Re: 16s: Bad Fold?

The thing is, big stack will nearly never push over our three bet, expecting us to fold.
If villain is solid, views us as someone who'd be able to fold TT/AK in this spot, he'd probably not risk nearly 4k HOPING we are a) not on QQ/KK+, b) folding marginal hands.

This will happen nearly never, imo.

I think our raise to 1100 or so

a) Looks way stronger than push to biggie
b) Makes pfr make retarded calls, which he wouldn't against a push

What you are saying is interesting, but your premise is taht BB is solid. A non-solid BB would probably seldom push over a reraise with a wide range, but could still call our raise leaving us in a bad spot most of the time.

Also I'm not sure I want pfr to call my raise.

Nice post vers.

Loxxi from a couple of your post there's something you need to be doing preflop that I don't think you are.

When sizing a preflop raise, you need to be thinking what your stack will be after the raise - what the effective stacks (depending who calls) and what the pot will be if you're called. If it's going to put you in a tough spot on the flop, such as this and your KQo post, you should be pushing preflop if you are really wanting to raise.

I'd only make raises like this with hands I want action against and I'm going to put all the chips in on any flop - like AA/KK. I mix in pushing AA/KK if I have history with the players at the table.

Thanks B, I normally do but this time I wanted to play it like AA and hopefully get him to fold. This was bad decision and I will just push next time. I'm learning.

loxxii, I understand your logic, but you have to remember, that would require your opponents to think.
