NL25 - J5s semi bluff on turn

Willem · #1 07-01-2007, 06:13 AM

I'm not really sure if this was a great (albeit thin) semi-bluff or spew. I gotta admit I did not really have a read on villain, which might be needed for a move like this?

I like playing my draws aggressively, so leading this flop is standard for me.

So, do we like this line, or hate it, and why?

don´t 3bet the flop. inflating the pot oop is not a good idea and you don´t even have the nfd. i´m not sure wether i like the turn play. This imo is really player dependent. You have to assess yourself how much fe you have here.

Looks like spew to me. Is flop-betting a FD into 3 opponents +EV? Why do you 3-bet this flop? You need a very good read for the turn-shove, you need a lot of FE.

Ok. first of all. i ALWAYS lead my fds in unraised pots. however, I just call his reraise, mostly because I like draws with at least one over. If I didn't not have an overcard I am folding. Anyways.

If you just call his reraise here, you are in a great position. because you keep the pot smallish, and you can now check raise a scare card like when an Ace hits the turn.

Also, when you lead your draw and get reraised, you can donkbet the turn when you catch and then villians go retarded and spew money at you.
