ajax on the button, play-along
 

SB is 27/1/.3 after 40ish hands
BB is standard at this level

fulltilt .25/50
Hero receives A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on the button

preflop: folds to hero, who raises. SB calls, BB Calls.
flop: 10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB bets, BB calls, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, BB folds, Hero ???

-----------------

Obviously, I continue with this hand. More in about an hour. Lunch time.

Re: ajax on the button, play-along
 

Against a SB that passive I think you are way behind. Think this is a safe time to call and fold the turn UI.

Re: ajax on the button, play-along
 

You have some decent backdoors, so I think you call this flop and fold the turn UI.

Re: ajax on the button, play-along
 

Call here, I think capping is definitely -EV.

Two lines:
1)Hero caps, bets turn and checks behind on the river

2) Hero calls, calls or folds turn (depending on card), and reevaluates on river.

What are some of the pitfalls of each line. Ultimately, which one would you choose and why?

edit: is that better reqtech?

I'm being a nit here, but hero doesn't c/c or c/f the river on your 2nd scenario. Otherwise, I agree with that. Call flop and fold turn UI.

Re: ajax on the button, play-along
 

I might call river if J or A hits. But yeah, I get your point. I edited accordingly.

OK here we go....

flop: 10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB bets, BB calls, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, BB folds, Hero calls.
turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
SB checks, Hero???

Re: ajax on the button, play-along
 

i think we should check behind here. he only benefits from this free card if he has a flush draw, but would he 3-bet the flop out of position with a flush draw? possibly, but i'd discount the chance.

more likely this guy's being a [censored] and wants to check raise you with 99/TT/AT/A9. with our outs, we will be forced to call it. so take your free card and hit your straight on the river. then raise the river sweetly, and stroke yourself.

Re: ajax on the button, play-along
 

I want to say "Bet. Charge his frush draw," but an agg factor of 0.3? I guess 40 hands is nothing, but this guy is still pretty clearly on the passive side. You have this guy's c/r%? I probably bet this like a chump and call the c/r.
