Default One for Boom Boom

5 handed Party 20/40.

I raise UTG with Qc Jh, folded to the button who 3-bets, blinds fold and I call. The button has stats in the neighborhood of 30/8/1.5 and sat down when it was 3 handed, if that reveals anything. His postflop tendencies are unknown to me.

Flop is Js Jc 4h. I bet, he raises, I call.

Turn is a 9. I bet, he raises, I 3-bet, he calls.

River is a 5. I bet, he calls.

I don't see what's uber standard about it. I definitely like your line, but if he's only raising 8% of the time preflop, we could start to infer that he might not raise the turn with AA/KK but would call down a turn c/r. also is he more likely to raise your turn bet if you c/call the flop?

anyways, nice hand, but I hope there's some discussion

You're lucky he had an overpair this time.

You get more bets out of AK and TT this way too, IMO.

There was a thread about this, and I think you get more bets by check/calling, then betting the turn.

It could be a limit difference. I've found that in general, when I get 3-bet preflop, I often get another raise out of a hand by donking the flop and the turn. It could be a sample size issue though, as I've only been hitting the 5/10 for around 42k hands (and that's about as long as I've been using this line frequently).

Dunno about that. I caught that thread a couple days ago and have been experimenting with this line.

I think Alobar said it best...something along the lines of "Once your opponent decides you're full of crap, it's hard for him to change his mind." Against an aggressive opponent (which was a key condition in the other thread) the easiest way to accomplish that is to bet the flop. When you bet the flop, they don't believe you (prolly cuz LAGs bet into paired boards all the time and they "know" what you're doing).

Against a passive opponent, your line might be best.
