Re: 3/6 6m JJ against Michael Davis
He's welcome to draw to his 2-4 outs if he wants to. If you're talking about draws that thin, it may wind up being the hero who winds up getting the "free card".

Re: 3/6 6m JJ against Michael Davis
Whoops, I just reread this, I said "reraise 55" meaning "random underpair". It just so happens 55 is a set. So change what I said to 66.

If you decide to bet the turn (which IMO is best) and he calls, you're getting nearly 8:1 on a river bet that he'll fold Kx, which is very possible. |

You "fixed" my post to say that MD may be drawing dead. Actually, if he's behind, he's never drawing to less than 4 outs. |

[/ QUOTE ] I'll give you the .5 BB (what I meant is that an underpair is only 2 outs, and maybe it's a reach, but he could have a couple of suited connectors that aren't drawing to gutshots). But your preflop 3-bet is crazy-scary to him. His range is pretty wide, but the range you're representing isn't. Say, TT-AA, AQ and up? Maybe 99? Which means with half of his range that's ahead, he thinks he's behind and may want to see a cheap showdown also. So when he checks behind on the turn, or bets the turn and then takes a free showdown, you're saving 1BB. What's the probability of that? It's hard to tell, but I'm guessing it offsets the .5BB. |

Re: 3/6 6m JJ against Michael Davis
One more thing (I know I write too much).
When he's behind, with, say, an underpair, he *knows* he's behind, but he also knows the board is scary, and that you're a TAG who avoids drawing dead, so he's not going to fold the flop with 66, he's going to take at least one opportunity to scare the crap out of you. By bluff-raising the turn. |

[/ QUOTE ] MD would have to call the flop with 66 specifically to float and raise the turn - This is a dangerous board for him and most of hero's hand range is ahead of 66 so his only hope is to fold a better hand, not the best plan. It is possible, but not that likely. Surf |

I think the line that gets you into the least trouble is to checkcall the turn and checkfold the river, but even that is dangerous. -Michael [/ QUOTE ] Saves me trouble from having to type. |

Re: 3/6 6m JJ against Michael Davis
Could one of you advocating the check/call, check/fold line explain it to me? Won't he just check his draws and bet when he's ahead on the turn? And if he's aggro enough to bluff the turn with gutshots won't he sometimes bet the river too when he misses? I must be missing something.
