River choice

Villain is unknown before today, but I have generally observed him as a being pretty loose and potentially aggressive. The read is not firm, but he is above standard 3/6 aggression level I am sure.

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, UTG+2 raises, 4 folds, Hero 3-bets, 1 fold, BB calls, UTG+2 caps, Hero calls, BB calls.

Flop: (12.33 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, UTG+2 bets, Hero raises, BB folds, UTG+2 calls.

Turn: (8.16 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG+2 checks, Hero bets, UTG+2 calls.

River: (10.16 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG+2 bets.

How do we feel about raising and folding to a 3 bet?

I would raise and call a 3-bet.

Tosh · #6 01-24-2005, 01:15 PM

I feel that is one of the choices. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Against an unknown, but seemingly aggressive opponent?

We don't feel good about it.

I'd raise and call a 3-bet.

If he's aggressive, why not call the flop and raise the turn?

Since you played it like you did, I raise the river and call a 3-bet.

If he's aggressive, why not call the flop and raise the turn?

Cause that screams "big hand".

I don't get this. If he's bluffing, he'll just fold. Or, if he's bluffing with really big balls (unlikely, but possible), he'll 3-bet and push you off.

This seems like one of those lines that sounds cool and tough, but doesn't actually make much sense. I need more convincing before I rate this line higher than calling.

EDIT: Forget it. I see. He probably has a made PP which is lower than yours, maybe JJ or some such. Yes. I like a raise. What about possibly calling the 3-bet?
