Timid play of TT

Downrock · #1 04-22-2005, 09:48 PM

I'm thinking my play of TT is pretty weak and something I need to work on. Any suggestions would be great. I'm not really sure on what i should be doing on a flop that comes down like this. Thanks.

How aggro do you think you should be with an ace on the board, given the well-documented prediliction of LL players to go with ace-rag? In this specific instance, all you had was 3rd pair, with a flush draw on the board. I might be inclined to raise the turn for information, prepared to fold to a 3-bet, but, depending on reads I might fold this when bet into, too. I guess it's pretty read-dependent, for me.

I also was thinking of raising turn to find out where you were at. With my clicker close to the fold button. Just my two cents.

A turn raise would be terrible. If he calls and checks the river, you can't bet, and if he 3-bets you have to fold yet you could have seen a showdown with the same amt of money. I would go for a flop bet/fold. If called on flop and lead into on turn, I fold

Information gaining on later streets is a major cause of chip spewage, cut it out.

This is probally why I have a bunch of red numbers next to my middle pairs on PT. Please disregard my post. I'm going to crawl back into my hole now. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I wouldnt bet this flop personally. I would call down like you did on the turn, villain could easily have a Queen.

That's why I wouldn't call down. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I like that line.

Personally, I'd follow up my PF raise with a bet on the flop to represent the ace. I bet or check the turn depending on who calls.
