Both. I think I have MP beat (if he just calls) and I'm hoping to fold a better hand from BB.

You're not going to get many players to fold an AA or KK overpair too often.

[/ QUOTE ]

It doesn't have to work too often to have value.

EDIT: Add QQ to the list too.

I'd of slowed down after the villain 3 bets the flop then gone into call down mode.

Edit - i really don't get the river raise.

Flop play is fine. Turn raise is probably fine too. When 3 bet, I think you're in call-down territory.

I seriously don't understand your river raise. I think the excitement of the moment got to you. What is BB 3 betting the turn with that you are beating here? My guess is the BB hit his set on the river and was checkraising everyone.

It still needs to work somewhere if it has any value. Do you really think he's going to 3-bet the turn and fold to a raise?

Turn and river - I probably just c/c but I think u can make the same argument here that I did on the flop (it's just a more expensive way to find out where you are).

[/ QUOTE ]

So I put in the extra BB to find out I'm much more likely to be behind. And I'll call down anyway. That's a terrible line.

I didn't. Until he checked the river. Then I thought there was a chance.

Then why was he 3-betting the turn? With AK [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] as a semi-bluff? Seems to me that he would want MP to call, and not face him with 2 BB cold. I think if you paused at the river and looked at BB's line for the whole hand, what possible hand would he have played that way? I guess the only one might be pocket tens, and the jack scared him. That's quite a specific read to put on him though...

What hands do you put him on? Considering he is a reasonable player.

After the turn 3bet, I put him on AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT.
When he checks the river, I'm ruling out JJ.
I'm making a crying call if he bets very much expecting to lose.
