Re: Checking down 99
Flair,
Thanks for the response and yes, you do make a good point about villain being slightly passive. I think this is one that fits the category of a somewhat interesting hand that got few responses. Chief

Chief [/ QUOTE ] I think it is because it is one of those hands that when you are in it nothing feels right. 1. Seems too good to fold. 2. For me anyway, I feel slightly fishy calling down the whole way. Another thing about hands like this, is that I believe they can have a pretty big impact on your table image. All other things being equal, I would prefer not to have to show my hands here, as I think it adversly effects you on future semi-bluff attempts.

Re: Checking down 99
I like the flop 3-bet, lead turn line more than the stop-and-go line.
The two main reasons being that the flop 3-bet has a better chance of getting rid of the guy in the middle (which is awesome considering he likely has 3-6 outs against you) and the stop-and-go does indeed beg to be raised by a weaker than usual set of hands (assuming aggressive opponents). My only hesitation in saying this is that little voice in my head reminding me about all those times I tried this stop-and-go with a monster and my opponent folded. I'm way too busy and lazy to, but it'd be awesome if some PT Superstar did a nice analysis of those two lines (flop 3-bet, lead turn vs. flop bet/call raise, lead turn, both after you raised PF). ie, how often opponents folded , called down, raised, etc. Luke

[/ QUOTE ] Exacly. And XXXX it I'm going to keep bumping this thread until more than 5 people chime in. Maybe if Luke can just change the title to "Are these Stats OK?" or "Did I play these flopped quads well?". [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
