Unique Preflop situation
 

This is clearly not a standard 3 bet, villain here is 60/40/3 and just super spewy so i like isolating him, a few unknowns behind me tho so idk if isolating is a good play or folding and waiting for another hand is better

<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>,Hero ? i want to be ballsy here

Re: Unique Preflop situation
 

im happy to play any hand possible against someone with 60/40/3 over more than 10 hands.

Re: Unique Preflop situation
 

standard 3-bet against this opponent?!

Re: Unique Preflop situation
 

do most just play it safe and wait for a later hand?

Re: Unique Preflop situation
 

he's a 60-40, i'm not folding

with a hand like KTs, I'm ok with just calling if there are bad players behind me. I want a 5 player pot with KTs.

Holy crap!

3-ball man

3-ball K5s as well

Re: Unique Preflop situation
 

KJ is an auto 3-bet here, reraising here is fine and good. Though tbh I call here sometimes because these types let you get lots of value when you flop a pair or draw and you can choose whether or not to protect since you have good relative position.

he rarely limps, but i bet he does so a lot more with AA-QQ than with 76o.

i like this thinking, I AM ALWAYS ISOLATING HIM if less players are behind, the point was to stress that i still have 3 unknowns behind me that i can get in trouble with this hand.

Re: Unique Preflop situation
 

a hand that is a suited connector where i still have good equity if someone behind calls i like alot here, villain never folds postflop and just jams most pots

Re: Unique Preflop situation
 

If a TAG behinds you caps it sucks

If a fish behind you calls you still get your money in with an edge and maybe position.

Also. Note that when a players has a PFR of 40 his opening standards will often be looser. Maybe 50%. The fact that its only 40% is since they will just call a lot of hands when there is a raise before them.


Seriously. When LAGtastic morons with 40-50% opening ranges open you should 3-ball just about anything playable with a bit of SD value.

Not only do you have an edge of the money going in but you will absolutely rape this guy postflop in position.

3ball

Re: Unique Preflop situation
 

thanks guys, this was a spot i have trouble with when people are still to act

Re: Unique Preflop situation
 

When I read the preamble, I was expecting to see something really marginal like K7s. Then I saw you had KTs and thought LOL fist pump 3 bet.

Re: Unique Preflop situation
 

lol nina, solid

This is why 3betting with k5s is a bad play in this spot.

Re: Unique Preflop situation
 

3betting with K5s is the sign of an inflated ego. Most people who play this game today aren't dumb and will realize you're isolating lightly. They will widen their 4bet range and you will get pwned.

If it were up to me, I would remove the gradient from my avatar, delete Larm's avatar, look up the results of "K5s" on Oink's PT (while not on the button or cutoff) and then fold.

60/40/3 and just super spewy

because this is the mark of an opponent who is not dumb? We have position on him, why do we care if he caps? because its a bad thing when a spewy opponent decides to fight back by getting more spewy?
