Villain is not very good IMO. I thought my hand was sooted because I was doing too much at one time. We're just calling down?

I'd call the flop and play it passive. K or Q are obviously bad cards and I'm usually not calling 3 barrels if one falls.

Yeah call down vs most, but prepare to be v towned...

why are you posting hands where you misclicked? I hope this doesnt happen often enough that you feel a need to improve your post flop, post mis-click skills...

I misclick pretty rarely but tonight I was sitting 3 15/30 tables while reading crap on 2+2 and trying to decide whether I wanted to keep playing the 30 Stud 8 and Razz games I was sitting in and sweating 1/2 Stud 8 to see if it was worth playing. Basically I was setting myself up to do some retarded stuff and of course I did some retarded stuff.

The misclick isn't really that important anyway because I could have easily been in this spot if my hand was sooted as I thought it was.

Tryptamean · #7 10-04-2007, 02:19 AM

ok, well, i agree with what those others posters say too

in these spots, I just hope i have him reverse domniated and start calling

I think this is a great board to raise now and save bets when you're behind. There's no need to get to showdown if you get any further action after you raise flop.

Death Donkey,
It's a great point about the dryness of the board, but if you raise the flop and are 3-bet, you will be getting nearly 9:1 on the turn. So will you peel turn and fold river UI? Actually seems like it could be a great line here.

There are a enough crazy players in the 15/30 games on pokerstars that I wouldn't want to fold this in a capped pot without a read.

The way to play this totally depends on the player, since your equity is pretty close to borderline for a raise.
In these situations I let things like metagame and previous hands dictate my action normally..

Without information, I like to raise, because I think I get the most action when an ace pops up by raising early (call downs from PP who dont put us on an ace and many bets from AK/AQ who believed theyve improved).

However against a spew monkey, id be more inclined to call and raise when improved.
The reason being is, I expect spew monkeys to go 3-bets with AK on the big steets (u take em to 4 town), never fold a pocket pair, and spew mentally if you hit trip 6's, thinking your trying to bluff the card.

I also expect them to cap way lighter PF, and have a wider range to bluff 3-barrel with.
