cwik 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 I bet $20 on the flop to see what I'm dealing with.Not quite sure why it is so important to over bet the flop here to find out where I am on a hand where I already know I have to improve to win.What do you all think he is raising the turn with, but not the flop?Cwik, you planned to bet/ 3-bet the flop all in?I think I might shove here, but I really don't know. I do know that I lose more money with KQs and JTs than any other hand. I think I over play them. Link to post Share on other sites

Roberts2003 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 OK, back up. What hand are you putting the villain on?theres no reason to bet out 20 on the flop like that. also you have not yet seen the villian do anything other then a preflop raise at this point in the hand, so that question is meaningless, as the range is wide preflop.

We're getting pressure and we have one card to catch our draw on a paired board. We went from powerful on the flop to tenuous at the very best on the turn. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I'm curious, but what does a turn c/r accomplish?Our equity falls considerably, obv as I'm sure you all know... do we think we can get him to fold better hands? Or are we just hoping he checks it through so we can see the river free? Link to post Share on other sites

The more I think about it the more I like it. It's a twicky play with the board pairing, I think you could probably even fold an overpair there, right?And we're usually never way behind, although he could have boated up, but it's probably a small part of his range, I'd think.

Royal_Tour 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yeah ok. The more I think about it the more I like it. It's a twicky play with the board pairing, I think you could probably even fold an overpair there, right?And we're usually never way behind, although he could have boated up, but it's probably a small part of his range, I'd think.well look at the action and the board.1 - villain raise preflop. 2 - board brings flush / straight draws, and we fire. he only calls.3 - His call is either very weak, or very strong. if he has Top set, why isnt he raising us?4 - a 10 turn. now if he has top set, he has quads., if he has mid set he has a boat. 2 hands which would want you to catch something on the river. Hate to sound like Rounders, but that would be his money card, and he would easily check the turn if thats the case.If he fires out the turn with quads or a boat, thats crazy. Then it becomes read dependent. Would villain really bet a made hand when checked too?which brings us to the check/raise, which is why, IF villain bets when checked too, he cant possibly have a strong enough hand to call a shovel. which gives us lots of FE, while still having lots of outs if he does call with 8,8 or AK Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Do we have to bet out on this flop? I mean, I can see some reason for it...just not my style, I guess. I'd normally either c/c or c/r right there. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd normally either c/c or c/r right there.really? leading there is really standard for me. I don't hate the c/r, but this is not a super aggressive opponent so I don't see why to take this line.Are you not from the bet your strong hands/bet your draws camp?

CobaltBlue 662 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Are you not from the bet your strong hands/bet your draws camp?I'm from the rarely randomly take the lead camp. That's partially a product of punishing the hell out of people when they randomly try to take the lead. It might not always be the best camp to be in...but it works pretty well for me. I'd much prefer to c/r both draws and strong hands in this HU situation. Now when we're more multi-handed, I'm much more likely to bet out. Link to post Share on other sites

Now when we're more multi-handed, I'm much more likely to bet out.I think if Hero leads 44, 99 and 910 into this flop, then leading is ok. I agree with you in that I prefer to C/R in this spot as opposed to lead just cause I think it has a better chance of taking it down with greater frequency, however, at 200NL-, these flop donk bets get played back at pretty frequently.

We're around a 3 : 1 dog if we're called. I don't think this is a bad play, but it relies on the villain folding a lot.Board: 4s 9s Tc TdDead: equity win tie pots won pots tied Hand 0: 23.377% 23.38% 00.00% 288 0.00 { KsQs }Hand 1: 76.623% 76.62% 00.00% 944 0.00 { QQ+, ATs, KTs, JTs, ATo, KTo } Link to post Share on other sites
