Do we like the open raise here? I've been having lots of success with it as of late, but do we think it is too loose?
the 3 players left to me have been pretty tight and thought I have bought lots of blinds at this table. Capping the flop standard? Or just call his 3 bet, c/c turn and c/f river?

1. Pre-flop open raise is standard at this level in my opinion.
2. I personally prefer to bet the flop and then call the raise back to me, with the intention of donk-betting a non- [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] turn. The basic reason is the one displayed in your post: on such a draw heavy board, there is plenty of potential that my opponent will freak out on the flop with a hand I'm still beating. I don't want to spew tons of bets with this marginal hand on the flop when the turn will likely give me a much better idea where I'm at (I'm fine check-folding to a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] turn for example) and where the flop bets can mean so many different things. I also really don't like to have to lead back this turn if the flop is capped holding only second pair. |
