interesting TPGK flop decision

[Sir Bruce]

I don't see why the 3-bet doesn't indicate strength. The read was that the villian was very tight. Continuous raising out of position is exactly how I'd expect an overpair hand to play.

I think we're behind or drawing very slim here way too often, forcing us to give up at the turn unimproved.

I saw no read. I only see that villan hasn't played a hand yet. We don't know how many hands he's folded.

this is correct; to this point villain has been dealt a few hands; not enough to reasonably conclude if he's tight or not.

Ah, OK. I misunderstood. That changes things a bit.

I like being more aggressive in that case. If he's playing an overpair or flopped a set or something, well.. that's going to suck, but we've got a strong hand and position here against an unknown on a possible steal.

Cap flop. Bet if checked to on the turn and river. If bet to on the turn after capping the flop, that's a much trickier thing. I think I'd still just call down from there.

Ahh . . . I see that now. With no read on villian's hand then (except the potential steal), capping is probably right. TPGK is great heads-up in position, and a bet/raise is probably in order on the turn with any card besides an A. If the villian still shows strength, call down to the river.
