I don't like getting c/r'ed here, so I call (is this an easy 3-bet?). What to do when the board pairs and the SB bets out? An early hand at the table..

easy fold on the turn.

You are drawing dead to and A/K with a 3,6,8

And barely have the odds to draw to 6 live outs. (if they were all live)

You don't have to bet this flop 100% of the time in a loose passive game.

I did.. (And by lost in the subject I mean "confused" - not results lost )


Do you check the flop? Is the call OK after the c/r?

Hm...

I bet that flop 30% of the time.
Generally, it's not a good flop.
Str8 and FD's, and all we have are overs and bdfd.
Against 3 opponents, unless thay will fold the flop, I will check often here.

After the c/r, the call is fine.

Wouldn't you want to make flush draws and straight draws pay to see the turn and river? And we have position on the field, and they have all shown weakness in checking...

The check raise scares me, but he probably has an 8, unless he's trying a free card play of some sort from out of positon...

I think the turn leaves you drawing pretty much dead though, because I would put him on an 8. You're calling the check-raise because you think catching an A or K make you the best hand, now we're not very confident about that, so a fold is by far the best play here.

This is pretty much how I play it, but like I said in other posts, I suck at poker. :roll:
