What do you differently here? (there must be something)
Villian is DarthDonkey, he has been playing in these games a lot. He is weird, he'll complete the SB with AJ and then go apeshit with medicore hands sometimes.

capp the flop and lead the turn?
When you've 3betted OOP with a8o I think this is the perfect flop to hope for no? I wouldn't get too clever with a pair of 8s. |

Gabe,
Against this particular villain I would probably prefer betting the turn to checkraising the turn. In general, I think a good line against him might be to bet-call, bet-call, and bet-?? on the river. Also, was the other player in your 3-handed match a donk? Just curious about table selection. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Rob |

Neither of them were donkeys, but i felt like i had an edge. I was running poorly earlier in the session, and when i started getting the cards to change gears i felt like they were having some trouble adapting to my play.

3 bet flop and lead turn. Don't like to wait for turn to c/r cuz there are lots of scare cards that can hit

Re: What do you differently here? (there must be something)
What would you define a scare scard as? I have the best hand here almost all of the time, and he usually has something like 5 outs, although it's more if he has a flush draw. Anyway, i think after this action he is betting the turn almost 100% of the time here, i would love to get 2BB's in on a lot of cards here.

Re: What do you differently here? (there must be something)
Well, I personally would feel un-easy to c/r a heart, and any other card like K,Q,J would scare me a little, enough to lead and not c/r to open myself up for a 3-bet in a hand I know I'm going to showdown in. Also, by c/r you define your hand as atleast top pair or better so a lot of hands that might 3-bet your c/r put you at a tough decision and enable him to fold hands that you have crushed.

Re: What do you differently here? (there must be something)
I see you guys playing short in the Eurobet games all the time when they are pretty bad. A lot of times they are bad when it's full, too. Part of the key to moving up is doing so in games that won't swing you all over the god damn place. As far as your play in this hand, I think you played it well. Donkey is pretty aggro and it looks like here you snapped off a 3 bet for a free showdown play. FWIW it's highly unlikely that you have a significant edge(if any) over this particular player.
