3-bet the flop. If button capps and SB is still around, fold the turn UI. You likely behind to button and there is a >50% chance your outs are tainted by SB.

If button just calls the 3-bet, lead the turn. If button raises, you are probably behind to an overpair or a set of Ts. If SB calls 2, definitly fold. If button raises and SB folds, well, you are behind, but you'll be getting 11:1. Call the raise and fold UI on the river.

Personally, i am most likely to fold this hand preflop unless i am in a very wild game. I know its suited and you have reads on your opponents, but there are too many people left to act.

On the flop, I think the check/raise is standard here. I dont think he is very likely to 3 bet you with over cards. Therefore I would check/raise the flop, call a 3 bet and check/fold turn unimproved. If he calls the check raise, I am leading the turn and folding to a raise. I think that sb is on a flush draw or over cards fwiw. Playing the hand this way I believe gives you the most knowledge of others holdings.

No. A CR traps SB for bets. The pot is big. You want to knock SB out. Lead into the PFRR.

thanks a lot, I agree with what you are saying.

jediael · #6 06-21-2005, 07:44 PM

yes, that's why I was leading the flop.

Yes. I would CR this HU and lead from there. If 3-bet, I would lead a non-heart/K/Q/J turn and call down/lead the rest of the way.

Put the button on a range of hands and see if it's worth paying 2 more BB to see if you're beat.

This is what I'd put a TAG on: AKs (hearts), maybe AQs (hearts) if he's feeling frisky, AA-TT, and a small chance that he's pulling a play with 99-77 (that's *if* he even uses that play).

Stats would help too. If his AF is greater than 3, I don't see much reason to think that we may not be ahead. If his PFR is really high, like 14-15+, he may be 3-betting lightly.
