I assume he has an ace there.. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Should I have bet less on the flop for that information and if so, how much? PF ok?

I like hte bet, it can get KK/QQ to fold

[FalconTi0]

your PFRR is too large imo.

I would check this flop.

Because I have position or..? I mostly just use the bet pot button but I also occasionally bet a little more if I'm out of position.

Why? What would I do then if he'd bet?

It is at the large side, but not too large imo.

Why check flop? Would you check it if you had AK?

I would check this flop too but I've been getting heat for checking JJ on A high boards (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Board=microplnl&amp;Number=9237717&amp; Searchpage=1&amp;Main=9230218&amp;Words=+allaboutmyfetti&amp;t opic=&amp;Search=true#Post9237717). This case is better since there is no flush draw ...

Looks fine. I guess you can check behind, but if he leads turn you have no idea where you stand.

I usualy also check this flop. If checked to me I bet the turn.

I wonder if raising is better, cause you could make QQ, KK fold.

It makes you easy to read when you check when a flop when you didn't hit. You should also check flops where you did hit, giving villains a free card and not building a pot.

I don't like a rr here preflop at all OTB.

Not vs a tight passive (who'll give his hand away later) we have a made hand - we are only playing with 100BB and the ONLY times we get this guys stack are when he makes a big hand and we make a bigger one - in that case all the moneys going in anyway so there is little need to 3bet preflop. A tight passive usually isn't calling a 3bet without at least one overcard to our pair here or something that kills us - if we wait till the flop comes cos we have position we can make a much better more informed choice about what hands he's probably got after we see his action and the flop.

I'd 3bet OOP all day. (cos then I don't want to see the flop)

apres flop - we have position so use it control the pot and check behind - if he bets the turn he has an Ace - easy fold, (he's tight AND passive) if he checks turn as well he's scared of the board and we can take the pot with a bet if we don't like the turn much or maybe get a small value bet out of him on the river/induce a modest bluff.

he has Ax way way way way more often than KK/QQ here.

Don't think about trying to move people off hands at uNL it rarely works out and is marginally profitable at best - just value bet YOUR good hands.

Hand looks fine to me. I usually only 3-bet 3x in position (4x oop), but that's nitpicky stuff. Hand is fine as played. Make a note that your opponent check-raises after calling the 3-bet and move on.
