33 in ep

Wynton · #1 06-23-2005, 09:34 AM

I don't normally play 33 unless in lp, but I fell prone to the "this is my last hand of session so I'll do something unusual syndrome." Never a good idea. Guess I was hoping that villain had AK.

I'm not interested in comments about the river, because it seems like an obvious fold in retrospect. But what about the other streets?

in NL I bring this in for a raise. In limit, I'd rather muck this hand 6 handed rather than play it. When face calls fall, you're done unless you've hit a set. Is it extremely profitable to bring it in for a raise SH?

heads up, they are quite good. even as low as 22. Should be +ev to play pairs as low as 22 if you know how to play them... ep it's either a call in passive game and fold agro.

Are you serious?

Fold Preflop.

Fold to the flop 3-bet.

Fold the river.

Why did you raise the flop?

My intution which has been wrong before says limp in passive game and bring it in for a raise in an aggressive game.

Like I said, I usually muck this. But 2 factors led me to raise. First, I had a tight image (ok reason). Second, I was planning to leave after this hand (stupid reason).

But I certainly don't think limping was an option. To me, this was either raise or fold.

I asked why did you raise the FLOP, not preflop.

I thought it was possible I actually had the best hand on the flop. Even if I didn't, was it unreasonable to represent the best hand here by raising?

I can understand the argument for folding when the flop is 3-bet, though.
