Default Re: A draw in a big pot...56s...

if you get heads up i think there are two reasons why to 3-bet it. the more important is that you have a pot equity edge. this alone justifies a 3-bet. and i believe that you create some fold equity at the turn with a 3-bet. i dont think he will fold AK or AQ, but he might have AJ or AT or maybe even JJ or something like that.

if he doesn't cap it i would bet no matter the turn card (unless you think he is a kind of player who will call the turn bet very close to 100% of the time). even if you think he will fold only about 5% of the time a bet would be worth it (my calculations at this point a rough, especially because its late here in europe, but i hope and think that is correct anyway).


all this is hypothetical of course, because we agree that a check raise on the flop is the best play. but nevertheless very interresting.
