Guest Zach6668 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 SB's play is terrible.I don't know what to make of it.He calls 3-cold preflop with what that beats you? A8, A4, 88, 44?His flop play would have been a lot different I think with any of those hands.What about A5? He called twice on the flop, he must have caught some of it. His donk bet on the turn makes no sense. I just don't get it. I hate donk bets. I think with any real strength, ie set, he would check-raise.So in other words. I don't know what the hell he is thinking.As for your play:Any consideration into capping preflop? Raising the turn?Zach Link to post Share on other sites
econ_tim 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 i've given some more thought to this hand and i think i'm likely way ahead both players on the turn calling might be more profitable than raisingput CO on a reasonble preflop 3-betting range and he's drawing to 2 or 3 outs at max Link to post Share on other sites
WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 SB has 67 doesn't he? That is the kind of crap I've been running into.... at 5-10.I can't see any other way to play it. Depending on reads, I may cap preflop. Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 can we raise river against a predicatble player, and thus fold to a 3-bet?I don't see a reason to raise turn, as I agree we aren't in need of facing CO with 2, and SB has use drawing to <=5 outs, or he is drawing to <=5 outsI like he flop cold call Link to post Share on other sites
pokerplayer24 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Only big thing I do differently is I lead the flop. I'd rather trap mp1 for a bet while charging the sb 2 cold if the Co raises. Link to post Share on other sites
screech 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I think you're missing a lot of value by not capping pf. Flop is good. I go for a c/r too. It also gives you a better idea of where you stand with CO.Turn I like. CO likely has 2 outs against you. Try to get him to stay for the ride.I would raise the river.

zimmer4141 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Cap preflop/lead flopI'm raising the turn, want to make CO pay if he has a draw. Call down if 3-bet on the turn.In this case, raise/call river. Link to post Share on other sites
screech 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I'm raising the turn, want to make CO pay if he has a draw.What draw could he have? He cant have a flush draw because we have the Ks and the As is out.He has KK-99. Raising the turn does the opposite. It allows him to fold correctly. If we call, we may induce him to pay for his 2 out draw. Link to post Share on other sites
zimmer4141 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Yeah, I misread the hand. Call on the turn is fine as long as you plan to raise the river for value. Link to post Share on other sites

Actuary 3 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 can we raise river against a predicatble player, and thus fold to a 3-bet?close...darn...I had us folding to a 3-bet.Zimmer...you know I hate folding big pots, so I'm easily convinced that Raise-Call is better, but figured if we are 3-bet we're not good on this river.

Again, in real life I can't fold.Against a predictable player, I fold to a 3-bet in a heartbeat.Against all non-maniacs, this is a raise/fold situation. Depending on how bad I'm running, I will usually call a 3-bet. Link to post Share on other sites
econ_tim 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 this is normally a preflop cap for me in six max. i was playing without my "cheat sheet" and i must have reverted to my full-ring standards for this hand.now, a question: if i cap preflop, i have poor absolute and relative position for the flop. if i cold call preflop, i still have poor abosulte position, but my relative position becomes a lot better. also, i give MP the chance to cap, which could help me narrow down his holdings. and remember, me raising increases others' contributions to the pot by 4SB, but it only earns me 4SB multiplied by my equity edge. Is this better than improving my position on subsequent rounds? Link to post Share on other sites
screech 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Tim,I think your position sucks no matter what you do pf. And while finding out if someone else caps is a nice benefit, it's not nearly as nice as capitalizing on your immediate equity edge. With 3 opponents in the pot, this is an easy cap even in full ring games. Also, you get almost the same added info when you cap as when you let someone else cap for you. It's just that you get this information one round later. Link to post Share on other sites

(I have broken from SSHE on other plays, however)I don't have an argument against it. Link to post Share on other sites
screech 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Actuary,You don't think AK wins more than its fair share in a 4 way pot? It's only in trouble against AA/KK. It is very likely we have at least 1 of our opponents dominated. 4 way is too much equity to pass up even in full games. I would usually cap in a 3-handed pot as long as the 3-bettor wasn't too tight.Edit: There's also another very important reason to cap in favorable circumstances with AK (and other, more neutral hands like AQs and JJ). It helps disguise AA. Link to post Share on other sites

screech 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I don't have an argument against it. **** off.BTW, I'm not capping AK all day against any opponent in any situation in full ring or six max (I do it a lot more in 6-max games). A lot depends on the raisers and relative position.Now argue! Link to post Share on other sites

Garn 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 i raise the turn b/c it wasn't a scare card. if you think you had the best hand on the flop what changes your mind on the turn. Get in there for a raise. If he 3bets call down. I see you ahaead in a lot of pots here. Link to post Share on other sites
