more importantly, if the LAG is pretending to have K, he may 3 bet anyway

You raise to see where you stand. If you're re-raised, then you can decide to call down or fold. But calling this raise is like saying, "ok, i think you have a king and I can't beat that so I'll just call and see what happens"

Wow no wonder my postflop aggression factor is only ~2.2

Putting 4 bets into this pot on the turn and river seems crazy to me, but what do I know. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

1st method cost of seeing showdown: At minimum 3, and probably 4 or 5 BB between turn and river

2nd meth cost of seeing showdown: At maximum 2 BB (assuming you will fold if button raises)

1st method cost of folding(if re-raised by BB or Button): 2 BB

2nd method cost of folding(if re-raised by Button): 1 BB

I think the decision is clear.

I'm folding here. I see no way that I am ahead at this point. BB is representing a King and there isn't much the button could 3-bet with pre-flop that I'm ahead of. I expect the button to have AK as I would expect a flop raise if he had an overpair, such as JJ. If the button has AK he will almost certainly raise here and be 3-bet by the BB. I don't want to be caught in between all of this when I'm probably third in the hand.

It is crazy. Why reraise on the turn if you are going to fold to one bet? Just call down from the turn.

Let me just start by saying how much I appreciate all the advice everyone gave. I love this website and all the people that contribute to it. You can't buy feedback like this anywhere!

When I first typed up the hand post, I said to myself this has got to be an obvious raise. Maybe that's because I'm trying to convince myself I need to be a tad more aggressive on the turn/river.

The only hand I could put the Button on was AK. I couldn't see any hand that he would three bet before the flop, but just call on the flop. JJ maybe, but I thought that would merit a raise on the flop from him. That BB woke up when the K came on the turn scared me a bit. The thought of cleaning the puke out of my laptop if BB showed down with K-2o was not appealing. So I folded.

But, the pot was decent sized, and I could still have had the best hand. Is this a situation where you could decide to call or raise based on pot equity? I read SSHE a few times and pot equity is one of the concepts I'm still trying to get my arms around. Could I figure that I'd win the pot 40% (just for arguments sake) of the time and that would justify a raise, since there would probably be three people in at showdown (40% being > than 33%)? Or would the opposite be true: I'm probably only going to win less than 33% of the time?

calling down is to me the best play. You might be beat but with the nice sized pot, you will proboly win at least 10% of the time making this profitable.

This (I think) is related to my pot equity question in my last post. Say for arguments sake that I have to just call two bets to show down (1 on the turn and 1 on the river). Does that mean I have to win > 20% of the time to have pot equity to make the calls?

If not, does anyone know how you would figure this out?
