QQ Easy fold on turn?

Nice_Guy · #1 02-19-2005, 08:19 PM

The villain in this scenario is playing 35% raising 11% preflop. I have no information on what his 3-bet standards are.

Is this a standard check/fold?

mmmmmmm This is above my limit, I know @ $2/$4 I would probably check/call it down......... there are loads of hands where button could 3-bet, AJs, AQs, JJ, 10's...interested to see what the experts say,

i think you should have 3-bet him on the flop

I figured I would get that suggestion right away. I thought about 3 betting but couldn't. He seemed to not fear the fact that I'm coming out betting after capping preflop and that gave me some cause to slow down. Weak?

The K isn't all that bad a card for you in this spot. Most opponents won't raise just overcards on the flop after you've capped preflop and led the flop so I think we're likely looking at a hand range of 99-AA against this opponent. You're still ahead of 99-JJ and way behind KK-AA so I think it's a call down. In fact the turn card is arguably a good one for you since it makes KK less likely.

I think you need to give more action on the flop, though. This guy isn't a rock.

This was my thinking while playing the hand so I chose to call it down. It didn't sit right with me after the fact though.

I guess you have to call down.

6BB pot after the flop...Calling down cost 2BB

I think you are good atleast 20% of the time.

I wouldn't fold. I definitely would have 3-bet the flop.

He could easily have 99-JJ.
