$1,000 Live MTT AQo, Street by Street
This hand occurred a few days a go. I thought it was rather interesting.
General Info: Runners~ 125 Players Left~ 100 Blinds: 15/30 9-Handed Hero's Hand- A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Reads: Hero (1750)- Hero has a pretty LAG image so far, a bit on the donkish side. This is due to a lot of table talk and odd size raises. I've been getting my Mike Caro on. Passive/Aggressive scale- 9 Tight/Loose scale- 8 SB (1700)- Tight/Conservative player. Rarley get's out of line. He told me he's been playing for a year now, and bases almost all his actions on things he's read in poker books. Passive/Aggressive scale- 3 Tight/Loose scale- 2 Button (1200)- Don't know a ton about him, but he's been pretty loose so far, and has been calling a little too much postflop. He's probably been the most active verbally at the table besides me. Preflop: 3 folds, Hero raises to t81, 2 folds, Button calls t81, SB calls, t66, BB folds. Flop: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] SB checks, Hero?

Re: $1,000 Live MTT AQo, Street by Street
I think I fire at this flop... about 150.
If I'm called by the button, I'm firing again on the turn regardless of what hits, probably about 400. If SB calls your c-bet and button folds: - I check behind on the turn regardless of what hits. - If he bets the turn and I do not improve, I fold. - If he checks on the river, I bet if I do not improve if I think he can fold a middle pp or something like A5. If an A or Q peels off, I bet as more of a value bet than anything else. If SB check-raises, I fold. If SB and button both call a c-bet, I slow down unimproved. I think if you can isolate the loose button with a c-bet on the flop, you might be able to take it down on the turn unimproved. Also, c-betting allows you the chance to take the pot down on the flop.

[ QUOTE ]
C-bet is kinda mandatory? In fact, I might actually point that out as I c-bet 2/3 pot. [/ QUOTE ] Why is it mandatory? There's no draws to fold out, so were not afraid of giving a free card. We aren't folding out any better hands for the SB, maybe AK and 22 but that's about it. We cetainly aren't folding out any middle/high pairs. Given SB's tight image, he prolly won't be calling with many weaker hands either. He'll probably dump hands like AJ that we want in. We also might get a loose call from the Button, and now were OOP for the last two streets. Note: I'm not saying checking is better.

I like cbetting paired flops and this looks like a decent one for us, pretty easy to rep an overpair here...in a 3-way pot, I might not do it though. I think I'd bet about 150 here and see where things go.

Re: $1,000 Live MTT AQo, Street by Street
These are all good points. I would bet simply because we don't want to be stuck between two players, both of whom can have anything and one of whom has position, and I can't see what we're going to turn that's going to help us much (hitting isn't going to be that profitable) so I'm happy to take down the pot here. I don't mind c-bet/folding this deep either.
Interesting things obviously develop in this hand because you've posted it but at present I don't like my hand, the order of callers or the flop and so I'd just like to take it down.
