Flop:Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
i bet, he calls.

turn 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
i bet, he raises, i ?

he's in position, so I can just delete the first "he checks" part from each street and get the action correct?

yes i was being stupid

Re: AJ 75/150 hand vs Baronzeus
 

I'd probably just call down. You could probably call and donk / fold the river. I wouldn't 3 bet. Too often he's just using his position to make you miserable with a weak hand. Just don't fold.

I think I'd call and donk the river (calling a raise)

having never played 75/150 and only knowing baron from his posts here (which tend to involve him aggressively pushing a small edge, he's a pretty decent handreader) I would say call down and not worry about him pulling a free showdown on you too often, at least not with anything he'll call a river bet with. he'll definitely value bet a lot from what I've read of him

the other option is to 3-bet but I like to go into an action with a plan for all their possible reactions, and I don't know whether or not I'd fold if he capped, or raised a heart river, or raised a blank river. thoughts from anyone on that would be appreciated

Also note that I'm running really bad on absolute at this point. Like really, really bad.


Edit: I'm saying this to say that I might be tilting a bit and may pull random [censored]. I'd 3bet me in this spot, since I usually have a weaker ace.

I was actually just going to suggest the opposite. Your bad streak has humbled you considerably and you went from ultra-aggressive to just normal (judging by your posts at least). This could easily mean a bigger hand than AJ. Calling down is better regardless of the site.

Well, I was only running bad on AP, and it definitely makes me far more aggressive.

hi guys,

this is an easy 3 bet. QQ AQ AA AK gets capped preflop, and he doesnt have 77, so theres really not too many hands we are losing to.

Re: AJ 75/150 hand vs Baronzeus
 

3-bet... you're behind A7, A4, 44 and nothing else. you're ahead of a huge number of hands.

EDIT: nevermind. i highly doubt he has 77.

id fold pf, then open fold the flop, check the turn and sneakily raise the river. happy holidays.

I called down and baron had A4

Re: RESULTS
 

calling down is almost always the play.

Re: RESULTS
 

I think baronzues may make this play with a wide variety of aces. Do you put him squarely on A4 or A7 here?

I guess calling down makes more against a random bluff but if baron is playing ok he will probably just give up on the river if his turn raise is called.

I really like a 3 bet .

See, I definitely agree with you against a normal person. Almost is correct.

This is baronzeus. This is a weak ace A LOT. I'm 3-betting his ass all day here.

Re: RESULTS
 

Woohoo, Baronzeus and I and a bunch of other ppl think alike. I say 3-bet also.
