Re: Three-Betting A9s and Other Silly Shenanigans

I figured a flop three-bet might open me up to a cap from an opponent with just a draw and overcards. I also wanted to see a blank turn before getting committed. I was happy to just check-fold a diamond turn without any further ado.

I probably routinely overplay these situations, but this is a pretty easy 3-bet for me. I'm not really worried about a cap since I'm generally ahead. I'm still leading pretty much any turn, especially the 80% that aren't diamonds.
The 3-bet and a turn lead will often fold out a single smallish diamond and I'd be happy to see overcards muck too.

I'm surprised at this. Since there's less than a 50% chance villian's got a diamond in his hand and the pot's giving you 6-1, I'd think a diamond on the turn would be a clear bet/fold.

Yeah, a little bit after I posted this I realized that the turn bet-fold is much better. One of the nice things about donking the turn is that we can represent a big diamond when villain doesn't have one.
