He folded.

So what, I gave results.
you all can handle that.

Is there a place for this play or does it just work more than it should for me?
His stats tell me he pulls this with a lot of hands, and folds to a 3-bet

If he caps I can lay it down.

{deleted section because I had me out of pos, and I'm not}

I'm starting to use this line more myself. I think it's good because:

1) it may fold higher pocket pairs
2) you won't get played back at by Ax because he'll fear AK
3) if you showdown, you get more action from him wiht your Ax hands, which means 1) no longer applies and you have to stop using this line with Ax hands

So yeah, I like to mix this line in every now and again. If you're not folding, this line works best because it gets you to showdown the cheapest way, and gives you control of the hand which gives you fold equity.

If he calls the 3-bet, fire again on the turn. How many posts do you see here where people call flop 3-bets with pocket pairs, hoping to outdraw what looks to be a pair of aces on the turn. So bet the turn and check behind on the river. This is much better than checking behind the turn and calling/folding to a river bet UI.

ty.

I'm silly, I had that I was OOP

ok, yeah, I got the play down on the turn and river when in pos.
Bet Turn, take free river


easy laydown if c/r'd on turn, I presume.


************
at table:
to direct left of these two guys..should be good practice!

51/26/2.08 after 380
32/9/2.3 after 320

one is new
the other, actually folds a lot when shown aggression.
But also calls down once in a while with just bottom pair...
He is at 16 BB/100 over those 380.. so, maybe something to his way, if you can get on the right tables

What do you do is he calls and lead the turn?
What do you do if he caps?
How often do you think you can win the pot right here?

I fold to a cap
I fold to a turn lead
I call a river donk bet

I suspect this 3-bet wins the pot from a taggy 2/4 type at least 20%.

Just pick your spots careully, or you are spewing. I like it in this case though.

i'm just very careful about the opponent i do this against, as opposed to cards or other circumstances.
many TAGs play an A this way, though SLAPs, TAAs and others might play a 7 or draw like this.

I'm a pretty typical TAG, and i often play a weak ace like this.

I don't think he calls with a weak Ace preflop all that much
