Re: Playing from the blinds: 9Ts
[ QUOTE ]
By - big hand - you mean our big draw? Sure we're the favorite on the flop to nearly every hand - but if we wait for the turn - we're usually a 2:1 or 3:2 dog...the pot may become bigger but our odds of winning are less... I'd only move in on the turn if I sensed weakness in the villian and knew my FE to be through the roof. Note: I've "slowplayed" exactly one draw. I had 2nd pair, and an OESFD on the flop. We don't have a hand worth 'slowplaying' here [/ QUOTE ] I don't want to slowplay at all. I want to 3 bet push as Scuba did, not checkraise push as tigrite wanted to. It adds chips to the pot, and makes our hand look as strong as possible. There will be 90 chips in the pot if we checkraise push, but if we 3 bet push, there are 210. I think it gives us more credibility for a strong hand, and increases our FE. And i consider this hand a big hand because even tho its not a MADE hand, its still a favorite against most hands on this flop. Maybe i should have used the term "huge draw." My appologies. |

Re: Playing from the blinds: 9Ts
I think that having t210 in the pot if we 3-bet push decreases our FE because there's more chips in there, personally..
And Scuba, the KQs hand is fine as well, I'd probably do the same. |

[/ QUOTE ] I think it increases our FE just because it gives our hand more credibility than check-raising and putting anoter 700 chips into a 90 chip pot. But i'm sure both are viable options. |

[/ QUOTE ] True - but conversely you're laying out better odds for him to call with. |

Re: Playing from the blinds: 9Ts
I misunderstood you Pastorbator...sorry...
Its a toss up I think...w/the 3bet you win more - but you're also encouraging a call from a legitimate hand more... W/the CR you're winning less - but probably winning it outright more often. |
