Pocket 6\'s in the Blind
30-60, been playing fairly tight, but not too tough.
2 ok players limp in MP, weak-tight raises on the button, I call in the BB with red 6's. The flop comes: 2-5-Q rainbow. I bet, 2 MP limpers fold. Weak tight calls. Turn: Another Q (2-5-Q). I bet. Comments? |

Re: Pocket 6\'s in the Blind
I don't like the flop bet. "ok players" limp with a lot of queens in their hands, and your preflop raiser is probably calling you down with JJ, TT etc... I just don't like trying to run my $30 through the 3 man gauntlet. Do you ever checkraise in this spot instead? This shuts out the middle guys when they have 77-99.
You are committed to betting the turn after you have bet the flop and become headsup. |

Re: Pocket 6\'s in the Blind
i prefer checkraising the flop to calling. it shuts out the middle players, it looks more like a queen (only 1 draw out there), and many observant players (which can include generally bad players) will put you on a deuce, a five, or a pocket pair and subsequently raise the turn when the queen gives them cover. you said your opponent is weak/tight, so it's more difficult to concieve of a situation where he'd call the turn and lose.
operating under the assumption that i had bet the flop: weak/tight opponent: check/fold. he's unlikely to bet a worse hand if he's truly weak/tight. loose/aggressive opponent: check/call. getting raised still sucks against them, and you can induce bets from turd hands. typical semi-loose opponent: bet. they won't bet their 6-outer for you if you check. |
