too aggressive?

[Mustafa]

I think it looks good.

My question is on the river though.

What do you do if:
1) MP3 raises; Button calls
2) MP3 raises; Button folds
3) MP3 calls; Button raises

Is the pot big enough to call these raises here? I think I let 1) and 3) go but call 2). This could all be leaks though.

Is it bad form to ask additional questions in someone else's thread or is the answer to this just obvious to everyone but me?

C'mon, Buzz, seriously...are these decisions MORE difficult than what to do if you check and:

1) MP3 bets; Button calls
2) MP3 bets; Button folds
3) MP3 checks; Button bets

I'd say that any of the 3 scenarios we have to deal with are easier than 1 & 3 above. 2 above is probably the easiest of all, but we don't play poker for a 1 in 6 chance of an easy play, do we?

(Not to mention what you'll do to your cat when the river checks through and you get shown QQ and AdTx.)

yeah they all involve getting to showdown for cheap in small pot. Not about to spew/fold.

I think all three are folds but you're right that 2 has you in the best shape out of these. What do you beat? How often to people bluff-raise when the pot is still 3handed?

[Montrealcorp]

sorry but u all saying a check raise here is better then bet out,i just dont see how...
yes it work here cause MP2 let it go but if he was the one raising, your check raise wouldnt have done nothing to help u since no one would of fold when they would of call MP2 and u would only make a better pot w/o (usual u cant have the best hand here in a raise pot)making other fold since they will chase to the end...
dunno but for me a check raise is make people fold and find where u at,it worked great in this instance but i seriously doubt it work that nicely usuallly in a raise pot.

for me i would just bet out hoping to get raise by MP2(or MP3 in this case) and just 3bet it to really find out where im at.
this way,i feel much better chance to have it heads up and i find it always easier to plays heads up pot then multiway in early position...

by check raising here multiway pot and leading out like that,big chance u ll get trap often since someone migth let u lead the betting just waiting a good opportunity to raise u.

BUTf course if the preflop raiser would of come from late position then i totally agree with this play but it wasnt...

You're right. It happens a decent amount at the levels I play or maybe I'm just justifying the crying calls I put in sometimes, but that was well put.

[neeeel]

buzz, are you saying that you wouldnt donk the flop, or check raise, u would just call down as cheaply as possible because your hand is too good to fold, and not strong enough to be aggressive with?
