Default 10-25 NL 3 handed, 3 hands for review

Hand 1: Im in BB with 3500, SB is an unknown who just sat with 2500. Button folds, SB raisers to 100, I have black KK and reraise to 350. He calls. Flop: QQT two clubs. He checks, I check. Turn, blank. He bets 400, I call. River, blank. He bets 1000, I call.

Hand 2: Im in the SB with KK. Button raises to 85. I reraise to 275. BB reraises to 900. Button pushes for 3k. I push for 4k. BB calls for 3k. I thought this was an insanely easy push, but someone I respect disagreed with me, saying that he probably still what have pushed, but that its not cut and dry. Thoughts?

Hand 3: Now head up. I have 3.5k, opponent has me covered. I have a very aggressive table image, bordering on maniac-status. I have been doing a lot of raising and reraising preflop, without showing down many hands. Opponent is playing quite tightly. I get dealt AKo on the button and raise to 75. Opponent reraises to 225(hes done this about 3 times before, I folded twice and called and check-folded the flop on the other). I bump it to 1000 straight. He pushes, I call. Too aggressive?

hand #1: love it.

hand #2: KK 3 handed with an agg-ish table image? of course its an easy push.

hand #3: Its ok. you are either flipping a coin, or you have him in bad shape with and AQs type hand. there is a small chance he could have AA or KK, but getting the not too deep money in with AK heads up is never too bad.


hope they worked out for you.

I think in hand #2 the second reraise out of the BB to a raise-reraise always spells a very big hand. there are people that I would fold KK to I think.

yes, but 3 handed, with an agg. table image, and no great read (that he told us about), you agree its a call/push right?

Hand one I would have bet the flop and folded to a raise, probably check called the turn and river depending on what my read was. Hand number two I believe is definately a fold to a raise and a re-raise, you have to put atleast one of them on aces even on an aggressive table like that, you can find better places places to get all your money in. I am a limit player though so maybe I'm completely off. BTW if you read this FSUPlayer is that you beamer? that thing looks sweet. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hand 1: Fine. There is an opportunity to make or lose more if you can play brilliant poker but yours is a good default line.

Hand 2: There are many opponents against whom - even 3-handed - I would fold preflop. No clue if yours were they.

Hand 3: I do not like the preflop reraise although you must do that sometimes. If AK is a commitment hand against him your push after you reraise is fine. However, if you call the 225, you make it painful for him to reraise you preflop (he is now out of position with a big stack), you can still steal, and most of all you do not get weak aces to fold.

Hand #1, that's how I would play it.

Hand #2, that's how I would play it. (I can't get away from KK three-handed.)

Hand #3, I flat-call the preflop reraise since I'm in position.

Default Question

Why would everyone play the first hand the same as poster? What would be the plus and negative to making a small bet on the flop and folding to a raise? I am trying to learn this very difficult game...

Default Re: Question

Because you want your opponent to put money in the pot when you have a better hand.
If you bet then you discourage him from bluffing.

This is a standard way-ahead or way-behind situation. If he has a Q then then you have 2 outs. If he donesn't have a Q then he is drawing slim.
