Sheiky 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I think that it's best to raise here. Link to post Share on other sites

LJB723 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Re-raise preflop. His actions look like a K that doesn't want to lose action. I'd raise here and fully expect him to shove, which I'd fistpumpinstacall. Link to post Share on other sites
NoBBiR 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Reraise turn. You have to make him pay if he's drawing to a flush while he's still drawing to it. If he has a king, he'll reraise and we shove or call if he shoves.Game Over. Link to post Share on other sites
MikeBauer26 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 reraise preflopWhy? To take it down right here?Assume he reraises to 1.80 and villain calls. The Flop (about 4 $ brings no third J) but villain insta pot bets. Now what? about 6-7$ in the pot. Around 3$ to call with JJ?If villain reraises we can fold the JJ?I like the call in position. But ISApreflop strategy. Link to post Share on other sites
mtdesmoines 2 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 MP2 bets $0.6, Hero ? do we c/c and raise river or put raise in here?AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA .... !!!!!!!!!!You can't keep my chips out of the pot here. Raise to $2.75, call call call the shove. OK? OK. Link to post Share on other sites
Money022 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Why? To take it down right here?Assume he reraises to 1.80 and villain calls. The Flop (about 4 $ brings no third J) but villain insta pot bets. Now what? about 6-7$ in the pot. Around 3$ to call with JJ?Hypothetical at best. That's no reason not to raise with premium pairs, fearing overcards. Since when do we play JJ for set value anyway?What about the times he calls with AK/AQ/KQ and it's no higher than a T high flop. You're happy to have $4 in the pot now, aren't you? Link to post Share on other sites
AimHigher 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 1. Why? To take it down right here?Assume he reraises to 1.80 and villain calls. 2. The Flop (about 4 $ brings no third J) but villain insta pot bets. Now what? about 6-7$ in the pot. Around 3$ to call with JJ?3. If villain reraises we can fold the JJ?I like the call in position. But ISApreflop strategy.1. Because we have a hand that is ahead of his raising range and we want to charge him for seeing a flop with an inferior hand and playing out of position against us. We are not trying to take the pot down, we are trying to get value from a strong preflop hand.2. That depends on the texture of the flop and other considerations like his aggression factor. Why do we bet? To get better hands to fold, and worse hands to call. What hands in his range would lead this flop? If he calls and then pots it on an AK2 rainbow flop, I am more inclined to fold it. If he pots it on a 333 flop I'm raising him and trying to get my money in.3. Probably, unless the percentage of the pot we need to call in order to win it is greater than our equity against the range of hands he is shoving on us with. See Simo's comments in this thread (http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-forum/index.php?showtopic=121179) as we are discussing a practically identical situation. Link to post Share on other sites
BellaireDrew 2 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 most times i 3 bet here with JJ pre but i think its ok to call in pos some of the time. but thats not the question at hand. Link to post Share on other sites
MikeBauer26 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Since when do we play JJ for set value anyway?I do -> but I am still tooo tight sometimes. I used Sklankskys preflop strategy and hence did not reraise with JJ for the last 75.000 hands1. Because we have a hand that is ahead of his raising range and we want to charge him for seeing a flop with an inferior hand and playing out of position against us. We are not trying to take the pot down, we are trying to get value from a strong preflop hand.Now I get it... :-) Link to post Share on other sites
d0c 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Because we have a hand that is ahead of his raising rangeLet's dismiss the small sample size for a moment.13% raising range is not very wide but JJ is still way ahead of it. The best part here is that 44% VPIP hints that his raising range is not much wider than 3bet calling range, which is why we need to 3bet this guy with JJ 100%. Link to post Share on other sites
