What hands does he flatcall with preflop to fold to one bet on this flop? He won't fold a PP, his SC might have hit and also he probably has a draw.
If he calls i am oop and don't have too many outs in both cases. Would you contibet in this spot? Since my contbets get reraised 60% generally i thought it'd be better to c/f here.

Well I don't raise JQo out of my bb usually.

I would not c-bet the 1st flop.. and I would the 2nd.

OMGJuliet · #3 07-24-2007, 07:48 AM

Can you explain why plz? Both, explain why not to try to steal the pot preflop w/ QJo and why to contibet or not.
more opinions?

board in hand 1 is pretty coordinated.. no flush draws though. I don't c-bet flops like those often because villains pretty much call with anything putting you on AK or 2 big cards. 2 pairs and straights are very possible, I will c-bet if I know villain likes to limp with big broadway cards.. but this kind of flop probably hit a limper, a lot more than it did you.

2nd flop nothing is really connected, you don't really have to worry about 2 pair unless it's 34 on that board. There really aren't any draws. It would be better if the 9 were paint, but it's still a board I'm c-betting, and I might double barrel if they like to call with stuff like 5's here.

always make a contunuation bet headsup, any2 on any flop

hand 1 preflop raise is standard imo

I think c-betting 100% of the time on any flop is a leak.
