Black aces on the button. UTG limps, folded to tricky CO who raises, you 3-bet, blinds fold, UTG and CO call. Flop is K-9-4r. UTG checks, CO checks, you bet, they both call. Turn is a 10. UTG checks, CO checks, you bet, UTG folds, CO checkraises.

I said call. Its heads-up and he's tricky, why do I want to 3-bet and stop him from continuing his possible bluff. He should also bet the river for me when I'm ahead and I'll save the most when I'm behind.

Default Thoughts So Far

Hand 1: Surprised to see so many call. Can this be good getting 7:2 with a possible cap behind you?

Hand 2: About what I expected.

Hand 3: Very surprised, especially by the raise votes. He bets into a flop raiser when a 4 straight hits the board and you don't believe him. Looks to me like he's scared I'll check it through because he's got it.

Hand 4: Again, about what I expected. I'd be curious if we all have the same reason in mind.

Hand 5: I think I have to change my thinking in these situations.

Hand 1: easy fold to me, if more players were in the hand i wouldnt mind makeing that kind of call as much b/c you could get paid handsomely for hiting your set. here they are charging you too much for a swing for your home run. Edit: Not sure that sounded right- meant to mean I don't like the risk/reward ratio.

Hand 2: I am 3-betting for sure on turn. See if he still feels like being trickie after that. If he caps, I will chill on river... unless i improve... which may include hidden outs.

Hand 3: i think i would like myself better if i could say i would raise here, but i wouldn't. i would call down unless it got crazy.

Hand 4: Auto bizet everytime. Will win this pot uncontested quite a bit. Don't like it when they call flop bet with better hands.

Hand 5: i refuse to do anything besides 3betting this flop.

Hand 3: I'd be interested in hearing from the "fold" camp. There's a shot you're ahead, and if you need to fill, you're getting 8:1 on the call (granted, there are people behind you). I wouldn't be worried about the LMP as much as the cold callers yet to act.

Hand 4: This is a no-brainer bet. Better hands might fold, and there's a distinct possibility of getting a free-card. Also, having the 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] means you can spike a set without improving anyone's hand.

Nice poll.

4 - I fold if my read says ABC, which occurs more frequently in party 2/4 than say party 5/10. However, assuming no one else raises 4th or 5th, you gotta call it down.

1. Fold
2. 3-bet.
3. raise - I still think his most likely hand is top pair.
4. bet
5. 3-bet. Get your money in now.

He might but getting 3-bet sucks here as you have to call w/odds/outs to fill, why waste those bets now, just call, call and showdown.

Go Sox!
