Couldn't connect to euro...AA 3/6 on stars vs super nits

CanKid · #1 08-23-2005, 12:47 PM

Only had 200 on my stars account so I hopped into a tight/crappy 3/6 morning game. These guys don't give much action, but I felt like hanging around and getting some SH practice vs. nits.

I think you need to bet the flop. It's unlikely that anyone caught an 8 and you don't want to give infinite odds to the flush draw. I would raise the turn for the same reason.

Am I way off?

I think your flop check stinks. The pot is already 8 bets. Do what you can to win the big pots right away.

Bet, Bet, Bet. Bet to protect. Bet for value. Bet to win the pot......

You have to bet here, especially with a flush draw out there.
The free card is a perfect opportunity for someone to not only outdraw you but to pick up a profitable draw on turn.

there must be a reason for you checking the flop.

Reasoning behind the flop check? You really give someone that much credit for the 8 that you don't wanna throw a bet out there? I'd say bet this 100% of the time.

I see your reasoning behind the check (paired board = no 5 outers, so why not induce bluffs or let people catch a second best, or even save bets) but I would rather check the turn heads up than check the flop with many potential callers.

righto

I was planning to check raise a flop bet, which I thought I'd get from most PPs, flush draws, a 5, and an 8. Most guys in this game would 3-bet an 8, and I could slow down to a crawl for pretty cheap, but my real intention was maximizing and inducing some action, not to save bets.

I also thought if the flop checked through, and I bet any turn, I'd look like a steal, which might get looked up alot lighter than they would had I bet flop/turn in sequence.

Just feelin it out..
