Early bet/3bet with 88 on the flop
Stars $15+$1 Turbo. Very early. I don't want to invest a lot of chips without seeing if my 88 is an overpair or a set so I just complete preflop (though of course I always end up doing so). Did I get too aggressive here?

Bump to get this thread above the non-strategy threads.

I think this is somewhat suicidal readless.

I would have probably done the same thing.

Re: Early bet/3bet with 88 on the flop
What hands are going to fold to a c/r and not fold in this line?
What hands would push here that you would not like to call but will call your push? What people/hands are going to fold to your flop bet but will bluff bet after you check? |

The difference is that I'm putting them to the test not the other way around.

Re: Early bet/3bet with 88 on the flop
I don't hate it but I'm less of a fan because of the fact that it is an unraised pot with low blinds. However, the only hands that I could see him having that you should fear is an overpair (unlikely) or a set. Possibly a suited connector such as ThJh.
It's just generally not my style to make huge pots early when I limp and I have something relatively weak like a low overpair. But I don't hate your play... You are just much more aggresive than I am early in SNGs. |
