.

You're joking, right? Why throw money away like that? The 3-bet screams top pair to me.

Why slow down when 3-bet on the flop? He has the gutshot as well as a flush draw, for twelve outs to the winning hand (barring an unlikely flush over flush). With two opponents in for three bets and certain to call the cap, the last bet is definitely for value, and brings back the possibility of a free card. Capping this flop is SOP for me.
