Flop plan?

Entity · #1 08-09-2005, 09:12 PM

The first coldcaller appears to be a major lag (he's been playing more passively than his stats, which peg him as a complete maniac, so I'd put him somewhere in between maniacal and superLAG) 3-bettor is a solid TAG who may think I've been raising a bit light as I've been getting some solid starting hands. Other player (SB) is unknown.

Call and see what happens. We have the 2nd nut flush draw, but the possibility of A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] scares me.

I don't see any value in raising.

EDIT: 10/20 now? Thought the 5/10 swings were toasting you.

Nah. The swings are still there, as they always will be (especially for someone who plays a high volatility style), but I've been pretty happy with my run at 5/10 and have decided to slowly give 10/20 a shot.

I realized that stopping the action where I did made it seem like a pretty easy call (which I think it was). I changed the post.

I'm seeing the action when it is two back to you . . .

I don't like capping and I think folding is absurd, so calling is easy.

I agree.. easy call.

id fold. there is a high likelyhood this is going to be capped behind you. all of your outs are almost probably tainted and you have ace high.

He has the second nut flush draw and a gutshot to the nut straight if there's no flush out there. I'm not willing to concede that, in an aggressive game, we're drawing dead here. The turn will be tricky, but facing a future tricky decision isn't enough to dump this here, IMHO. Even if it is capped behind Hero's getting enough to see the turn.

Cap with position and call out of position. You should be doing the capping yourself, even if you know that someone else will cap for that slim chance that they all check to you. OOP that can't happen so just call.

Catt - Your play is ultra weak & I can't believe anyone at these forums would suggest folding here.
