Can you say 3-sided
coin flip? You're going to get the pot HU here very rarely considering the action, so might as well put on the brakes and save a little deception.
[/ QUOTE ]I think you're giving them too much credit by that hand range.
The mere fact that they played with a T and K as upcards makes it many times more likely they would play very non-smooth hands than usual due to either being terrible or not realizing what game they're playing.
So I think we do have some equity edge on average. I'm not sure when you think any deception gained by calling would pay off.
And the three-bet may well have had the effect of knocking out a player with good equity, since 44 folded. So there certainly seem to be some utility to that.
Anyone else considering raising 6th?
There's some small possibility of the low board being paired and a lot of equity in getting rid of KQ63. And there's also some possibility of him playing another game and drawing dead, in which case it's a valuebet.
I'm leaning towards it not being such a good idea, but with a 20BB pot gaining even a little extra equity is huge.
