Re: Ugh, TPTK AQ on scary card checkraise

[ QUOTE ]
I don't like the turn 3-bet. Villains at this level generally aren't tricky enough to semibluff check-raise the turn with a flush draw, which is about the only hand for villain to have...

Re: Ugh, TPTK AQ on scary card checkraise

Read is pretty meaningless obviously, you might take a degree of tightness out of it, but the aggression figures should be ignored imo.

He could still have KQ QJ and have waited for turn, or even...

Re: KQo gets 3 bet OOP

As already said your example is WA/WB and you could c/c,c/c,c/c or c/c,c/c,b/f.

As you think that your opponent would check behind on the river with a weaker hand, I would prefer b/f...

Re: KQo gets 3 bet OOP

[ QUOTE ]
I think the range you are assigning the 3-bettor is more like the 3-betting range of a rock. I think most reasonable players will 3-bet a AQo, AJs, KQs, 99, and 88 a good amount of the...

Let's say I'm in late position (the button or cut-off) holding something good like 99 or AJs. There's 4 limpers in behind me. Being a generally loose low limit table with no specific reads...

KQo gets 3 bet OOP

If we playing full ring and we make a raise from say MP3 with KQo and we get three bet by a CO villian who is fairly reasonable, we put him on TT+ AQs+ AKo, and we call, it's HU and the flop comes...

LOL

Raise again pray for some folds, and call down hopefully cheap, no chance you can fold here with the pot this big, I hope you were good.

Re: NL25 How to play this draw

Personally I think given his read he bet too much on the flop, as he beats nothing, but at least it's made the call automatic.

Re: NL25 How to play this draw

Well I call the push there because as you said he's pretty tight preflop, he probably made a mistake in calling your 3 bet if he does have a set, and if he has 88+ you are still only a 2-1 dog.

Passive line okay vs this villian OOP with AA

50NL 6 Max

Villian is 24/19 with postflop aggression numbers of 10.5/4.4/2.1 over 860 hands.
