Going to the wall with a \"BB special\"...
I'm playing in an online 1/2 6 max. game that is temporarily four-handed. Both EP and SB seem like decent players. The only reason I haven't left this table is that the Button is a weak, loose-passive. I'm in the BB and am dealt 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
EP limps, Buttons calls, SB completes, I check (4SB) 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] SB checks, I bet, EP raises, Button coldcalls, SB folds, I three-bet, EP caps, Button calls two more, I call (16 SB). (9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I bet, EP raises, Button coldcalls, I three-bet, EP caps, Button calls two more, I call (20BB). (9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I bet, EP raises, Button folds, I three-bet, EP caps, I call (28BB). Was I being reckless here? Or should I have considered that my seemingly decent opponent had me beaten here? |

With the action I would think that EP hit a set. He limped in EP so it seems likely he could hold 66. If the agression kept up on the turn I might slow it down a little on the river.

My line:
Flop: same Turn: check raise him to see if he was just +EV flush pumping, or he really does have a strong hand. If 3-bet call. River: check/call Even with a SH scenario I think you have to respect his caps on the flop & turn. You're not going this hard unless you have a set in many circumstances. |

You know exactly what the button has. Flop good and I don't even have any real issues with the turn. When he caps that, I don't think I'm putting in any more bets on the river. I would just check/call.
Other line I might take is check-raising the turn and calling a 3-bet. Brad |

I wouldn't 3-bet the turn. When he raises the turn I give him credit for a set and take it to showdown cheaply without improvement.

Results:
Opponent did have 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]...although I think that some of you who were "positive" he had a set may have been influenced by the action on the river. Indeed, whereas I do believe I went to far, I think that just checkcalling the river with a boat is too weak. Consequently, I think that betting out on the river, but just calling the raise, would have been the right amount of aggression.
