Blind Battles: Hand #7
Villain is a tough, solid, tricky player. he doesnt 3bet from the blinds much unless he has a good hand. He loves taking hands to the showdown against you so if you checkraise the flop hes often calling down with ace high unless the board gets scary for him. if you checkraise the turn he may or may not fold ace high but will often 3bet a strong pair against you.
Everyone folds to hero in the SB who raises 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], BB 3bets, Hero calls. Flop is 4s Js 3c Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls. (Raising is better?) Turn is a 3c Hero checks, BB bets |

Re: Blind Battles: Hand #7
I like a turn checkraise here, it would be hard for him to 3 bet you without the 3 or a set. And since presumably he can't rule out a 3 for you I think you probably have enough folding equity.

Re: Blind Battles: Hand #7
when i say strong pair i mean JJ+ btw. i think anyone who 3bets a weaker pair then that is crazy unless its a freeshowdown move.

[/ QUOTE ] No I saw that, IMO even the most aggressive postflop players will have a relatively hard time 3 betting the turn with a J or QQ-KK with the possibility of facing a cap and river bet from a 3. And second you have an estimated 12 outs so even if you only get him to fold A high or K high a few times a turn checkraise should be profitable. |

Re: Blind Battles: Hand #7
first of all i would prefer limping. i hate building big pots with [censored] suited connectors oop with no sd value and little bluffing value.
turn looks like a check and call from your description. checkraising is gonna look pretty fish to him so it seems unlikey you get him off acehigh which from your read is a very likely hand. and you open yourself up to paying thru the nose for a draw if he has a high pair or a j. |

[/ QUOTE ] True, a good player is folding his blind here rarely. Even if he just calls your raise, on the flop hes getting 5:1 once u bet and peeling a good amount. Whereas if u complete and he checks then u bet flop, hes more likely to fold. Still, this is a situation where maybe I need to start limping more, it just always feels weird to open limp, especially OOP. I dunno, Ive been really thinking about sb situations lately and Im starting to wonder about open-completeing lately. |

Re: Blind Battles: Hand #7
i open limp all the time out of position against good players in the BB and think victor might be right here. i open limp these hands regularly but i think its also important to be raising hands that dont have high card strength to compensate for the fact that i limp with middling cards and raising the high cards. he has to know that im raising with 8 high preflop sometimes to avoid being exploited.

Re: Blind Battles: Hand #7
This board just doesn't seem like a good one to get a TAG to fold A high on the turn by check raising. I agree with you flop check/call as big A high hands are auto calling down and overpairs are 3-betting and thus you have zero FE. Against this player I like a check/call, check/call line even though it seems weak, because I really don't think we have enough FE against these types to make the turn raise worthwhile.
