Overplaying high PP?
Been running bad, perhaps tilting a bit the last week.
First hand: 3/6 average game, no real reads other than SB who seems TAG ish. JJ in the BB, MP calls, SB raises, I 3 bet, called around. Flop comes TQK rag SB checks, anyone bet here given the pflop action? I bet, and think I should have checked. MP calls, CO raises, SB 3 bets. Is this a clear fold? Second hand. CO just sat down, is unknown. AA in the BB. CO limps SB folds, I raise CO calls Flop: Q95. I bet, CO calls Turn: 2 I bet, CO raises. Call and chk-call to showdown? 3 bet and fold to a cap? I personally like the latter... |

Re: Overplaying high PP?
Hand 1 is an easy fold. Well played.
Hand 2 I usu 3 bet the turn. edit: woops, missed the draw. I don't like checking after 3-betting this flop, but I guess its feasible. |

Re: Overplaying high PP?
At the time (for hand 1) I kept thinking pot is big, I'm behind, but can improve, but might split. My J outs are filthy, my opponents probably have at least 1 if not more of my A or T outs. If I call here, I pretty much have to call down because the pot will be so damn big.
Results, if they matter: I called. Turn was a blank. SB bet out, it got called around. River paired the T. I know I'm dead, but can't bring myself to fold it cause the pot is huge.. MP had 9T, CO had KQos, SB had AJ for the flopped nut str8. Hand 2 I called the raise and called down to be shown Q9s. I looked at that flop and couldn't bring myself to believe that someone would limp in with Q9, suited or not..I thought a set, maybe, but Q9? |

Re: Overplaying high PP?
Hand 1 - I say bet out the flop. I think it's a pretty marginal decision because you're not going to fold out a better hand or increase your odds of winning whether you c/c, or b/c. I like a bet to build the pot because you'll get some serious action if you make your straight on the turn or river.
When it's 3 back to you this is a clear call. Even if you discount your 8 straight outs to, say 6, because of the possibility of a chop, you're getting somewhere around 10-1 pot odds on this call which is more than enough. Hand 2: Calling and c/c the river is so weak tight it makes me want to slap myself. 3-bet... maybe fold to the cap. I don't think you're going to get capped most of the time but (depending on the read) the smallish pot size would probably merit a fold. |

Re: Overplaying high PP?
I may have counted wrong, but on hand one it looks like its 18 bets and two to you, giving you 9 to 1. It looks like a call. You may be drawing thin if sb has AJ, but sb may have kqo, k10, q10. I think I'm seeing another card though. And you definitely should bet there, and not check.
On hand two I three bet the turn. If its capped I check call. If its called and the river isn't a disastrous card, I lead. |

[/ QUOTE ] this happens to me too, but with the sb being a tag, if i don't hit the turn, and he leads again, I am gone. |

T-AG = Tight AGgressive player (someone who plays selectively but with vigor)
It is what we all aspire to be. |
