normally fine but in this case not fine because the chances at least one of them has a draw or a weaker K is so high that you do your bankroll a disservice by not 3 betting here.

I've been taking a decent amount of flack from a few people, yourself especially for spewing these days so I think that may have slightly clouded my vision at the table.

I also agree with stox that a 3 bet is best. I almost always would here. Like I said I decided to change it up and it sounds like you think it was a bad idea. I'll remember that and save my cold calls for a little less aggressive retarded opponents.

if you like money dont take my hold em advice as any reason to change the way youre playing 300-600 games youre killing.

but i agree, stox saying you were wrong preflop is something to take into account.

i just realized me no speaky the good ingles...

i meant calling or raising ev > FOLDING, not calling.

in any case, yea i think upon further reflection 3betting is best in almst every case.

folding blows though.

He's like a 55/35/1.1 6 handed player. Post-flop he's mediocre.

The button is LoisLane, a super agro donk who's down like 40k at this point and is playing absolutely horribly. I 4 bet her on a T76 flop with KT after she 3 bet me pre-flop and she called down and lost. She's playing scared of me now kinda. She commented in the chat how she's tilting and it's evident.

I wish I had the b/r to be here if this is a typical game, and 'mediocre' means any decent 2+2er should be ahead.

That said, it looks like there's about an equal chance of you being behind, or ahead to a drawing hand, so I call unless I had some knowledge of what a turn raise into 2 other players meant. Steve won't fold a flush draw for 2 bets. He may reraise if he has A/Kx [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or a set. I'd re-evaluate if Steve raises behind.

yup, my key point is that cold-calling can be useful vs a thinking opponent, but when you have a chance to isolate a bad player, it would take some very good reason not to go for it.

Your investigatory powers are almost as good as the inspector himself.

agreed. PF is a 3-bet (but as bk says he's changing it up).

Turn you can, however, end up putting in 2 extra BB if it's capped behind, obviously if Steve has a good draw you don't want to let him in cheap, but if he has a poor (eg 4 outer) draw you don't want him to leave.

I wonder if anyone would/could/should find a fold to a cap from marrakes?!
