Villian is 28/25 3.00 but only over about 150 hands. No reads besides that.

Whats your plan for the rest of the hand? Is this an easy call down or does anyone put anymore bets in this?

I just call down.

At some point you've got to slow down and think set. When he raises your turn c/r, I think you call down.

RunDownHouse · #4 11-22-2005, 05:49 PM

The reason I don't c/r the turn is because I want between 1-2 bets going in on the turn, not 3-4. I forget who introduced this concept around here, but I really like thinking of plays that way and using it to help determine my line.

As for the actual hand, I call down, but I really, really think you're against a set. At best you're splitting with AJ, but even that would be nutty, so maybe "best case realistically" is a set of 9s. Not good. Pray for a river A.

So do you like betting into him on the turn or would you rather just call the flop raise and then check raise the turn.

RunDownHouse · #6 11-22-2005, 06:07 PM

With the flop being capped, I probably bet the turn and call down from there, because I could see a number of hands you beat that might cap the flop, opponent-dependent.

I think the flop 3bet is a must because BB is coming along for the ride.

My plan would have been bet-call on the turn. As it is, call down.

I bet/3bet the turn. The board is draw heavy and villain could have capped for a free card. There are plenty of hands an aggressive villain plays this way that will take a free card on the turn. This gets the maximum number of bets in when you are ahead, as villain may put in one more raise with a strong ace.

Which of those hands will also raise a turn lead? 3betting seems way out of line to me.
