Getting back into limit

TheWorstPlayer · #1 07-21-2005, 12:32 AM

Well, I was getting killed with my maniacal ways at .5/1 so I decided to give 2/4 a shot but to try to play a bit more conservatively. Did I manage to play TAG here, or was I a freaking LAG again? Damnit.

Raise the flop, you are probably well ahead. Bet out the turn if SB checks to you. Apart from that it looks good. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

That was my main question: raise the flop or raise the turn?

Raise the flop, your hand is fairly vulnerable. Make MP2 call 2 cold. If SB calls and checks the turn then bet.

If SB 3 bets you are probably behind and I'd probably call and check/fold the turn UI, but I'm not really sure about this. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

These two statements are directly contradictory.

hey, TWP. One good turn deserves another.

This hand is fine. I like waiting for the turn to raise. You are only afraid of 3 cards in the deck. Raising the flop is fine, but raising the turn is finer. Waiting for the river would be very bad. Nice hand.

They are directly contradictory? I seem to feel that way about lots of hands, like JJ with no overcards on the flop.

I'll ask you this: what does it mean to be 'well ahead'? Be as specific as possible.

Ah, I see what you are saying now, thanks.

Thanks. If he wasn't short stacked, does your play differ? Do you fold to a turn 3-bet?
