Anyone got a match?

Amazing Commerce 40/80 game. Literally every opponent at the table is a LAG. I've never seen anything like it.

Two limpers to me in the hijack and I raise Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. CO cold-calls, button cold-calls, blinds fold, limpers call.

Flop is K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Checked to me and I bet. CO raises, button cold-calls, folded back to me, I 3-bet, CO 4-bets, button cold-calls again, I call.

Turn is 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Checked around (!)

River is 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. How many chips am I lighting on fire if I bet this?

why 3-bet flop?

The flush draw alone gives me about 35% equity in the pot, and there's an added chance my pair outs are good too. In a 3-way pot, it's a raise for value.

Not as many as if you check this IMO. It really depends on whether anyone to your left will call with A high here.

Neither A high or 22 are folding. Just check.

PJ I think when you check the turn your hand is face up. I think you'll get looked up by any pair. And once in a while maybe AcXc looks you up also. I think one guy has a pair, so I can't see the bet working.

You turn your hand face up on the turn if you check, and you often miss out on a check/raise to trap the field if you hit.

Not necessarily, the turn check also could look like a scared King. I really don't see Ace high calling here.

rafiki · #9 08-03-2007, 10:15 AM

I'd call PJ with A high here if I closed the action. He's not missing a bet on the turn with a K or 55. The pot is big enough for me to call with A high on this river card.

we can give up on a small edge on the flop to take advantage of a greater edge later by just calling imo.
