How's the preflop call? If it's no good, when (AXs) do you start calling in a multiway pot? How's the flop 3-bet?
No read on CO.

I like this a lot. On the flop, the pot is already large and a 3-bet can get you heads-up with CO which, counterintuitively, is what you want. Sometimes CO will fold to a turn or river bet when you don't improve. So I like a 3-bet, intending to bet any turn heads-up (unless you know CO will never fold a raising hand to this bet, or the second one on the river).

Flop is a close fold. Id usually like one or two more callers before i start cold calling with AXs

[/ QUOTE ] FYP. I think on average, this is going to be 7-handed including myself. So I need 9 or 10?

3-betting the flop sucks. I call.

eep. My bad i rushed through the hand history and thought you only had 3 callers and then the CO raise... which to me is a close call.

Reasons?... calling keeps more players in which would create a larger pot. But 3-betting would increase the chances that his outs to the ace would be good and it might also buy a free card if his heart didnt fall on the turn.

How does isolating yourself against the pfr do us any good. Instead of a great draw multiway, we now have a great draw HU.

I was unsure about the 3-bet cuz of this. I didn't expect all the folds. I was actually hoping that everyone would call (at least a few people), and I'd take the free card on the turn. Since it got HU, I wasn't sure whether or not to bet a blank turn. I prolly still would have taken a free card, cuz what could he have that he'd fold for one bet?

The pot is already really large... i would rather have a really good chance to win the pot than an ok chance to win a larger pot.
