Default Re: 47s big draw, standard?

Is pre-flop calling ok here? I personally wouldn't call the 3 dollar raise without more players in the pot. Is 74s a good enough hand to play in this hand?

I agree it's pretty marginal (and it's not offsuit, so it's not the nuts...) but getting 3.5:1 preflop on my call closing the action with good relative position against a LAG who is going to pay off if I hit, I felt at the time the implied odds would justify a call.

Any thoughts on post flop?

I play the hand the exact same way you did, except I make my draw. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Just check/push if you play it that way, which is the way I would play it.

Default Unsurprising Results

Villain has KK and MHING.

What a shocker!

Do you have a different line to propose? check-call, check-fold?

What is your default play in this spot against a LAG?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm still learning. I would have folded preflop for $3. I don't have enough experience to know that I can play well enough after the flop to make this call +EV. If I did get this flop with this hand, I don't have a default play, which is why I'm curious if this is really standard.

I don't feel comfortable with any of the possible lines, which is why I'd have folded preflop.

I guess betting the pot and reraising all in or checking and reraising all in might be best, but I'd have a hard time doing it. The pot isn't very big, but I guess that is limit thinking. In NL I want to take my opponents stack, and the pot size isn't as relevant. With this hand I see a virtual coinflip and I'd rather get all in with my LAG opponent later when I have more of an advantage.

If I check/call, I think I'm a genius when I hit my hand on the turn and I check raise all in. When I miss and he bets the pot again on the turn I think I'm an idiot and wish I had pushed the flop so I could see both cards.

I'm not saying the OP's line was wrong, I'm saying I am inexperienced and I need to be shown the light. Anyone care to help me out here?

The problem with this is that your all-in is transparent, allowing villain to get off of his hand, or your opponent might check behind since a draw got there.

This move is not to be used with any draw, obviously, but more for really strong ones (OESFD, OESD+FD, FD+2overcards, etc.)

It typically creates a lot of folding equity that can push players off of current better hands, which is also where a lot of the value comes.

Once you get more comfortable playing hands like these and cards like these, this stuff will become more routine.

I don't understand how you have good relative position on the villain. Help me out?

Then you played it wrong post flop. Do you see why?

(I always wanted to say that.)
