I wouldn't make this call preflop and would call his 3-bet.

preflop is good if they are fish.

flop is a megaeasy cap.

You should probably fold preflop but flop play is fairly standard.

Re: I got berated at the table for this......
 
I think this is a fine play. you might just call the third bet and wait to see if you improve on the turn. Your opponent's 3rd bet means that he's probably got the goods and will at least call you down unless he's on a draw, but unless you have some reads on this guy, he's got a hand. I personally like this play more when you dont have top pair because that way when the other person is betting a better top pair, you are actually ahead by a bit. In this case, if he has A7, that kills 3 of your outs and you're behind. Anyway, the play is fine and you're still ahead of an overpair. The decision between calling the 3-bet and capping really depends on your read on this guy and what you want your table image to be.

Re: I got berated at the table for this......
 
The preflop call is not always terrible, it depends on the nature of your opponents. Good play postflop, without question. If you win the pot at showdown and villain berates you, don't educate him. My favorite response is "What's a flop?" (or turn, or check-raise, or whatever).

plz cap flop every time, thanks. I'm not playing that preflop, think that's awfully weak.

I think you're overcompensating PF. Don't let the LAGs on this forum push u around. Flop is standard.

Preflop is a stretch, should be folding there, but it's not a big mistake.

like it says in sshe, a weak preflop play can be made up for by strongf postflop play. I like how you played it. actually, I'm kinda surprised you played this PF since I think your one of the tighter players on this board. cool

Seeing as you got berated, I will assume you won the hand with the flush, but regardless, I like the flop cap.

Re: I got berated at the table for this......
 
I would fold prelfop. But its probably not that much of a mistake, if it is one (against certain players this is probably +EV)

Easy cap on the flop

I just reread the hand.

I thought it was heads up when you capped.

Still, 3 way, the cap is probably close to neutral ev or slightly -EV. (you are getting 2-1 on your money, and 1.9-1 to come in... but that assumes you win 100% of the time you hit a flush)

brazilio 04-25-2005 09:42 PM

Re: I got berated at the table for this......
 
Then cap and take your possible free turn. I think calling the 3-bet is by far the worst option, either check/call the flop because people aren't going to have much incentive to stay in, or cap it when it gets 3-bet and he's got position.

PBob and I are discussing when we know he has a straight 100% of the time he 3-bets.

I say the cap is very close to neutral EV or slightly -EV in that spot.

evilganz 04-25-2005 10:57 PM

Re: I got berated at the table for this......
 
Easy cap, with a favorite to improve to 2 pair or better. Sure, sometimes they have a bigger flush draw, but so what? You're ahead of aces! And if someone has a set, there's less risk than usual of the board pairing to make both your hands (since the 7D is already spoken for), which removes one of your disaster scenarios.

If you're not capping this, you're either playing scared, or need to bone up on your odds.

Harv72b 04-26-2005 12:00 AM

Re: I got berated at the table for this......
 
If anyone even considers not capping the flop 3-handed with TP+flush draw, they need to reevaluate their choice of hobbies. Just my opinion, but hey...

Re: preflop call. I play fairly loose preflop, especially from LP, but this is a hand I would fold unless I was up against some very bad opponents. From the button I might/maybe limp it behind 2 limpers, but I don't really like it from the CO. I'm just not a big fan of suited 3-gappers, especially when the top card is only a jack. I don't think it's a terrible limp, and the postflop play certainly justifies limping a borderline hand from LP, but it's not a call I'd usually make.

TStoneMBD 04-26-2005 12:14 AM

Re: I got berated at the table for this......
 
ishmael, there are 2 players in the hand.

if it was heads up and you knew the opponent had a straight, you would not cap the flop unless you could get a free card a reasonable amount of time.

however, 3 handed, if you knew both of the opponents hands and saw that your pot equity is 33%, you could cap just for the hell of it while your equity would be neutral.

in the long run, top pair with a jack high flush draw has far more than 33% equity in a 3 way pot. that is why you cap. not only are you building equity but you are also positioning yourself for a free card.

Im aware of this.

My contention is that he doesnt have a 33% equity when he KNOWS that villian has a straight.

If the 3rd party has nothing bad a BD flush:

equity (%) win (%) / tie (%)

Hand 1: 35.0683 % [ 00.34 00.01 ] { Js7s }
Hand 2: 58.2687 % [ 00.54 00.04 ] { 4h3d }
Hand 3: 06.6630 % [ 00.03 00.04 ] { As3h }

The cap is +EV, slightly.

The problem I see is that like 5% of the time (5 = estimate... I dont know the real number), PBob has like 0 EV in this hand, because the third party has a bigger flush draw.

Also, we dont know if the other villian isnt "slowplaying" a set. This could be like 3% of the time or so. This cuts into our equity as well.

A flush draw is what, 1.9-1? That means, that for the cap to be +EV (when we KNOW there is a straight out there) then we have to win a very large portion of the time our flush gets there.

(of course, we have a BD full house draw to help)

Again, this is the portion of the thread where villian shows us a straight.

Capping is megaeasy without being shown the straight.

The flop is standard as far as I am concerned.

What exactly did they berate you for?

Raising preflop would have been really manly.

Raise preflop. Beat a flopped straight with a rivered flush. Hilarity ensues.

When the turn hit, UTG typed in "I think you capped your draw", and then folded. After the hand he said, "Keep capping your draws." I giggled.
