Preflop debate

Brom · #1 03-23-2005, 08:35 PM

A friend and I had a little argument over whether or not to 3 bet this hand preflop or just cold call. We are looking for other people's thoughts/opinions on it. If you could just type what you think you'd do and why, we would appreciate it. Thanks.

As an edit im adding in that Villain is 12/5/2.5 after about 100 hands.

As an edit I'm changing my answer from "Is folding an option?" to "Fold."

I think you're both wrong.

Like the Chief he says. Why do you want to 3 bet, maybe get h/u, and close out action with a hand that plays better multi-way against a raiser? Call, let the BB and UTG come in and go from there. If there were coldcallers in front of you, I could see the 3 bet.

the chief said the guy advocating a 3-bet AND the guy advocating a cold call were both wrong.

Oh. Missed that. Any thoughts on what else I said?

yeah... folding is best. behind some cold-callers you can start entertaining 3-betting or donking along.

That 5 makes this an easy, easy, easy fold PF, IMO.
