77, raising PF

private joker · #1 09-29-2005, 07:46 PM

MP2 is in his first orbit, but so far he seems pretty unexceptional. BB is a 15/8/2 TAG.

Preflop: Hero is CO with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
3 folds, MP2 calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, 2 folds, BB calls, MP2 calls.

Flop: (6.40 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB bets, MP2 calls, Hero folds.

This is why I raise 77 in this spot, right? To get away postflop?

After a bet and a call on that board, versus a PFR who has yet to act, I'm thinking you're probably not ahead all that often.

And when you are currently ahead, you probably have a lot of cards to dodge twice.

The fold looks good to me.

I like the fold, I just wonder how you are connecting this fold to your preflop raise.

Sorry, what does 15/8/2 mean?

Good raise, good fold, but we're raising to isolate as well as represent strength and take it down on a lot of flops 2 or 3 way as well. If you mean that, by limping, someone will bet into you with nothing on a flop like this if you don't raise preflop, well yes, but the frequency of flops like this and an opponent bluffing you out of the pot are fairly rare I think, while you'll get this HU or 3-way pretty often.

What I mean is it's easier to interpret TAG's bet. It's more likely he's betting a K than a diamond draw, is it not? I mean, there's always a % chance he's betting a draw or small pocket pair, but when there's a PFR, does this make his bet a bit stronger? I dunno. You could also argue that because I raised PF he would be check-raising a K.
