Checkraising LP bettor w/ mid pair

all participants besides me have vp's in 40s and fairly passive. was the preflop completion bad? was the flop checkraise okay?

I like this too, but what do we do if UTG or MP2 bets? Fold?

Probably peel depending on the number of callers.

I like this a lot better if MP3 had raised preflop.

sluttysteve · #7 09-01-2005, 03:05 PM

my plan was to fold to a bet from UTG or MP2, and only raise if MP3 bet (could be with any two). here the isolation didn't work, and i was wondering afterwards what i would do if an undercard fell on the turn, and what i would do if an overcard fell on the turn.

But if MP3 raised pre-flop then we aren't even in the hand...

Depends on who calls. I'd often peel. I play loose on the flop because I think implied odds are generally underestimated.

pf is fine

the flop c/r is great against someone who will auto-bet when checked to or who will bet with 2nd pair or less. I think it's important to protect your hand on a coordinated board like this. you were definitely in a raise or fold situation - I think raising is fine.

when the A hits, the rest of the hand is standard, but what's your plan for the rest of the hand if the turn doesn't help?
