Final Pot: 13 BB

I know I defend too much but this PF call seemed nobrainer to me cuz I was the one to close out action. And IMO most ppl in 1/2 dont know you should raise with AQ/JJ or better at UTG+1 so I didnt give him credit for big pair.

I thought I was fav to hit the draw so I capped the flop despite of knowing he proly wouldnt give a free card.

Any thoughts?

This isn't blind defense. There's also no other way to play this--your equity is huge.

Fold the flop. All of your outs are at the bottom of the deck; the dealer told me.

Define huge. Heads up I'm not sure we have the &gt;50% required to cap the flop. It looks like he has a hand three-betting the flop, and if he even has a pair we're behind.

9 clubs, 3 queens, 3 sevens, and 3 dirty jacks. We're still below 50%. I call the flop three-bet since it's heads up. Three people I'm going to town. Any reason this is wrong?

Depends on if he 3-bets TPTK. We're around 52% if the villain's range is
TT 88 44 AT T8 T4 84

It improves slightly if we remove T4 and 84 as he may not call with that. We're under 50% if he doesn't 3-bet TPTK.

So not huge, and given that i'm 0 for a lot today on advice I should probably be ignored anyway [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
