pokerplayer24 0 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Def not folding. 3-betting or cold calling and seeing wat the sb does are both options. I think you're ahead to often to just fold this flop. Link to post Share on other sites
amarillotg 0 Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 i don't think folding is an option here either. i was really torn between calling and 3-betting. Link to post Share on other sites
TheCinciKid 0 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I guess you can call down here. You could 3-bet and fold the turn UI if it gets capped. I think I like that a little better than calldown, not sure though. I'm thinking I'm probably behind at this point. Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I'll go with raise.I really stink at palying mid-upperish pairs well.So susceptible to over cards.this flop would seem quite ideal.BB's pre-flop call of two cold makes me think he has hit a set; but often he would wait until the turn to raise.SB could have overs or 99-AA, obviously.Folding MP3 and maybe SB is worth a try in this big pot.

screech 0 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I'm in the 3-bet/call cap, fold turn UI camp.How would you guys play it if MP3 wasn't in the hand? Link to post Share on other sites

Some say, AK won't/shouldn't fold getting about 10:1 to call, and a gut shot; and I tend to agree..but I can hope he folds his equity away.I'll find out on the turn if AK or overpair/sets and I can fold then.

screech 0 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I realize I know very little how to play "perfectly" in these situations.You're not the only one.I have absolutely no idea whether it would be better to call if MP was in, or better to 3-bet. (I think everyone agrees the 3-bet is best with MP behind us). That's why I'd like to get a discussion about it.Benefits of raising:1) We define our hand early/cheaply2) We may get sb to fold at least a 6 outter3) ValueBenefits of calling:1) We get to find out how sb reacts to bb's raise. I think he's more likely to 3-bet a hand like QQ here then to cap it if we 3-bet. (we may still be behind and not know it if we 3-bet and he simply calls.2) If sb calls, it is very likely he has a big ace. We can then use the turn raise to really put pressure on him/setup a free showdown.That's all I can think of for now. Anyone have anything else to add? Link to post Share on other sites
amarillotg 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 i ended up calling the 2 cold.i really wanted to see what the sb's reaction was to the bb's raise. i had no real reads on either player but when the sb 3-bet pre-flop i imediately had put him on a big hand (there wasn't much aggression at the table in general). the bb's pre-flop call really had me perplexed. when he raises this flop i start to wonder if he flopped a set. i can't see him calling 2 cold and then raising this flop with anything other than a big pair or a set.i don't think sb is betting out here with a hand like AK. knowing i intially raised pre-flop and that he's still facing 3 players i would think he would check this flop and hope to take a turn for cheap.i was pretty sure that sb wasn't going anywhere if i 3-bet and that there was a good chance the flop was going to be capped by either him or the bb which leaves me to folding the turn UI.so i called with the thinking that the information would outweigh the value.

akishore 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 these are tough spots to be in, where yo have an overpair but your overpair isn't big, and you have information that someone else might have a bigger overpair.but, as always, we rely on maxims to help us get by:we win money in these games because we are AGGRESSIVE. we ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK.here, we need to get aggressive. let MP2 fold some overcards. pot is big enough that we can invest one more bet on the chance that we have the best hand and need to protect it.i RE-raise, BITCH.(said with strong southern/black accent like on "tilt".)(insert obligatory "bay-bee" somewhere.)aseem Link to post Share on other sites
akishore 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 so i called with the thinking that the information would outweigh the value.i disagree, yo.bb is often raising here with an overpair as well--the flop is freaking 5 high!! a set is much more likely to be slowplayed, and instead, the bb probably cold-called with 66-99 and thinks "holy omg wtf bbq cream my pants, i have an overpair".anyone that three-bets big cards (AK, AQ, etc.) is going to be freaking leading out. please, son, don't give me this trash about "sb wouldn't bet AK on this flop."and the information doesn't outweigh the value. information at these levels is very often unreliable. i would argue that you definitely should not fold the turn UI without further evidence that you're beat.raise it up, bay-bee!aseem Link to post Share on other sites
