QQ in blind steal situation
This hand is rather similar to the hand posted by OneOuter, but I thought I would ask for opinions nonetheless.
Online 5-10...Villain can be pretty sLAGgy, at least against me. Indeed, in a prior blind steal hand on another table (when he was unknown to me), with me the stealer and him the defender, on a board of 23438 [rainbow], after he just called PF, he then bet the flop (I called), he checkraised the turn (I called), and then he bet the river--and we both held A2. On this current hand, I'm dealt black queens, and openraise on the button. The SB folds, and Villain calls. Flop: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. He checks, I bet, he calls. Turn: T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. He checks, I bet, he checkraises, I call. River: J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] He bets, I call. Does anyone three-bet the turn or raise the river? |

Also it will look quite fishy to him, so he might rebluff you with zilch or payoff with ace high or king high Basically we are seeing showdown 100%, and it's gonna be quite expensive for someone (probably him) |

Re: QQ in blind steal situation
You have one of the top hands in your range, so you can 3-bet unexploitably. Given that villain is check-raising light, you should 3-bet MORE hands, not less. 3-bet and call down a 4-bet.
good luck. Eric |

It isn't. Against opponents who play terrible, we should also play terribly, but in such a way that we make the most from them. His conclusion doesn't follow from his premise. Like, if I am up against a loose passive, I am not thinking about optimal strat or what hand I have in relation to my total range. We don't need to think of stuff like that in small stakes games. |
