Are you thinking that this player won't bet 99/TT/QQ on the river after we check behind? Or that based on the size of the pot, the likely hand distribution, and the likelyhood of one of those hands checking that we are too likely behind when he bets to call a river bet unimproved?

Just as a question...why hasn't anybody suggested raising the flop? It seems to me as though KK, QQ and JJ would also three bet pre flop and then (perhaps?) follow up with a continuation bet despite the ace on board. Nobody has even brought this up so sorry if I'm missing something basic. Just wanted to throw it out there.

i'm pretty sure that suggestion was ignored because it's impossible. i could be wrong though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

As far as raising the flop, think about the effect a raise would have on KK/QQ and whether or not that is good or bad.

Grunch: I think the fold is fine. Based upon what you saw (though a small sample), I think Villain has a set or 2-pair. I don't think you have enough outs to call in this small pot if behind.

I think you played PF well, though I guess some might argue you should fold even AQo against ultra-tight player 3-betting (I don't agree, and think you don't have enough info on this player yet anyhow to make that kind of fold PF). On the flop, however, I'm torn between calling (is this a WA/WB situation?) or raising, but I think the latter to find out where I am before I get, say, check-raised on the more expensive street.

miles- yeah sorry...just edited my post. I meant raising the flop not three betting.

deception- Does it have anything to do with encouraging KK and QQ to continue betting into us on the turn when he only has two outs? Seems sort of like the WA/WB (check/call-check/call-bet) line, just with a much larger kicker than we'd usually have when we take this line. Use it cause he's a tight player who three bet preflop?

Thanks.

Why, so it does. I'm sure on my last keyboard it didn't do anything though. Or am I just crazy?
