3-bet and value bet the river, folding to a cap is what I think I'd do.

edit - btw when you say 3/6 is that referring to the 150 pound game on inter or something else??

yeah it's not quite 3/6 but that's what it's often referred to as.

i like hiatus' term "300-600ish"

This was a very good post, and I must admit my first instinct was to fold the turn, only becuz I get highly suspicious when an aggressive player raises preflop and then checks on a flop that every aggressive player knows is a mandatory bet no matter what they have. So given the flop check after the preflop raise and then the turn raise I would naturally put the villain on a moster since his play is so consistent with a monster on every street. I wouldve folded the turn given this action, but it appears to me this might be a mistake, just giving my thought process of the situation.

i think paluka pretty much nailed this hand. i dont' think you can possibly fold here and i think 3-betting is best.

I don't like the PF CC, isolating marrakes has big +EV, and your hand has reverse implieds odds and letting bb or SB in to pot damages it.

I called the turn, steve called. River A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], steve checked, marrakes bet, I called, steve mucked, marrakes tabled K8o and MHIG.

What does MHIG mean?

Also, I really don't know if you should have just cold called preflop either - I don't play such high stakes but it really seems to me that it isn't really going to help you much by not 3 betting... I guess it really just depends on how well you're going to play post flop with your reads on the players, and it obviously just ended up confusing you..

I think you shouldn't have called on the turn, definitley 3-bet and fold to a cap.

Your investigatory powers are almost as good as the inspector himself.

here's a thought.

bk asked what i thought and i told him the following:

as long as you dont fold the turn, you're fine. you can argue for 3 betting or just aclling and seeing the showdown but you are showdown bound with this hand. period. there's no folding to a cap vs. marrakes here.

you're making a commitment to the showdown b/c of this player's ability to do cracked out things.

the main point im making is the EV of calling and raising is just so much greater than calling i dont care if you do one or the other, just dont fold. which one is higher (calling and raising) is up for debate and depends on a few things that are hard to quantify.
