How to lag it up and then exploit your image (nc)
Don't try this play at home unless you hate money.
FTP $3/$6 Hold'em - 6 max, 6 handed Hero is Button with K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG folds, MP raises, CO folds, Hero 3-bets, SB folds, BB folds, MP calls. Flop (7.5sb): 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] MP checks, Hero bets, MP raises, Hero 3-bets, MP calls. Turn (6.75bb): J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] MP checks, Hero bets, MP raises, Hero 3-bets, MP caps, Hero calls. River (14.75bb): T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] MP bets, Hero raises, MP calls. Final pot: 18.75bb The entire table erupts and berates me for being the worst fish in the history of poker. I laugh and tell Villian he sucks at teh poker. Very next hand: Hero is CO with 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 folds, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero calls. Flop (7.5sb): 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Let the capping begin. |

Serious question:
Hand 1 - River is not a K, Q or T. Villian bets. What's your play? |

The reason for betting so much on earlier rounds was based on the fact that a T was in fact coming on the river. LAG theory 101. If the river was not a T, I would have folded probably on the turn. |

These sorts of things are too risky and spewy. You'll get a lag image simply by raising J9s from mp. No need to go crazy.

If the river was not a T, I would have folded probably preflop [/ QUOTE ] Seriously, even if you're trying to be a total moran, the turn 3-bet sucks. It doesn't do anything but put $$ in with the worst hand. The idea of exploiting a table image is terrific, but there are much cheaper ways to do it. A lot of it can be pure chance opportunity - showing a bluff, making a seemingly 'loose' peel and hitting a gutshot, etc. You don't need to pay this much and hope you hit a set vs. a steaming player....it just won't work out often enough. |
