Call and check the flop against the vast majority of opponents.

[ QUOTE ] Reraising to $20 is a really bad play. Raise to $30 to kill set odds. There's nothing I love more than raising ducks on the button and getting priced in for an inevitable stacking every 8 flops. [/ QUOTE ] Raising to $30: 1.8:1 odds. Raising to $20: 2.5:1 odds. Hitting a set: 7.5:1 odds. How are we pricing him out? Does your example deal with effective odds? [/ QUOTE ] I think it has to do with cutting down his implied odds. If hero makes it $30, villain has to put in $22 to call. Then if villain flops a set, the best he can do win the $9 in the pot + hero's $157 stack = $166. Putting in $22 to win $166 on a 7.5:1 shot is just about 0 EV. If hero doesn't get stacked every time or if villain puts more money in postflop with an unimproved pair, that's a clear -EV call. If hero only raises to $20, villain gets 166:12 implied odds, which puts hero in a tough spot postflop if villain starts showing agression on a ragged board. Does he have QQ or JJ or did he hit a set? If you fold the best hand, you lose a ton of value, but if you'll call off your whole stack with an overpair, you've given him good odds to hit a set with that preflop raise. If you make it $30 preflop, he can't call profitably even if he knows you'll just auto-push any flop. |

[ QUOTE ] Got to raise this more preflop, make it at least 30 with 3 limpers. A 3bet is going to pot commit you, You have to bet at least 150. That would put over 50% of your stack in the middle. OOP this is going to get ugly. All 3betting does is gets you committed versus a set and folds out hands you beat unless you put him on a draw. I don't see a flush draw doing this too often however. Given the fact he min-raised with a player waiting to act after him i'm probably folding. If you had raised more preflop however and gotten HU, i'm calling and check raising all in on the turn.

Re: KK blind defense...new line
That's kind of what I was figuring. So he'll stand to lose $22 7/8 times if he autofolds flop without set to Hero's jam, but he'll win Hero's stack 1/8 times when he gets the set? What about redraws, an Ace high flop, etc? Do we just not figure these because there are too many variables that nothing is certain?

Make a normal reraise to $22 or so.
