i wouldn't fold.
i'd probably 3bet the flop too.

What hands are you avoind? the only likely hands to worry about is 99/88... it feels wrong to put him on such a narrow range of hands. I don't think anybody in their right mind would CC 3 with JT/56/T6.

EDIT - reworded it so i sound like less of a wuss

i thought 99 at first, thats why i slowed down my betting on the flop, the flop was to textured for my rockets...
will post rockets results in half hour or so.

reads?

Button raise could mean two pair/set/str8 draw/flush draw. I think you have to raise again in here somewhere, esp. with other players padding the pot. Maybe 3-bet the flop. Pot is BIG.

I think I find another raise somewhere -- probably the flop, given the two other fools trapped in the hand. You are either ahead or you are not, and not much is going to change that on the turn (unless you spike an Ace or the straight/flush draw comes in).

I have the feeling you got jobbed out to some random two pair (as two pair hands are more likely when the board is coordinated like that).

Reads??

MP2 waking up on the flop and raising a pot which he called 3 cold in is strange...

I'd 3-bet the flop though and if he capped I may reconsider calling down or folding later.

that 7 is the best thing in the world for you.

3 bet the flop, raise the turn, call down if still shown aggression and you've got a nh.

I have not read any of the responses yet because I did not want them to affect my thinking. After that much action preflop I do not think anyone has j-10, ace-king of spades is a possibility. But to get to the point, I would have tried to cap as many of the streets as possible. This also might force out the other players which would be good in such a big pot. If this has already been said half a dozen times then I am sorry to repeat it.

Cheshire · #10 08-02-2005, 11:31 PM

I just read the responses and I guess everyone else took less aggressive approaches then me. I did not catch that the flop raiser was the button who cold called 3 bets. I guess I could see him doing something stupid like calling 3 bets with a middle pocket pair or j-10 suited. maybe a little less aggression then I originally said. But a raise or two need to be in there somewhere.
