Also I think classifying this as a blocking bet from a random 25nl player is silly

Just because he doesn't know what it is doesn't mean that's not what it is.

In the limited amount of cash I play, I see these weakish bets from players with medium strength to weakish hands quite often.

what's scary about a Q87 flop at $25NL? You have an overpair, get it in.

Re: River bluff?
 

hey guys,

sorry if this isn't appropriate, but I'm trying to get better with my play when I have big pairs. Villain was an unknown to me so I had no reads. Am I looking at a set here ? an underpair?

I'd just call the flop bet in my games if that flop is rainbow and even usually if there's a flush draw on it. But I'd imagine it might not be as alarming when you get led into after 3betting preflop at NL25, so it's probably fine.

Also raise a bit more pre, I'd make it like $3.25.

Re: $25 NL w/ KK on scary flop
 

sorry, I just copied from micro NL post. The flop is all same suit... that is what is scary...

Re: $25 NL w/ KK on scary flop
 

Are either of your kings the same suit as the board?

Hey I'm fairly new to cash games,
CO is 61/8/1 over 250 hands, has no respect for my my c-bets.
