I doubt he'll ever fold with that straight on the board, and you're getting 3-bet by a T. I'd just call.

But only because you probably shouldn't be raising here without a T. You'll get called if SB has a T and 3-bet by the monkey if he has a T. You're risking 2 BB for a chance to win 1 BB here! You think that the percentages of sb calling without a T, or having a T or monkey not having a T are worth a try? -WT |

Re: gettin\' tricky w/ it...
Probably not, normally I'd just check here but I wanted to try something new, and to see if my read was right on both their hands. This isn't a standard play for me, just wondering if the idea has merit.

Re: gettin\' tricky w/ it...
Off the top of my head I really like it. On the surface it seems like you're risking 3BB to win 1/2 of SB's share (3.17BB) of the pot, but I don't think it's quite that. Since this sort of player is often the sort to bet "his straight" on this river, even when we're risking 3BB's when he does have a T (we have to call his 3-bet, I'm assuming, given our lack of a detailed read and the general read provided by his stats), that this will be turning a small profit here.
My guess, offhand, is that he's got a T about 20% of the time. So 20% of the time, we lose 3BB. 80% of the time, we win an additional 1.58BB. We'd earn about 2/3 of a BB on this play overall. There are some other factors, but guessing that SB would lead with a T and will fold when he doesn't have one here, it looks like we're going to turn a profit -- even if we're calling a 3-bet -- if MP has the straight 34% of the time or less. Anyway, I like it. Folding a chop in a fairly big pot is usually very worthwhile. Rob |

Re: gettin\' tricky w/ it...
I'm not saying that you definitely shouldn't do it at all. Your plan certainly has some merit. It needs to work in the neighborhood of 70% of the time though. It very well may work that % of the time in instances like this. But you need a pretty good read to put neither of them on a T here. If you were confident in your read, then good play.

If the SB folds and the maniac 3bets I throw up a little and call, as i've seen him make similar plays in the past. lf |
