That's what I've been told about this hand. But, well, I'm bored so I'll post it.
Charged up live 40-80 Hold Em game. A tight player raises under the gun. Three people coldcall. I call in the cutoff with 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. The BB, a solid but not over-the-top aggro pro, also calls. The flop comes 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Not bad. BB checks, UTG bets, one caller, I raise. It's folded to the BB who now takes the action to three-bets. UTG then caps the betting. The limper folds and I call to the obvious frustration of the UTG player. The BB also calls. The turn brings the 10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. BB now leads out, UTG calls, I call. The river brings the 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. BB bets, UTG mucks in frustration. Your action. Jeff |

i must have misread something, because i can't think of any reason why this isn't a raise. the real question is what to do if 3bet.

You've rivered most of his range. 75s makes up only three combos. Raise-call.

What in his range still bets the river? What do you think he puts me on after cold-calling preflop, raising the flop and calling the cap, then just calling the turn? If he reraises, what percentage of the time would you say I am being pushed any money?

Couldn't he put you on A7 of diamonds, or thereabouts? More specifically for his hand, his line seems much more like a set than 75 to me. Wouldn't 75 check the turn to the capper, to let you guys put bets in the pot before raising? I'd raise the river. |

the board's not paired, there's not a flush. the guy has represented nothing but an overpair and has given us no reason to believe anything different. raise so he can make a crying call or 3bet with TT. don't get me wrong, i suck and may be missing something. but i'm raising, calling a 3bet or capping depending on my mood, and dragging the pot a reasonable amount of the time.

[ QUOTE ] Wouldn't 75 check the turn to the capper, to let you guys put bets in the pot before raising? [/ QUOTE ] I would think so. But the capper showed obvious frustration with my immediate call of two more cold which was clearly not an act. So perhaps the BB figured there was a greater than normal likelihood of the turn being checked through. And, if it was an act by the UTG player, maybe he can get three bets in. FWIW, I was convinced I was against a set on the flop and turn. The river was where one could see being a bit concerned. Jeff |

I highly doubt I am going to get three-bet here by a set. After all, if I had a lower set, why would I not raise the turn if I was going to raise. Why would I raise the river when what would be a scary card for me comes out? Also, if I 4-bet him, that would not be a cap and I could be raised again.
Maybe you play in games that are much more loose aggro than I do, but if I get reraised I am dragging this pot somewhere in the realm of never against this opponent. Jeff |
