200/400 hand 1

James282 · #1 09-18-2005, 07:16 PM

Hey all, since I basically just doubled the amount of live hours I've put in during the past 2 weeks I figured I'd post a few hands and see if you all think I'm adjusting okay. So here's hand 1 -

John D'agostino or whatever his last name is raises in the cutoff and I defend Ah2d so we take a headsup flop. The flop is Ks7s7d. I check, he bets, I call.

The turn is a 2s. I check. Thoughts?
-James

EDIT: I was planning to check-raise the turn.

I would usually just call down here, but I'm probably not fancy enough.

Unless the card was a T-Q.

you should reraise that hand some of time when it seems right to defend with it.

once the 2 comes your best bet is to check-call to showdown.

I think you're the kinda ballzy blind defender, that if played correctly, makes mucha $$.

Interesting, because I think that this type of hand is the worst type to three-bet. I'll rarely have a big draw that can stand the type of heat that he'll likely put to me once I "define" my hand by three-betting, and when I do make a decent hand it will be easy to put me on it(if an ace flops, for instance). I think I'd rather occasionally three-bet 87s than A2o - because calling allows me to represent so many more hands postflop.

It seems to me like if you're going to be taking ace high to showdown with any frequency against him, then you might as well three-bet it, at least occasionally. No?

This doesnt make any sense to me.

Build a bigger pot to make calling down more correct is what I guess he's saying.
