JTs settle a disagreement with DeathDonkey

[baronzeus]

Well, I really don't want SB to 3bet me, as I suspect he will fairly often, so I usually call. At the same time, this helps balance the "implied odds" question. I think SB will check the turn with overcards as often as he will 3bet the flop with an overpair. However, the chance of taking a free card by just calling the flop is extremely small, since one of the passive middle players will bet the turn if the PFR checks the turn.


The more that I think about it, the more I like a raise...



Edit: reading hands posted on twoplustwo has made me realize that i've gotten too much into a robotic rhythm...I've been calling this for a long time without really remembering why or considering the benefits of raising.
