Quick Problem

[J_V]

30/60. Laggy player raise in the hijack. You call in the bb w/ KQc.

Flop comes 9-7-3. You check and fold?

This hand feels stupid. What do I do differently?

I can't give a good range of hands this player would raise from here as I didn't have stats on him, but KQ certainly has some of them beat.

This guy plays pretty well post flop.

How would you play Q9 on this flop or 76 or A3? Does opponent have any clue about how you might play those?

4.5:1 on the flop call. floating one oop doesn't help if the guy doesn't play poorly. you'll probably have a hard time taking him off of A high if the board blanks. you're 6 outs will likely be good and you have a bd nut straight draw but it really depends on the opponent here.

how does he respond to a C'R here.

i oftentimes would call a HJ open raise with something like K9s & c'r this flop or top pair flops or draw flops.

if he's seen you do this only w/ top pair i think this is a pretty clear c'r bet turn and take it down there.

but if you have no stats on him and he none on you you should probably have taken the lead preflop. i like 3 betting here preflop actually vs. a lag. ESPECIALLY since you have a surprising # of his hands in a lot of trouble here.

PS- stop sucking out

[Bartholow]

Yeah, I 3-bet preflop. Players of his description are particularly good to do this against, they become much more likely to just fold later.

3-betting makes the flop much easier to play.

damn! If only J_V knew this flop was going to come he could've 3 bet preflop and made this so much easier... but would it really be easier?

[Nate tha' Great]

3-bet preflop.

[J_V]

Yes. This is clearly the only correct reply.

Don't you think if I knew this, I'd be able to figure out the answer?
