6th Street Bet > For Value or Draw? Both?

[Roland]

Raise 3rd. You should be ahead of his range and you want to play heads-up against him. If some other call that’s fine too.

Just call 6th. There’s practically nothing he can be raising with that you beat.

Check-raise the river. People freeze up more often than not if you bet into them on the river like that, so unless you have a reason to believe that he’s aggro on the river a check-raise is best.

Also, I don’t get the title of your post. What’s with the “for draw”?

Play HU with a three-flush? Personally, I'd like some callers to pump up the pot odds. I call here.

I don't have that book, and I don't intend to buy it very soon. I've read West's and Kammen's books, and they don't advocate raising with a three-flush in early position. However, I'd be very interested in hearing what Mason and David have to say about it. If you don't mind, could you please elaborate a little further why raising is correct here?

Read 7CS4AP. Really. Both of the books you cite have some really substandard advice.

Raising third puts more money in the pot with what is quite likely the best hand. If it gets heads-up, you're more likely to win by pairing one of your big cards than you are if the pot is multi-way. Playing aggressively early may set you up to buy the pot on fifth street if the other guy hasn't made significant improvement. Limping isn't terrible, but I raise third street about every time.

So, there's a book out there, written by the best authors in poker, with advice you haven't seen in other books, and you refuse to read it?

The fact that you don't know why raising is a good idea should be reason enough for you to buy this book. Seriously.

I don't refuse to buy it. It's just that I'm going to China and New Zealand for twelve months next week, and poker books aren't among my top priorities right now. Besides, I only started playing 7CS about two months ago, and from what I've heard, 7CSFAP is exactly what the title suggests - advanced. I'm not there yet. Hence, I will wait before I buy this book.

Nice, I'm moving to Thailand in about 4-5 months. Let me know how you like china.

Yeah, I was rather curtly told to get the book a few months ago. I did and I wish I had earlier. If you've digested West's book, it's time for 7cs4ap.

BTW, another reason for the raise on 3rd is that you will get more action when you axually do have the pair.

3rd:I prefer the raise since the 3 flush contains 2 fairly high cards that are live & could pair.

6th:I would not re-raise since he knew you could easily have three 10's,but he didn't care & raised anyway.
