Default Re: I fall for the Triple

This is not a comment on your hand, but I thought it would be useful. It's from "Harrington on Hold'em" volume 1.
From pg 98
"make sure you pay attention to the most important player at the table - yourself.
1. How many hands have I been playing?
2. What hands have I actually shown down?
3. What would a keen observer think about me at this point?
Just because you're trying to play in a certain way doesn't mean you'll be perceived that way. The perception around the table may be quite different."

This section was very revealing to me when I first read it. Now I tend to think about "how do my opponents perceive me based on the way I've played my last 3 or 4 hands?"

maybe you are just a fish brian?

so this was my thought. If we call the flop c/r why not 3 bet the turn? MP called 2 first time around, so we assume he'll call the next 1 (or 2, if it is capped by our villian). If you feel like he is playing different against you, make a stand with this hand. I figure if we're capped on the turn then we can call a river bet from him or check behind, if we're so inclined (and have the option). With MP in the hand, isn't a turn raise for value? If villian just calls our 3 bet, then I think we can lead the river w/out too much fear of a river c/r.

One thing to take into consideration is villian's PF raise #s. Anything worth playing is worth raising, to him. That means lower PP, JTs, QTs, etc. Especially if he is singling you out, would we expect him to have a wider range of capping hands than JJ-AA, AK? Maybe building a pot with something suited?
