AQ and a great opponent at 6-max
Assume we have no reads on villains, how do you play this?
PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, SB calls, BB calls. Flop: (12 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, SB calls, BB calls. Turn: (12 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB caps</font>, Hero ? Now, let's say that in this session, SB has: Called PFR in BB w 77, then bet every street with a AJ2AT board Raised PF w K7o Capped PF w A9o, then bet into PF raiser every street w JTK2T board Raised PF from SB w Q5o, got re-raised PF, then bet flop and turn, and 3 bet river on a 97T45 board BB just sat down, no reads. Now how do you play it? Comments appreciated. |
Re: AQ and a great opponent at 6-max
According to your reads I like the way you played it against SB.
BB scares the hell out of me. All those calls then a cap. I don't think we beat him very often. |
Re: AQ and a great opponent at 6-max
I would have slowed down after the 3-bet on the flop against an unknown and called down. Top pair's good and all, but you're pushing a little too hard here.
EDIT: Ahh, SB is a bit nutty. I guess your betting is fine then. BB jumping out of nowhere though means we're pretty much cooked... |
Re: AQ and a great opponent at 6-max
Call down the first 3-bet. No need to go agro and put yourself in a bad spot.

Re: AQ and a great opponent at 6-max
Did you want an answer to both with reads and without? Here is my line minus reads:
I think you have to slow down on the turn. I would probably call down though. |

[/ QUOTE ] It did scare me, but we're getting over 10:1 odds and he may just have 2 big spades. Call, and call one on the river sound OK, or do we fold somewhere? |
Re: AQ and a great opponent at 6-max
You've pretty much committed yourself to a showdown. Call and hope the river action isn't crazy.

Re: AQ and a great opponent at 6-max
just an aside question: you're capping preflop based on your "numbnuts" read of SB right? i don't cap in 6-max with this hand, but want to make sure i'm not missing something.
as far as the hand goes: i'm not capping the flop. continuation betting is one thing, 3-betting is something else. i'll probably see showdown base on pot size unless another [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] comes out i guess [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] |

Typically I would not cap it. |

[/ QUOTE ] I think you gotta call teh turn, he may only have 2 pair so you have outs, or he may have a pair and picked up a flush draw. I would call 1 on teh river, not more than that. It looks as though BB has us beat on the turn. I'm curious what he had. |
