The only way he can continue is if he has one of those hands that you are representing.[Axss 3x]

Had you bet the turn and he called, you could have checked behind on the river J, which I think will be good here quite a bit.

[/ QUOTE ]

does not compute.

If he calls with Axss or a 3 - my rivered J is no good.

the first part is a realistic assessment, but he easily calls with a different draw. lol. Should have mentioned that, I guess im just jaded by the fact that his river bet is a bluff or QQ.

3bet pf

float the flop.

3b pre.

If you just call, fold flop. If you don't wanna fold, just float with a call.

That's such a bluffable board to raise with air. What legit hands are you raising there?

Is KJs ahead of opener's raising range? Is it ahead of his 3bet CALLING range? If the answer is no to both of these then you're turning your hand into a bluff, which I suppose isn't that bad. But if it's ahead of his raising range but not his 3bet CALLING range then it makes more sense to call and see a flop IP.

yes

debatable, but we have position + aggression.

your argument isn't really applicable here.

Re: KJs vs LP mcTAG opener
 

Unless you have QQ+ you are never gonna be ahead of a 3 bettors calling range.

You'd be surprised.

Wait, are you saying a 3better who calls a 4bet? Or someone raises, gets 3bet and calls the 3bet? Cuz the latter is what I'm talking about.

I'm not really sure how it isn't applicable here... Care to elaborate? (I'm just learning all this stuff myself so this is good for me).

Re: KJs vs LP mcTAG opener
 

I am saying the latter. And it really doesn't matter because I don't think your argument has much merit. Position and initiative trump "calling range" and the much overused "turning your hand into a bluff"

Re: KJs vs LP mcTAG opener
 

Sorry to side track here but: Thats a pretty interesting point aj. If QQ+ are pretty much the only hands that are ahead of a 3 bet range then why do we do it at all with weaker hands other than to get pf folds? Does initiative make up that much of a difference? May sound noobish but Im really curious.
