ATs and a nice flop.
B&M $12-$24 game.
Villian is a tight aggressive player who I've played a fair amount with. He likes to make moves, and he is a good hand reader. Game was 5 handed before this hand came up. I was open raising frequently, and Villian 3-bet me liberally during this time, i.e. A9s. 15 minutes later, game is now 9 handed, I open raise UTG with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], a bad player cold calls, Villian 3-bets, another bad player in the BB calls, I cap it, they call. 4 players (8BB) Flop: T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I bet, bad player calls, Villian raises, BB folds, I 3-bet, bad player folds, Villian calls. 2 players (11.5BB) Turn: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I bet, Villian calls. 2 players (13.5BB) River: blank I check, Villian bets, I call. Thoughts? |

Re: ATs and a nice flop.
Fold preflop. I don't understand the preflop cap either.
Everything else looks fine could bet the river but you may induce a bluff with a check. |

Fold preflop. [/ QUOTE ] Why? This should be an easy raise IMO. Capping is debatable... Thanks, Guido |

[ QUOTE ] Fold preflop. I don't understand the preflop cap either. [/ QUOTE ] I feel the open raise preflop is fine. As far as capping, I've got a nice suited ace in a big multiway pot with two bad players. Also, Villian could be raising me light, so it's not certain I'm up against a monster. There is a small chance I have the best hand plus if he has some medium pair he may misread my hand on a scary board. I also want to notify him that 3-betting me with marginal hands is going to get expensive. |

why in the world would you think he's 3 betting you lightly? [/ QUOTE ] Mostly because the game was recently short and I'm not certain that he has re-adjusted to full table conditions. I know that he will lighten up his 3-betting standards when the game gets short, and also against me if it pertains to any type of steal/resteal situation since we have a history there. In a prior session, I open raised from the Hijack, and he 3-bet me in the CO with A2s. I guess I'm saying that I really didn't think he needed a huge hand to 3-bet me here. |

Re: ATs and a nice flop.
considering the bad players in between I like the cap. do you think if you checkraised the flop you could have gotten four bests in again? i assume you lost to QQ or JJ though.
where do they spread 12-24? |

Re: ATs and a nice flop.
c/r the river. that guys got KT or QT or some crap. he'd pump the turn with an overpair. your hand is good.

Re: ATs and a nice flop.
I think you lost to QQ/JJ. Bet the river. 99/88 might call but probably won't bet. I can't see him with a busted draw.
