TT vs The field

wuarhg · #1 08-27-2005, 08:18 PM

BB is loose coldcalling alot preflop but ok postflop. 45/16, pf agg 1.5-2
UTG is very loose passive, 70/1, pf agg 1
MP is a LAG 41/26, pf agg 2

I wasn't sure if I wanted a big field here but I guess money in with the best of it is always good or am I wrong here?

Any comments on why you checked the flop as the pf raiser.

I lead this flop every time to prevent it from getting checked through by people with overcards.

Every other street seems standard

Bet the best hand on the flop?

Just so you don't get me wrong... I do understand what you are trying to do, but I really don't like it.

i don't like it either but not because it would check through -- rare @10/20 in my experience. every time I bet into the field when I raise and there's no A or K on the board I get raised -- so you have to bet here and possibly 3bet.

I check this flop with AK so I mix in a few checks with overpairs. I don't check a 100% with AK and I don't checkraise a 100% with overpairs or something else.

Don't get fancy with big fields. Play it straightforward and you will maximize your equity. HU is the time for the sexy.

Bet/3bet is the best line here for maximum chance at thinning the field and getting money in with your equity edge.

Good point. Perhaps I got too fancy here [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
