no i thought about it and the flop c/r is the play. would you have called preflop? assume a very good passive 20 like normal.

isnt it past your bedtime?

I'm confused. It seems like you're being a little results oriented here, only because as it turned out a flop c/r would have cleaned up your 3. Tough to see that coming.

In the hand, however, on the flop, you have a draw. A good one, yes, but still a draw. You can't possibily imagine that a flop c/r will clean up your K outs (they're gonna call) and how could you possibily know that you needed to clean up your three.

furthermore a flop c/r will definately hurt your drawing odds, and given that the board is paired you might get 3 bet drawing slim/dead and be unable get away from it due to the wide range of hands your opponents might 3bet with.

I think a flop c/r is not the way to go, but that you should have done it on the turn, after your hand picked up some showdown value.

Am I way off here?
