hand 3 sucks. It looks like you blew away the field with a solid draw.

Ok, I admit that I posted these as a little bit of a whine but I mainly wanted to see what everyone thought about the river 3-bets.

After running roughshod over Party all weekend I should have known I was in trouble today when my amazing 20 hand streak of winning with AA was snapped by a single caller with Q6. I can't remember a single bad suck-out all weekend and then today I lose all 3 of these hands to runner runner in a 10 minute span.

I agree the the flop raise was bad in the 3rd hand. I believe it was the very next hand after hand 2 and I wasn't thinking clearly. I also didn't see the 3 flush on the board or I wouldn't have 3-bet the river.

My main concern was the river 3-bets in the first 2 hands. In the past I would have just called the raises because it seemed every time I 3-bet without the nuts I got beat. I'm trying to be more aggressive now so I figured I'd carry it to the river. I was just curious as to whether everyone here would 3-bet or just some and I got my answer. Thanks!

Side note-- It's incredible to me how much your luck can change from one day to the next. I know the cards are random but boy, they sure don't seem like it somedays.

Hand 1: Some might argue that you shouldn't 3-bet the river - but not me. I 3-bet almost every time.

Hand 3: Just call the flop in hand 3.

what about it? he probably has an Ace that paired on the turn, was afraid of a 2 pair, then gets his 3rd on the river and thinx they're goot. nail him! if he has the rivered full house...lucky schmoe, oh well [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I think you played this fine. You'll see just a naked A most often, rivered boat sometimes but least often. The raise is a solid value.

hahaha, that's what i was thinking when i read the hand: not to 3-bet, but after thinking about it, there is no reason to give him credit for a boat or slowplayed trips or an obscure Kx pairing.

i still don't think i could 3-bet though. on the turn, he probably has a good idea we have the flush and he's still raising us on the river.

First two, I play exactly the same.

Third hand, I don't like the flop raise, making the field face 2 cold. If you could trap a lot of players for bets, it's great. But here no one is between. Turn is great. River, I fear a flush once my 3 bet is capped, but I think you (obviously) have to call, and will get paid here enough by TT, 66, AT, A5 and A6 to make it worth the 3 bet in the first place.
