10/20 A4s
5-handed 10/20. Folded to me on the Button and I raise A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. The SB, a generally too loose and too aggressive player, calls. The BB, who is observant but overaggressive, also calls. He tends to give too much action postflop, specifically against me. I have been playing slightly less LAG than normal to compensate for the fact that the overdefend and overdefend overaggressively, but I still probably have a bit of a LAG image. I don't play much with SB but BB and I play quite a bit together.
So anyway. I raise, SB calls, and BB calls. The flop is 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Checked to me, I bet, SB folds, and BB checkraises. Let's play this one together. What now? |

Re: 10/20 A4s
3-bet the flop. In blind steal situations you will often be 3-betting in position with the bare A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] so you might get more out of this guy by just stepping on the gas now.

Re: 10/20 A4s
He'll never give you credit for flopping the nuts in a blind war. Might be a good spot to 3-bet. I don't like calling and raising the turn because it can be super obvious what's going on.

Pedal to the metal. I got 6 bets in this same situation live, before the board double-paired on the river (with the top 2 cards, at that)...

[/ QUOTE ] Agreed. The best way to slow this guy down/maybe allow him to fold is to wait until a big bet street to raise. Three-betting now will suggest your messing with him and encourage him to go crazy. |

Re: 10/20 A4s
First we need to put BB on a range of hands that will checkraise you here. BB probably figures he will not be blowing you off the hand on the turn a high percentage of the time, as you will only be turbomucking not-clubbed high cards. I also don't think there's much of any chance he has air here.
I think he's checkraising the king of clubs, a made flush, any top pair, and a set. Can't put him on two pair. I'd weigh it about 70% TP, 15% made flush, %5 Kc or some kind of silly club/pair+club, and 10% set. With this hand range o' mine I really see no point in getting FPS for more bets on the turn. You really need to step on the pedal, because you can get a lot of bets out of him on the turn and river if he's got a really good second best hand. |

Re: 10/20 A4s
another key reason to 3-bet the flop that no one has mentioned is that a turn club is very likely to kill any action you would have gotten.
