Re: Thoughts about Hand 1
[ QUOTE ]
Given the way it played out, this looks to be an EASY river check/raise. Why?
1) The villian is very aggressive.
2) She probably has a hand worth betting the river with after she bets the turn. If her hand ins't worth betting, it probably isn't worth a call the way the hand went down. So her checking behind might not be that bad since I might not get called by 99 if I bet there.
3) My hand figures to be good in this spot as her most likely hand is AQ or AJ or something along those lines. These hands will both bet and pay off a raise.
So that is what I did. How it all went down in white below.

This hand got me thinking about both my weakness as a player and how other players don't adjust to my playing style. A lot of new players will look at this hand and say, "Raise you idiot, you have trips!" I flopped a monster and gave her virtually no action just because she 3-bet me preflop. Had she not 3-bet preflop, I would have been putting in many more bets.
How much merit do you think there is in floating preflop with that hand? Do you think that this is a viable play against someone who will "shutdown" when 3-bet if they hold something like AJo/KJs/AQo/TT...?

I think this pretty much depends on what she thinks of you, obviously. If she knew you respected her 3-bets and were non-retarded I think there's at least some merit to it.
However she would also run the risk of having you slow down whether she 3-bets or not, (for instance, if you had TT instead of KJ on this flop), so she would just be passing up pre-flop value by simply calling.
I would probably be capable of pulling a stunt like that against you, but I wouldn't do it in this situation unless the players behind me were super tight and or super solid. (Then again, I'm a fancy boy.)
