Hand vs stox - Page 2

river is so close that it borders on trivial.

i dont think you should fastplay the flop. good players fastplaying the flop = warning to other good players that you have a big hand. i dont think you would play a naked T or even T with a pair as aggro.

You think the T in your hand swings it that much?

The ten of heats is very important because almost every hand that has 2 heats in it that stox would 3bet on the flop include the ten.

That said I think its a 3bet even w/o the Th.

I really dont see him callin a 3bet with a worse hand here. Furthermore, what is he raising w/ on the river that we are ahead of and will get called by a 3bet? He knows that BK isn't going to fold given the size of the pot, isn't that more incentive just to call?

Seems to me like he has you or he has a hand that cannot call and 3 bet and he is making a thin value raise with a Jack or even a big pair. Therefore I don't see the value in 3 betting because I don't think he can call you with worse.

He's making one of those cute wittle scare card protected marginal raises. Bring it back to him for three.

I understand why we feel our hand is best here, that's one thing, but raising and expecting him to call with a worse hand is a whole other issue.

BK and Stox have all kinds of history against one another. He'll be calling plenty.

well then given the history, are we calling a cap???

I would 3 bet, but I think it is close.

The way this played out, I think a three-bet is really, really thin. I probably just call because I'm not good enough at poker to fold if he makes it four bets.
