2 folds, Hero raises to $3.5, Button raises to $12, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($25.5, 2 players)
Hero bets $17....

The plan being to bet/fold and give him credit for AA/KK/TT. If he's got JJ, oh well.

I play it the same. I tend to give credit to 3-bets against unknowns.

I usually check/call in these overpair situations all day and reevaluate turn

With no reads this is what I will do as well.

Another option is to c/c this flop. Most times c/f turn.

What's your line if he calls? Are you ever seeing a showdown here?

This is what I used to do as well. I'm trying to get over my aversion to bet/folding.

i dont see what bet folding rly does. I used to do it a lot. I guess it stops us being 2 barrelled off the best hand. I guess adds some protection. But it rly loses a bit of value i feel

Psydoc · #9 10-30-2006, 07:45 PM

Is this a case of turning the hand into a bluff?

I thought c/c was standard in this situation...?

Maulik · #10 10-30-2006, 07:45 PM

I prefer c/r or c/c
