Re: Q7s MONSTER hand
I understand stoxs logic, and it's perfectly applicable to a UTG or a HJ raiser..
But against a button raiser, it's a little too weak as part of an overall strategy.
This isnt a imeddiatly bceause of the % of queens has he has in his raising distribution, but it's a consequence of the correct increased agression/showdown levels of both you and your opponent when your in a wider range situation.
Wider ranges call for more agressive play.
A good very agressive player will run you over if you play like this on the turn..
Since a 3-bet on turn from you on a similiar turn is going to be done infrequently, he can easily raise a huge range on this turn, blunting your agressive re-steal strategy on the flop.. If its done frequently, theres a ton of air in your range and he has an easy 4-bet bluff.
Having a very strong yet fairly wide 3-betting range on this turn strengthens your flop re-stealing strategy..
More money is going to be made in these situations folding out his air when you have air, than squeezing an extra small bet out when you have a strong hand. Creating a strategy that makes him fear re-taking the initative is essential when both of you have wide ranges and the board is not too scary.
