Re: An interesting spot
I'll start this by saying I don't play alot of 15-30 online so my opinion may not have alot of merit.
I'm just calling, raising presents too much of a risk in my opinion. Your risking potetnial 1BB extra to save 1/2BB (Edited to remove original math that was wrong say risking extra 2BB to save 1/2BB and the possibility of free card is probably better than I originally assessed, but still not enough for me to raise) Dopey [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] |

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] In general, my rule for free card situations like this is that you have to be right 2/3 of the time for them to be a good idea (because you pay 1 BB extra when you get capped and led into, and save .5 BB when you raise and get a free card). [/ QUOTE ] So, if you cap and he bets you're calling the turn? [/ QUOTE ] If he caps and you call and he bets the turn, there will be 11 BB in the pot. Meaning you have to call just to hit the miracle J (assuming the turn doesn't pair the board... if it does, I think that swings it to a fold). [/ QUOTE ] How about this for a twist, what if the turn is the K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and the villain bets. That makes for a more interesting decision.

This whole entire hand is wrong. Here's how it went down: I raised pre-flop, both called. [censored], I'm so sorry. This was all wrong. There's 6.5 sbs in the pot. I bet, strightfoward passive BB check-raises. I ? (Again, I'm sorry, this is just so, so wrong.) |

[/ QUOTE ] I this case I like 3-betting A LOT more as you are much likely to pick up a free card as well as have your pair outs still being good. |

Re: An interesting spot

You risk too much with it being capped and lead into on the turn. [/ QUOTE ] So what... sometimes it can get capped with Q6o, you are now a small underdog, I can live with that. A player of this type will often call with anything short of a set rather than raise because the board will scare him. Hero buys a free card more often than not.

Its from a book, and the author recommends three-betting, as we've said. My problem was that I thought the pre-flop action was as I posted (where the BB three-bets) and so, in that scenario, I couldn't wrap my head around why the author recommended reraising the check-raise. Turns out I just read it wrong. OMG this was easily the worst post ever. Apologies for clogging the board. |
