Default Re: Play along - Blind protection

I like to show down decent mid pairs against TAGS HU as often as possible, in other words im not inclined to fold because of the overcard.

If we raise the flop he folds nothing we beat nor anything that we really want to knock out.

I think our hand holds up just fine against villians range and I call.

now I'm wishing I had folded to the steal, but I'm here to learn, here goes...

Hero folds. We are not improved by the K, we have no redraws left, we have a pair less than middle pair, the bet has doubled, and the pot is not big enough to continue.

call preflop, but 3bet if he steals a lot. If I play better than the sb and he consitently steals I 3bet top 30ish percent of my hands, or 60-70 percent of the hands i will play. As it is, just call.

Flop, HU pot, pretty sure u have to call down, one of those situations where u make or lose money...play wa/wb, let him bet his bluffs/smaller pairs/etc or his ace. If this was multiway (more than a few players) u might be able to find a a fold (anybody agree w/ me here? This really depends on how many are in though).


Actually, question: say this flop is 3handed. Same action w/ a limper that called preflop to act behind u....what is your action? (seriously, everyone should do Bonus/Hypothetical questions in thier threads...they rule. Also I ask alot of questions because Im trying to help others out, some are pretty basic and I know the answers, some Im just curious what will be said, etc.)
