Default Re: Blind war w/ a 2+2\'er

I think the easiest thing u can do that helps in these siutations a lot, is to keep control.

On the flop, Id either bet/3bet (which most of the time allows u to put in the last bet) or c/r then cap. Of course, if he then has the gusto to raise your turn bet with a worse hand, marginal, better hand...then u have a situation, in which u have to go with what u know. If he raises u on the turn, could be a free showdown/pressure play, in which if u call he should be checking a good amount of hands behind on the river. So say he does raise your turn and u know if u call his turn raise he will only ever bet hands on the river that have u crushed, then u can actually fold (unlikely to happen, but with some reads, u never know). If thats not the case u are probably stuck with a 2 bet desicion if u call the turn. Also, if a flush card hits, he could very well check behind, or u can bet it as a bluff (he might call u often though)

As it was played, flop is okay...Id probably give it another bet...turn is okay, hes almost always betting...river just c/c. He probably believes he is betting for value at that point, also u probably will not get a bet on a worse hand. KQ, A-high...maybe on a look up, or if he belives u have a busted draw. But you gotta remember, this guy is a value better, as are most 2+2ers...so with your action he may value bet both worse and best hands, while calling/raising your river bet with only the best.
