what hands do you have folding "equity" against that you want to fold? if you think he's folding AT-AQ...well, LOL

That’s the whole point of the 3-bet: making sure he has an ace, so we can fold.

We’re not folding him if he has a good ace, that’s a fact. But he could very well be raising us WITHOUT an ace (I know it’s read dependant, how often does he bluff or raise middle or second pair?) or with a very weak ace.

3-betting lets him know we’re not afraid of the ace. If he doesn’t have an ace, he’s folding. If he’s got a weak ace, he MAY fold. But if he calls or caps, WE have an easy fold.
And isn’t paying 2 small bets to make sure of this better than having to call down 2 big bets?

But of course, if we have him beat, then folding him out is not what we want.


So our c-bet must go in on the flop, but then what? If he doesn’t kid around (read-dependant) and raises, we must fold. Bet/call and calldown does not look good then. But what if he calls? Bet again on the turn? Or c/c all the way?

And how about varying up your game now and then? This is a 1/2 game, you can at least give your opponents some credit…
We’re only a few orbits in. Go nuts with a B/3-B/F, and ABC from then on. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
