blind stealing a 'little light'

EvanJC · #1 06-03-2005, 04:34 PM

no real reads in this one. i've been trying to steal more, but it this obnoxious? i question my play on all streets, so fire away. i felt alright about the flop raise/cap at the time b/c i was sure BB was coming along, but in hindshight it seems a little wonky. i don't really know how i feel about the turn or river.

I would call the flop three bet. Then if you do end up hitting your hand you can count on him betting and possibly trap BB for 2 bets.

Yeah, just call the 3-bet. It usually means he's on a flush draw here, so your straight outs are tainted, and you can't cap for value.

You could check this turn, but I'm 90% sure that betting here is correct, you want to charge other draws now that you have a hand you can showdown.

River is easy.

Way too light for party 1/2. You are way Way WAY behind a random hand here, with little fold equity later in the pot.

With a read on SB, I don't hate the flop cap, but I think calling the 3-bet/raising this turn, checking behind on river UI is better.
