Default 3 handed - yay!

Villian in the SB is one lucky SOB. He bought in for 5 big bets and worked his way up to 35 big bets with...

Bah... That's not important.

Lets begin again. This is 3 handed now but SB villain had been around for 50 hands, most of which had been about 5 handed, and had VPIP close to 90% with close to 0% raise. Yep. Post flop fairly agressive and found it difficult to ever put him on any kind of hand.

BB villian is about 80% VPIP (I'm serious) but lacks the luck of SB villian. He's not important here.

So, all streets - opinions please. Check my spelling. I'm learning SH - only played a few hundered hands...

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (6 max, 3 handed)
--------------------------------------------
Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="red">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

Clearly there's no problem with preflop.

Flop: (6 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
<font color="red">SB bets</font>, BB calls, Hero calls.

Is a raise better here?

Turn: (4.50 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks.

Now I'm worried about 2 overcards so check it through.

River: (4.50 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
<font color="red">SB bets</font>, BB folds, Hero somethings...

raise - and fold to a reraise. if he had a T wouldn't he have bet the turn? and a flush is a long shot. he will with a 99% certainty put you on nothing less than a str8 because to him you're coming out of nowhere with your river raise. I think betting the river is betting for value.

That possibility didn't even enter my mind. Do you really have enough equity to bet with a ten here? I'd have thought not.

after all he called your raise from sb preflop. if he's got a T he probably has KT, QT, JT ot T9, then a bet is an absolute on the turn (3 additional outs to the 8 for openended str8 draw plus the fact that he already may have the best hand). AT or TT he would have reraised preflop I think. T8 and lower he would have fold preflop.

Yep good point. I'm not thinking like that in my play. But in this case I'm not sure he would have folded ANYTHING. Seriously this guy had 90% VPIP.
