Another Hand, not quite getting the hang of it
MP3 is new to the table, only saw 2 flops out of 10 or so hands.
I know, way too passive right? I feel gummed up at the turn lately, not sure whats going on in my head. Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.75. <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, MP3 calls, CO (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls, MP3 calls, CO calls. Flop: (8.50 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, CO folds, Hero calls. Reraise, as I have TPGK? Turn: (6.25 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, Hero calls. I started to feel like a weenie here. River: (8.25 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, Hero calls. Final Pot: 10.25 BB |

I don't think it matters much if you reraise the flop or lead the turn, but do one or the other.

Re: Another Hand, not quite getting the hang of it
After it's heads-up, calling the flop and check/raising the turn becomes an option. However, I normally just 3-bet the flop and lead the turn, especially on a draw-ey board like this (could be raising hearts here, and may take a free card).

3-bet/call the flop, lead the turn. If you are raised on the turn you are probably in trouble otherwise it looks like a heart draw or another ace trying to protect their hand.

Re: Another Hand, not quite getting the hang of it
I seem to disagree with the other posters, because I would have played it the same way as you.
Thats because I dont think that it was necessarily in the flop raiser's best interests to eliminate other players with a raise if he was on a flush draw. I would suspect 2 pair, or a set or even a better kicker than yours to the A. So, I would call down to the river the same way you did. |

Re: Another Hand, not quite getting the hang of it
thank you. I'll look to do that next time a similar situation comes around. (this is a hand thats exemplary of what I was getting the last 2 sessions or so. Got a lot of different results from similar play.) I need to just be more agressive.

Re: Another Hand, not quite getting the hang of it
It sounds like you have a case of MUBS. You'll see a lot of lower A's and draws here, certainly often enough to make it three bets.
3bet that flop. Probably should call down if capped. |

Re: Another Hand, not quite getting the hang of it
The 3 bet helps define what hand he is raising with. I agree that if the raiser was on a flush draw the raise was poor. The flop raise could also be an effort to drive out the CO. Without a read on CO it is unlikely that he has a better kicker because he did not raise preflop and AK, AQ do get 3 bet. The only hands I can put CO that are problematic are 88 and 33. And if CO has those, a turn raise is more than likely if it wasn't capped on the flop.

Re: Another Hand, not quite getting the hang of it
Seems like MP3 is on flush draw or weak Ace - maybe two pair. 3-bet flop and lead turn. MP3's aggression should inform your actions after your 3-bet and turn lead.
