Re: 44 blind defense
What were you planning on doing on the turn UI? I would just check raise the flop and take it from there. By "crazy" I am assuming you mean way too agressive and could be semi-stealing here with quite a bit?

[/ QUOTE ] With your trips, a bet-3bet seems best on the turn. I like a flop check raise more than an unimproved turn check raise because as you said, he sometimes 3-bets the flop with worse. Plus you have 6 clean outs, so 25% equity when behind, and you are often ahead. Get that money in on the flop. If you turn check raise UI, you risk getting 3-bet by his ace, or folding out one of his worse hands that he would of continued to bluff at you. |

Re: 44 blind defense
cc on the flop is perfect. i like the checkraise on the turn because your bet looks like you just caught your gutshot. donking is close but better if you think there is a strong chance hell raise or that hell fold a pp to a cr.
