25NL: Turning My Hand Into A Bluff

[Daniel LeClaire]

SB has only been at the table a few hands. He hadn't done anything but fold and he sat with the max buy-in, so I assumed he was a TAG.

When he leads this flop I think his mostly likely holding is a pair lower than Qs or a monster. My thinking is that he will fold a pair, sometimes better than 6s, here quite often (if he is indeed a TAG). Obviously when he leads the turn I'm done with the hand.

I would rather call and raise the turn, but I think folding is best when he bets out and you still have a player to act.

[HighSteaks]

Can't see that as a blocking bet, looks to me like he wants to play a big pot, worth a shot with the flop raise but I'd be done with it too.

[RickA]

Agreed.

Definately raise these weak lead oop flop donk bets, you'll take it down more often than not, just make sure that you note that sb weak leads oop with apparent strength.
