Re: Heading for No Mans Land
Yes but sadly/gladly there is more to poker than flop play. You need a plan for when "things" happen, hence my 3-part question incorporating later streets and possible consequences/action. If you play the flop without a plan, then you are not a thinking player, are you? Thinking with 20:20 hindsight does not count... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Heading for No Mans Land
EDIT: I agree with kiddos line to just keep hammering but fold if raised. This is just specific to the way the hand was played.
I would probably just check/call the river here after the turn got checked through. He would be tempted to bluff a busted heart draw, and will bet a straight. Either way, check/calling costs the same as leading/folding, and I'm not sure there's that many hands he could have to call on the river that you beat. If he had had a piece of the board worth raising on the flop, the would probably have bet the turn. |

Re: Heading for No Mans Land
No you are right. Stars is run by professionals who understand poker. Party is run by f**ktards whose only interest is taking as much rake from you as possible.

Re: Heading for No Mans Land
I agree with Kiddo's line.

Re: Heading for No Mans Land
I'd usually 3-bet the flop because I am less thinking and more aggressive and then I'd lead til resisted. I might check raise the turn if I've been running well specifically at this table assuming a somewhat non scary turn (Qx not particularly frightening). As the action went I'd bet/fold the river. A player of this description doesn't bluff raise the river very often and may be frightened by the straight heavy board with now at least 3 overcards to the pairs that you're beating. Check calling I think allows him to check behind on too many hands he'll call with.

Re: Heading for No Mans Land
Blame Scotch78 (see earlier). Actually he is not far from the truth, I was 2-tabling on Stars with 1 table open on PokerRoom at the same time, which explains my confusion. Scotch78 is confused as he saw me playing on Stars last weekend. Scratch that, he is just confused... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Heading for No Mans Land
Sorry, I thought it was obvious that if I 3-bet I lead the rest of the streets.
