Blind battle with Bigbab
 

Bigbab is like 40/30/3 sorta maniacal postflop and we have tangled a lot mostly with me 3 betting him and him retaliating by capping light and spewing.

He opens in the SB which he has done every time its folded to him, I 3 bet in BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and he calls.

Flop is 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] he check/calls.

Turn is 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] he checks I check behind. (???)

River is 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] he checks I value bet, he checkraises, I quickly call.

Looks good, though betting turn and calling down from there is also a viable option. Just don't fold.

Re: Blind battle with Bigbab
 

I think betting the turn intending to call down a checkraise is a pretty close decision here. But overall I think you played it fine.

Re: Blind battle with Bigbab
 

the main reason that I think you can bet the turn here is because you can value bet a lot of rivers if called. If you can't checking is the play imo. However, I don't think its really a mistake to check, especially if he'll bluff the river pretty frequently. Since his range is so wide, a ton of his hands will lack showdown value at the river, so it would be great if all those hands bluffed.

If I bet the turn I would call down if raised. The way you played it I like the river bet and call.

Expert river line vs him but I'd bet turn intending to call down.

I think vs him I prefer to bet/call down the turn and then bet/call the river if he just calls the turn. With weaker Ace highs and King highs I would check behind on the turn.

Turn betters, do you call down a c/r on ANY rivar?

yes. and if he just calls the turn, i betcall most rivers, but bet3bet A or K on the riv

Re: Blind battle with Bigbab
 

Every street is standard IMO. If I bet that river, I am never folding this strong of a hand to this guys check/raise.

Re: Blind battle with Bigbab
 

Missing way too much value checking the turn IMO.

Re: Blind battle with Bigbab
 

When I saw the title of this thread, the only two things I thought of were "Don't fold" and "Don't check." I'm pretty sure any hand relating to him and people that play like him (sweeta comes to mind) can be summed up with those two thoughts.

Thanks everyone, I haven't run into this guy before but I'm back on Party these days so I'm sure I'll run into him again. He had KQo this hand so I won but yeah I missed a bet probably.

against lags that cannot help themselves from bluffcheckraising you need to bet the turn here.
