i play 10/20 and easy situations still confuse me

[Joe826]

villain is TAG. i think my usual line would be to check/raise this flop, call if 3-bet, and then fold the turn unimproved. don't know why i did it different this time. i prolly should have led the river and folded to a raise.

anyways you can comment on the specific hand or gimmie your standard line.

I 3-bet preflop. In your shoes I lead the river. I don't see much value (or benefit) in raising the flop, but that's probably why I 3-bet preflop- I think you're ahead of a lot more of his hands than I think you think you are here.

Huh. I actually never considered 3-betting this preflop. I might be ahead of KJ, KT, K9s, K8s, QJ, QT, maybe Q9s.. and about even money with lots of pocket pairs.

There are a whole slew of Ax hands i'm behind though, maybe all the way down to A4s and A7o. I suppose I might be able to get a fold from a smaller pocket pair on a scary flop, and the hand would be easier to play post flop.. i'm just a little uncomfortable raising here.

Is this just a general statement or do you have first hand knowledge? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
