blinds battle - set
New table. Villain has done stuff like minraise preflop, and bet small on the flop. But he hasn't shown down a hand. Thoughts?

Re: blinds battle - set
I really don't like the turn donkbet. Either 3-bet the flop or check/raise the turn. I generally 3-bet the flop.

Re: blinds battle - set
Love it.
I want to ask what was your purpose for donking the turn? Did you do it to control the pot with a kind of blocking bet? Get value against an opponent you think will check-behind too often? Something else? |

Re: blinds battle - set
i don't like it, i think any decent player will see thru your line and put you on a set.
3-bet the flop |

Re: blinds battle - set
I'd bet 7-8 on the flop, 2/3-3/4 on turn and something like that on the river too. You really look like you're trying to squeeze out as much as you can from an ace here, but I doubt he's noticing. I think you lost some value here by only betting half the pot.

Check raise the turn; most of the time, I think villian is protecting an ace against a play that looks like a steal. You *must* have a read on opponent though, since a big CR might make him fold. Value, value, value!

Re: blinds battle - set
Either I 3 bet Flop, or I check-raise Turn.
I also would make bets at least 2/3 pot sized. If he has an Ace, he's not folding to a potential steal. |

Re: blinds battle - set
I like this line alot. 3 bet there is no reason for preflop, not many draws and it looks way to strong. Turn has too much of a chance of getting checked through vs an unknown for a c/r to be more profitable. I think this is the optimal line from this game theory perspective. Those that say the stop and go turn is too transparent, I think a 3 bet on the flop is much more so.

Something else? [/ QUOTE ] Value, we don't care to control this pot with middle set. Yes your logic is good, you can't assume a bet from an opponent on the turn just because he minraised the flop. (against an agro villain I'd c/r this) |
