Default Re: 30/60 Bellagio AJs Take 2

i normally play the foxwoods 20/40 game but played this game for a week in november. one adjustment I made while I was there was 3betting this turn - something I'd pretty much never do at foxwoods. In this game there seemed to be a lot more of this type of thing with flush draws and worse aces but at FW it's usually a boat.

river is a crying call for me but she certainly doesn't expect you to fold here.

She would most certainly call with an 8 here. Once in the pot she was not folding. Also she could have any pocket pair which trust me she's showdown bound with. Againgst a tricker or even regular player I don't mind a little slow play but against this pay off machine it's 3 bet city.

I figured a call on the river would be pretty much standard. However, in the hand I just don't see her bluffing here. Do you? The pots big and she's a Player who really just likes to call. Do you think often enough she could have a weaker ace that's kicker isn't on board.

THE RESULTS: I called she showed Ah6d. Barf!

Hi,

I'm the guy who was sitting two seats to your left last night when this hand happened.

Contrary to popular opinion this is a fold against her. It's a fold I'd only make if I was playing really well, but nevertheless it's the correct play. The flush isn't really even much of a concern here. I know I saw the results so I may sound biased, but she has you beat here every time.

I like the 3bet. It's almost always a worse ace in this spot. 88 she'd raise, 22 is possible, and A8 and A2 are both possible, but A3-AT are much more likely. She is definitely the type to play any ace.

Hi, I was 3 to your left in this hand, and you can put me in the fold category as well. However, I told Justin that I also am hardly ever playing well enough to fold against her. Oh well.

I agree with Doug, AK. There's pretty much no difference between AK and AJ here.
