I screwed up every postflop street

Opponent is 27/19 over 2500 hands with postflop aggression factors of 3.2/3.2/2.6 and a 33 went to showdown.

I should just check-raise the flop and if 3-bet or raised on the turn plan on a showdown absent another spade, right?

Lead the flop, lead the turn, lead the river. If he has a good spade he will let you know. If hes calling with some crap spade, thats how it goes sometimes.

why lead the flop as opposed to check-raise?

I was thinking he bets most anything on the flop and its "easier" for him to raise a flop lead than to 3-bet a flop check-raise with a big spade. Plus if he can 3-bet the flop CR, I have charged him 1 more sb for the "free card".

I feel I would have to call and check the turn if my flop donkbet is raised, would you play otherwise?

Check-raise the flop and go from there... this is not a board you want to be playing top pair slow on.

alta_chuttes · #5 08-14-2005, 08:27 PM

and showdown unless another spade comes, right. Same whether he 3-bets the flop or raises a turn lead?

Could you explain why check-raising is better than leading out or check-calling?

I lead the flop because I want 0 chance of a free card & I'm hoping to get raised & put 3 bets in on the flop.

PF: I'll toss this pf UTG
Flop: C/r the flop
Turn: Bet the turn, if he calls the flop c/r and turn bet, you're behind and can c/f the river
River: See turn play

K9 UTG 4-handed is also CO. I raise every time here 4-handed & expect to get a lot of really crappy players to call me with terrible hands because "its 4-handed"
