3/6 live hand from MGM
Full table, ive sat down for about 4 orbits.
BB is a loose/passive calling station. Ive seen him make many terrible calls, but this is the first time ive seen him get aggressive preflop. Hero is in MP and delt A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Preflop: One limper from EP, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, EP folds, Hero calls Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] BB bets, Hero calls Turn: T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] BB bets, Hero calls River: 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] BB bets, Hero calls |

Re: 3/6 live hand from MGM
Why not raise the flop?
Shouldn't this be in small stakes? |

Re: 3/6 live hand from MGM
I'm raising the turn. From your description, he's likely to call down if he's got a hand, and he may not lead the river. Raising the flop is also an option, but given your read, I don't think villain 3-bets with a worse hand so we collect more bets by waiting for the turn. Only 1 reasonable hand (AK) beats you, so you're ahead the vast majority of the time.
You have to find a raise here somewhere though. Arguments can be made for both the flop and the river. |

Re: 3/6 live hand from MGM
Hands like this suck, and in general I wait until the river to raise. When the 3rd [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] slides you are pretty much forced to raise there for value in case he has something like K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

[/ QUOTE ] Yea the turn was where i considered raising. My thought (at the time) was that if he has KK,QQ,JJ i get 1 extra bet from him by raising (assuming he calls down). If he has AK, i lose 2 extra bets (assuming he 3-bets the turn). I guess i just wasnt ready to lay down AQ to a 3-bet on the turn. |

Brad [/ QUOTE ] When i read this, i was wondering why wait til the river. Then i thought maybe raising the river will cause BB to be more afraid of a boat, so you're not likely to be 3-bet on the river? Im just confused [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Could you explain the river raise? |

[/ QUOTE ] They suck because you can't get aggressive with this hand. It would be different if the guy could have AJ or AT or something, but if the dude has Ax here it is AK and AK only. So if you get a ton of action on your hand, you are going to lose everytime. Therefore you just have to call all the way and hope that he is pushing KK or QQ or whatever. The river raise is just a value play. He will have AK less often then he will an underpair so you raise and hope he thinks you are FOS. Is it illigal for me to run good or something? This is total BS. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] |
