Re: Play along - Blind protection
call preflop, but 3bet if he steals a lot. If I play better than the sb and he consitently steals I 3bet top 30ish percent of my hands, or 60-70 percent of the hands i will play. As it is, just call.
Flop, HU pot, pretty sure u have to call down, one of those situations where u make or lose money...play wa/wb, let him bet his bluffs/smaller pairs/etc or his ace. If this was multiway (more than a few players) u might be able to find a a fold (anybody agree w/ me here? This really depends on how many are in though). Actually, question: say this flop is 3handed. Same action w/ a limper that called preflop to act behind u....what is your action? (seriously, everyone should do Bonus/Hypothetical questions in thier threads...they rule. Also I ask alot of questions because Im trying to help others out, some are pretty basic and I know the answers, some Im just curious what will be said, etc.) |

We are not improved by the K, we have no redraws left, we have a pair less than middle pair, the bet has doubled, and the pot is not big enough to continue. |

Re: Play along - Blind protection
Villan doesn't steal often and have NEVER SHOW DOWN garbage. Hes pretty dam solid from what we've seen.
OREO - It changes the whole hand if a limper in involved, we can give credit to SB for a bigger hand as he wouldnt BLIND STEAL with a limper. His raise is most likly a premium hand or a PP. I'd maybe peel the flop and fold to villans turn bet now. Hard to say as to many things would change. P.s. This hand isn't played by me. I shall explain all upon conclusion. |

Re: Play along - Blind protection
Ok, Well it turns out hero put on his scuba gear and hit the river.
A 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] landed and villan checked, hero checked. Villan showed 24o and apparently... Felt like a goof ball. The name of this villan will remain a mystery and he's probably very embaressed about this play. I think hero misplayed it, and im not sure if villan overplayed a COMPLETE BLUFF vs a weak hero... probably. i wont reveal hero or villan indentity, but i may PM hero. |

Re: Play along - Blind protection
I think it's fine unless maybe the river. If I was villain I'd play any pocket pair this way and also any good Aces and Kings, so I think calling down is the best line here. River should be a clear value bet although I'm not sure what am I doing when he raises even I dont think he will raise very often.
