Ikke,

I agree that 3-betting the flop or raising the turn is probably better than the line he took. My concern is that sometimes steve will play a draw or a hand linke 65 fast and then we fold the best hand somewhere along the line.

Could u explain what benefits we get from 3-betting the flop or raising the turn that overcome folding the best hand every once in a while? Are u sure they are there? I struggle with this a lot online because people play hands so whacky and taking non showdown lines scares me sometimes.

Who says we can't raise somewhere along the line *and* see a showdown? This is a 100/200 shorthanded game against an opponent who has some tricky in him.

btw, in this particular spot I prefer usually waiting until the turn, since if I don't like the card that comes off I can just default into calldown mode.
