Default Re: Blind Battles: Hand #2

This is a similar situation to your other post except the pot is a little bigger. Still, if you call the flop and check to him on the turn, the pot will have 4BB in it. If he bets with a 6 outer there you should be very happy about it. Even if he plays the river absolutely perfectly and you always pay him off he is only getting 6 to 1 on his turn bet which is not enough. If he will sometimes fire a third barrel with a worse hand, that is even better. If you show any aggression at any point you will only make him fold hands that you would rather him have kept betting with while opening yourself up to punishment of some sort from him in the form of him often forcing you to either make an expensive call down or to fold the best hand.

Sometimes you will eke out some extra value when he just calls down with a worse hand, but taking the lead with this hand is not my idea of a good time. Of course and as always I may be dead wrong. What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Cartman
