i think you should charge the royal flush draw the maximum. don't give him a free card to beat you!!

just kidding.

but anyway, it depends. what's your table image like, and how aggressive are these guys? will a flop three-bet actually make them slow down or will it make them believe that you're just bluffing?

Not sure. Button's a player I normally stay from, TAA, MP I have like 3 hands on. I'm 99% certain that if MP checks, button bets this turn after calling two cold.

I think I might have gotten the flop capped here, but not sure if I get the same action on the turn.

Problem is, if you three bet, mp caps, then they have to face two bets cold again, that might make them run away.

But... they didn't leave to first two bets, so probably won't to next two. I would probably go ahead and bump it up again on flop, but I really have no good reason other than my mouse is stuck on the bet button when i play shorthanded limit smile.gif
Actuary
given yuo got max value on turn, it seems like it worked..but absent the turn action...I'd think you coulda played it for (edit) 4 more Small Bets..turn action biases me towards, yes..played perfect.
Mattnxtc
thats how i woulda played it...i hate to get to aggressive on the flop and lose BB later on...turn and river are easy to play since they do most of the betting for you
guinevar
You played it fine. There is no way the other players the the betting for you after you threebet the flop.
Smasharoo
I did cost myself $20 on the end, I think.

I almost never chat on Party, like once every three weeks, maybe, but for some stupid reason as I three-bet the river I chatted "we chopping AK?"

He said "****. No." and just called.

Good luck.

wtf did they have to do all that betting?

Haha.

That's definitely $20 burned.

Smash: "I have the mortal nuts, do you too?"
Other dude: "No...dangit. My kings SUCK."

Button had KK, I assume MP had a missed flush draw. Which is a shame, really, I'm sure he was good for at least 2 more if he hit it.

Good luck.

MP had J 10 spades

Button had a King
Blink20
ah KK

that's what i meant wink.gif
Smasharoo

Hence me ussually not chatting smile.gif
guinevar
I chat sometimes, but I don't normally say things that can be likened to "You can't possibly beat my hand." :wink:
Smasharoo
I really thought we were chopping.

Never entered my mind he wouldn't three-bet KK in position or that he'd overplay Ax here.
Mattnxtc
i thought he was overplayin a lower boat...guess thats why i dont play 10/20 on party
mk
yeah, button calling 2 cold tells me he's not going anywhere. i'd probably play it faster, hoping to get it capped on the flop.

Did he show?

Without a 3-bet on the flop I would've put him on Ace Rag.

The 3rd guy pretty obviously had the flush draw...

I gotta lay off the drugs. And I have to read the whole thread next time, you said the same thing about the last of 3 betting preflop.

Next time Ill just say good hand and move on...
creepy20
you just made more than twice my br on that hand...i hate you...oh and I don't 3-bet this flop....you want flush draws staying in to pay on the turn raises you are going to put in....... nh

I like the way you played the flop, thinking of it from the point of view of your opponent. If you call a raise, I'm putting you on two pair, maybe A-weak. Capping it just chases out everyone but the strongest hands (another Ax, Kings, or a straight/flush draw). I'm pretty comfortable in this situation, and I want everyone to tail along with me, so I'll wait until the turn and get my big bets in here.

Also keep in mind that you are in early position with an agressive bettor after you, so a check/raise on the turn is a strong possibility. If the situation is reversed and the agressor is behind me, I'll cap the flop to get the most money in when I can.

Oh, and I'm guessing QJs vs KK.
