Default Blind Battles: Hand #3

SB is a very solid/aggressive player. He raises your BB alot from the SB. He never folds pairs against you and will often take acehigh to the showdown. He's tricky and often unpredictable. We play alot together so metagame matters.

All fold to the SB,

SB raises, You call in the BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Flop is QcTs3d

SB bets, what do we do?

Fold. No hand + no draw + board that hits his range pretty hard.

this seems like a pretty easy fold against this player. If you hit a J or 4 he's often gonna have a lot of outs against you (overs + straights etc.) if you are good. Plus you might not even be good.

I think it is against the sort of player you describe. I peel pretty liberally on the flop against these players, but I don't think your hand is quite strong enough to peel here. Were you considering raising or something?

There are times to play back at them, there are times to fold. Obviously you aren't going to fold every time you miss, but this certainly seems like as good of a place as any to do so.

Interesting topic. I think a board with two broadway cards isn't a very good one to take a stand on because he's so much more likely to have some sort of pair or draw that will either play back or call you down.

If the board was Q63 instead of QT3 I'd say that making a play has a lot more merit. In that case he'd have to fold a lot of middling hands in the JT range and might also fold A-high fairly often since it won't look like you can have a draw (of course if he catches you at this sort of move any fold equity you had against A-high goes out the window).
