Re: Fun w/ 77
Blind defense is definitely an area that I could use some work on. My default line is this situation is to call preflop and then c/r the flop when SB drops out. I'm going to lead the turn if villain doesn't 3-bet. It sounds like a bunch of others default to this line as well. I use the Dude's line from time to time, but it's a variation play for me.
How much of this approach is game/site-specific? I don't play 3/6, and I don't play at Absolute. I'm sure that's a fairly tough game and I can easily imagine villain 3-betting the flop with all sorts of stuff since he's probablys sophisticated enough to know that our c/r could be any pair, any draw, and the occasional resteal.
But in my little games, I'm not sure that villains are generally that sharp. And it's not unheard of for villain to check behind on the turn if I wait to make my move there (that's uncommon, but it happens).
Maybe I should be using this line more often, but I think I'd want a pretty good read first.
