NL100: FD + gutter, too fancy?

[Van Strummer]

Was running good so I felt a little frisky. Villain was 38/12/4 over 200 hands and had played fairly well. Is this a good way to play this hand?

Its 56 more for villain to call, and I thought there was a good chance he would lay down an A .

If villain is capable of laying down an ace then the play looks fine to me.

I'm unsure about the flop play, but isn't his a bad preflop call?

This is read-dependent. If hero thinks either villain (especially pf raiser) will go too far with TP or an overpair, then this can be very profitable.

your bluffing with plenty of outs , but bluffing isnt really worth it at these levels cause they just call. i think iwould just gamble and re-raise the flop if anything although i would have folded preflop anyway.

[BukNaked36]

Great play against the right villian, but I don't know if 38/12/4 is the right villian. Much better to try folding out someone who is more of a nit.

[The White Rabbit]

Try this on the flop, where you have tons of equity.

[Van Strummer]

Do you mean push all-in on the flop, or make a standard reraise and then call if he pushes? How do you play turn if he just calls?

[Slap My Jack]

I think checkraising for less than all-in is scarier than checkraising all-in. If you've shown that you can play a set this way at the table and villain might have noticed, then the all-in justifiable.

But I don't like the bluff here on the turn.

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 53.2239 % 53.22% 00.00% { AJs+, AJo+ }
Hand 2: 46.7761 % 46.78% 00.00% { 8c7c }

Look at all that [censored] equity you have on the flop.

Consider b3bai on the flop: lead, if he raises then you can push
Or checkraise
