Have I lost my marbles?
This just happened.
2/4 PokerStars full ring Second hand at the table, so no real read on BB. I'm dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in the SB. It's folded around to me. I raise, BB calls. Flop K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I bet, BB raises, I 3 bet... I don't intend to put another dime in this pot unimproved. What do you think? |

Re: Have I lost my marbles?
Hmmm. gharp suggest a bet here and I'm not convinced he's wrong. That would be the absolute LAST money I would put in the pot UI.

Re: Have I lost my marbles?
I'm partially w/ gharp. I don't think you'll get very many immediate folds to your 3bet. People just don't do that. Hell, not many 2+2ers do that, and we're some of the finest folders on teh intertron. If you're going to pull this stunt, you have to be willing to fire at the turn. That's a 2 BB investment on a (semi) bluff into a pot that, at the time of your decision to 3bet, is 3.5 BB less rake. Does the combination of the times that you're ahead plus the times you fold a better hand plus the times you draw out on a pair add up to 40%? Does that make up for the times you hit an A on the turn and end up paying off a K? Blech. In order to pull this, I'm going to have to have a strong desire to show this hand down, in which case I'll want a read, and in which case I'll be wanting to get to showdown cheaply (rather than tossing chips around) anyway.

Re: Have I lost my marbles?
I don't think that you will fold so many people with a 3bet on the flop for the same reason I wouldn't fold to a cap: that looks so incredibly stupid that I think it is worth one SB and a check/fold on the turn unless you plan to never steal again on that table. I know that image is not so important online, but folding to a cap after 3betting is something, everybody notices...
Maybe you should have tried a check-raise. That's a stronger move and doesn't look so weird if you fold to a 3bet. |
