Play along - Blind protection
So you on the BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and its folded to SB who raises.
Now SB is tight 21/11 hes a fairly solid tag who went a bit to far with AA to a turn raise on XX99 once vs a passive(Called him down) but other than that we've not seen much of him. think he see's us as a new player but who knows how toplay tight and fairly aggressive but a tad weak interms of value bets. He also knows we fold BB quite often. Our stats are currently 16/11 You.... ? 3 replies and the flop or no flop shall be discovered. |

Re: Play along - Blind protection
Call it, a decent TAG is raising with close to any 2 here. These are very suitable cards to defend with, plenty of ways to hit the flop.

Re: Play along - Blind protection
I have an unorthodox blind protection plan until I can grasp the more formal theories (only playing 6-max consistently for 2 weeks now) - but based on your reads I call the raise and fine-tooth comb the flop for continuability. For me the one premium card and the soooootedness tell me to call. If they were connected or a one-gapper I would consider a 3-bet.

No chance at a flush now and I do not like a two-tone flop with the A here. I do not see the benefit in a call so I'd rather take it down here, fold to TAG agrression, or try for a free card on the turn. |

Re: Play along - Blind protection
man, i'd raise here, but i like Spy Dog's line better.
I'd raise, curse and call a 3bet and then fold a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or K turn. Calling down will be a better line. |
