I think I'd just call the 3-bet on the river. Your play is so consistent with a big PP that when villain 3-bets the river you have to start worrying about 55, 66, or some random 2.

No stats makes this tough, but most reasonable opponents at 3/6 I would think would not be calling for nearly 1/3 of the pot preflop with 55/66 or a 2 (the blind structure at party is 1/3 right?). I think more often you are up against a big overpair here who is putting you on a lower one. Something like KK/QQ. They are also more likely than 55/66 so I think I would go ahead and cap.

I think the river cap is good because he doesn't have to fear a reraise.

River cap is only right if you think you are ahead more than 50% of the time. I think with this betting 55, 66, and a 2 will happen at least 50% of the time

DBowling · #6 06-24-2005, 02:29 PM

you dont think he would 3bet preflop with KK/QQ? As you said, its difficult without stats, but I think 33-TT are more likely than JJ and up.

3/6 is 1/3 blinds yes? If this is so SB made a pretty big call to have a 2 since he can't have a pair of them.

66 and 55 are the only things that hurt you here, but what hands would he pump this hard that he doesn't 3bet preflop? Any overpair seems like a stretch to be pushing this hard, maybe 99, TT?

I don't know, I find it hard to put an unknown on a big range of hands that you're beating right now, I really think it's 55 or 66 often enough that you should just call the 3bet. However, not being able to be 5bet does make the cap closer.

pokerstove says my equity against the hand range TT-55 is 80%

Under my experince there always seems be a cap no matter what once the board trips. Haha I'm results oriented.

Yeah, but against an unknown, how often is 77, 88, even 99 going to 3bet that river? I probably call the 3bet when I'm playing, but I don't know if it's right.
