You're afraid the LAG has exactly JT? I'd 3bet it.

What if he caps?

edit: remember: this LAG aint no dummy.

Unless i'm missing something here, the only hand that beats you is JT. Villain could have AA, QQ, AQ, etc. Why fear the JT? Re-raise.

It's too bad you couldn't IHC this hand, I would've voted for it. It's not such an easy 3-bet. I don't think a LAG, thinking or not, plays QQ this way. I can't really see a LAG calling the turn with an A with the intention of raising the river either. In my mind that leaves JT and AQ as the most likely, and maybe an oddly played AK or set. I think in the heat of it I would 3-bet, but really hate when I get capped.

Like others have said 3-bet the river. You only lose to JT and th play of the LAG is more in line withh a big A holding.

By the way; What is your reason for betting the flop? With a drawing hand like that I would have checked, being certain that the LAG would bet it. I would then have called if sb had folded, check-raised if sb had called the UTG bet.

SB was looooooose and there was a good chance he would coldcall UTG's almost certain raise so i thought the flop bet was thinly for value.

OK but I still prefer my line on the flop [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

This is a very interesting hand. Preflop hasn't been discussed. I think that your call is marginal with one coldcaller. The flop can be played in different ways and even if I think that you have a 3-bet on the river it is by no means a certainty.

I'd like to see more opinions on how to play this hand and I'm interested in the results.

Little extra info: Shant and I had a short talk about this hand. IMO if Villain 3-bets the turn the river is an easy cap.

Elbie · #10 06-03-2005, 04:03 AM

I agree.
