Resistance is Useless
A hand with a theoretical aspect.
Villain (Vogon, for those who know what this means...) is an habitual bluffer. As the PF aggressor he will not stop betting if facing no resistance.

Am I better off letting opponent bet away to the River when he (1) could be on air, (2) may already have me crushed with only 2 outs and (3) my hand is somewhat vulnerable to overcards? |

Re: Resistance is Useless
Isn't this essentially a wa/wb situation? If so, I guess ordinarily you'd c/c the flop and turn, and lead the river. But since you've stipulated that villain will bet even the river when checked to, how about c/r the river?
I don't think you should be betting just to protect the hand from overcards. |

Re: Resistance is Useless
Generally this type will still call down if they face resistance; they just stop betting themselves. In this case it is probably better to just let him bet away.
With something like 99 where you are vulnerable to a lot of overcards, and he will fold to agression, then it is probably better to bet and take it down. This is my take, and if it is wrong I would love to know. One more leak could get plugged. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

No Wynton.
This is a situation where you may not be way ahead but you could be way behind. Any T/J/Q/A could kill your hand. |

Re: Resistance is Useless
Wow. 3-bet PF, bet the flop, if raised, i would be content to call down at that point or three bet if player is a maniac. As played, c/r somewhere. Anywhere. Flop, turn, river, just do it. (Okay, so river wouldn't be that great, but flop or turn would be dandy, and i'd pick flop).

Re: Resistance is Useless
Then I guess I'm confused. If villain has AQ or J10, he's got six outs (as of the flop, at least). I thought six outs counted as being way behind.

Re: Resistance is Useless
If he's the type to fire the last barrel after you keep calling on drawless boards, then I like it. Still, I'm tempted to 3-bet and lead. You have a lot of equity vs. his probable range.

Re: Resistance is Useless
if he'll fold one overcard to the check-raise, but will call with two, then check-raising is probably wrong, unless there is a specific message you want to send for future hands

Re: Resistance is Useless
If you are comfortable that he will fire another barrel on the river then inducing a river bluff by checking is OK. But I really think you should checkraise because your hand is just too good versus the final board and I think he'll pay with an ace or middle pair to see what you are doing.
