BvB with 99

recallme · #1 10-02-2007, 09:36 AM

Unknown Villain, this is a hand in second orbit, but i 4bttet once and 3bet+conti another hand. So i think 4btting hee isn`t best, or? I was even debating to fold.

I probably make that bet myself on the river. Why'd you check?

Frankly, weak though it is, I like check/fold flop. This flop isn't as good for you as it looks. Versus all the big ace hands you're only roughly 60/40 to win, that's if you even make it to showdown. Meanwhile versus all the big pairs you're dead meat. You can't play your hand strongly and are going to be at the mercy of villain all hand; after a check-call flop line, you might as well turn your hand face up.

Folding preflop is much better than c/f this flop..are you really advocating folding to the 3bet, especially with history?

ikestoys · #7 10-02-2007, 10:07 AM

c/f flop is just about the worst idea i've heard

lololol

How is folding pf better? You have pretty good implied odds just for the set and there are better flops than this for 99, i.e. ones that dont give an extra 4 outs to AK and AQ.

btw this obv assumes standard villain, if hes aggro with his threebetting you're going to have to fight back on this flop.

if you are waiting for a better flop the 99, have fun being a nit

yeah folding flop is pretty laughable no offense.

wp if you call river
