When something doesn't "feel" quite right

yeah why slow him down =p

It's not to slow him down, but to make sure that the other two players don't slide in cheaply with something like QT to have 6 live outs against me.

If this guy isn't a complete maniac, I raise the turn and check the river unimproved. I like this move, because I have a little more fold equity with the turn raise and it costs the same to see a showdown. If I think this guy is capable of bluff 3-betting me on the turn, I'd just call down.

Edit: Removed previos "edit" comment, sb could easily not have raised pf with a king. For some reason I thought it was folded to the sb pf. I should learn how to read.

hey aw. sorry for not even recognizing the other players in the pot. i like the raise if thats how you would play a K since thats what you are representing to the other players. if you *usually pop the turn then id be more inclined to do that no matter what card/overcard comes down on the turn.

I really like the raise on the flop in this hand to fold 6 outers behind you. HU, call call call looks better.

After thinking about this hand for a while, I was tyring to remember the last time I was in a situation like this. A hand came to mind that I posted a long long time ago...That hand is here.

Go visit the archives. I've forgotten how much content is hidden back there.

I like the flop action.
I would strongly consider raising the turn against this guy.
In fact, I'd raise the turn vs. a lot of 1/2 villians. The only difference being I would not fold to a 3-bet here.

Aaron - I don't know how long you've played these 1/2 5-max games, but you're not going to see trips get fastplayed that often. Much less against this guy, folding is never even a consideration.

What would read villain to be on that would 3-bet here and lose to 66? A3 is barely possible in my mind, which leaves other pocket pairs. And I would be too afraid of running into something like 99 in this spot.

I think I've played my way up to about 1000 hands. I'm guessing this is basically nothing for short-handed because the hands fly through so fast and the long run is really the LLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGG GGGGGGGG run. However, being on the happy end of the variance stick and beating the game at 10+ BB/100 is a fun illusion that I'm going to enjoy until I hit that first downswing.

I think you can safely fold to a 3bet against all but the most bluff happy villains if you raise the turn. Calling the flop 3bet and then raising the turn looks an awful lot like a K to most players. You might scare some better hands into folding, and any hand that doesn't beat trip K's is going to have an extremely hard time 3betting you here.

This raise is a bluff stopper. If he still comes over the top, you have to think he has the goods.
