I agree, it is results oriented. So shoot me. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Seriously though, nothing wrong with calling HU with big hands in the BB for deception.

He feels his image is laggy, a 3bet shouldnt seem suspicious if he is correct about his image.

Obviously, 3-betting preflop is the standard play, but I'm not opposed to smooth calling in the BB with a big hand to occasionally mix it up especially if your opponent will auto bet every flop.

I think this the wrong reason to do things like this. I'll flat call big hands from bb quite a bit, but I do it against players who just LOVE playing back at a bb checkraise in a blind defense situation. Online there's a fair number of players that will play a big pot with an unimproved AQ if you call preflop and checkraise a raggedy board.

I think you should figure out whether it's relevant to the hand first. I mean did you even read the rest of the post? Sorry if this is too abrasive.

there is no reason not to 3bet this from the bb playing 5handed.

Would you never call HU from the bb for deception with AA or KK?

I've found it to be a very valuable move against TAGs and LAGs.

Leading or c/r'ing and folding to a 3 bet is the only way to play the hand because you said, besides being the tightest, he's the best player. Which means he'd bet that flop with a lot of hands to see what you do.

i just 3bet them with a wider range profitably SH. if for some reason i've been calling with the calling hands more frequently than normal (b/c ive been getting them more) then i'll go ahead and call my good ones. but no, in the situation you described i would not call KK there.

why? I think pokerstove is the best way to analyze hands. if you have his range a good read, all thats left is stove.

I should have posted this: I've been dealing for these guys for the past year, i know how everyone plays but they don't know how I play.

Eric P · #20 10-26-2005, 09:18 PM

I agree that i should have just three bet probably ( do 95% of the time -this is why i posted tihs).

After not three betting and the ace flopping, when he bet i was almost certain he had an ace. If he didn't have an ace his play (i'm fairly certain) would be to let me bluff the turn and river (perhaps raise me on the river). That being said, he really could have had a face card pocket pair and i mucked the winner.

AS IT WAS: my friend was dealing so i folded and told him to look at it, he didn't protect it when he looked at it and the guy saw it. He saw it and got upset and showed me an ace.
