Strange line... Either 3-bet the flop or c/r the turn.

You are likely way ahead here, so I would have kept pushing longer. KK is most likely, AA is a longer shot.

You = donk? I don't like the stop-and-go strat here, even though there is almost no need to protect your hand. I'd 3-bet here and lead the turn, or call and check-raise. Youre likely ahead most of the time. I put CO on AK specifically here...

no offense but this is a line that i see bad, passive players use all the time. it minimizes value.

either 3 bet the flop or CR the turn. i prefer the former.

Thanks for the replys guys,I've just started playing limit,apart from a couple of months last year when I took up poker,so yes I am a donk and that's why I'm playing the stakes you see here.
Thanks again for your help.

Oh,I forgot to mention the villain had QQ if you're interested.

Capone · #7 07-13-2007, 04:24 PM

yeah exactly what I think you should push flop, or c/r turn.

We're not interested. Also not surprised. When people limp/raise PF...

Overkill Zeldark. Here the results provide a good learning opportunity... the flop raise did not indicate hero was beaten, and illustrate the importance of continuing to raise the flop.

Except that the Villan only had 2 outs, so wouldn't you like him to think he's in charge?

The results do not matter, and either line (3bet flop/bet turn or call flop/c/r turn) is acceptable because what you're doing is trying to maximize the number of bets that Villan puts in. A read on the Villan, of course, would help you decide which way to go.

Edit: looking at it again, 3bomb the flop...he limp/raised pf, if he caps after SB folds you can c/c down.
