Party 600 | bah, board pairs and fish loves it
 

Villain is 52/18/6/265, a newly discovered fish. We have 60 hands of history at this table, and I'm running pretty tight at 19/9, despite having this guy and 2 other fish behind me. Not much of note here; I've taken down a couple medium-sized pots and appear conservative.

The turn bet certainly doesn't look like a flush draw or float trying to get you to fold (it's way too small); I think you're being valuetowned. EZ Fold.

Bet/fold turn, not close.

Always?? Doesn't this become horribly exploitable as you move up limits?

How so? Obviously if someone is likely to bluffraise a turn lead due to history or whatever then you are allowed to bet/call.

not talking about this villain in particular. someone said this should be the auto play. as berserk responded, ya, we could start calling if we think villain is out of line.

but i dont think b/f is a default optimal strategy here. im still hung up on the MOP stuff. Maybe optimal doesnt really matter, anyway, in most online games. Most good players seem to focus on exploitive strategy and adjustments, as opposed to a set optimal strategy which can be played irrespective of your opponents. only successful pro i know who leans more in the 'optimal' camp is hoss_tbf

Re: Party 600 | bah, board pairs and fish loves it
 

as stated, b/f turn is the line to take
