Commerce 20-40. My first session ever.
LMP limps. He's loose and passive on every street. I raise the hijack next in with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. A 2+2 lurker -- generally a little too passive and tight, but a clear winner in the game -- 3-bets out of the BB. LMP calls and I call. Flop Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. BB bets, LMP calls, I raise. A couple things: 1) I think the standard line here is to call and raise a safe turn. But against this particular lineup, (a) LMP is loose enough that I have more equity than it usually would in a three-way pot, and (b) I think that a thinking BB will have a very hard time not leading a safe turn, so I'm not going to lose action by raising now. (My hand range, from her perspective, should include enough big-trump-no-pair hands that she can't let blank turns check through.) Is this thinking reasonable? Lots of cards kill my hand, but I have >1/3 equity in the pot, and I don't lose any playing advantages later (in fact, I might induce some FTOP mistakes on the turn). Am I missing something? 2) Results won't clarify much in this case, but it also won't hurt to post them. BB called, LMP 3-bet, and I folded. I'm always open to comments, but both physical reads and LMP's betting tendencies made this decision very clear. (And even if LMP is misreading his hand or something I still have to worry about BB.) --Nate |
