Without any reads I think c/c a reasonable sized bet is good.

i would b3b this flop fairly frequently being hu. c/r is also okay, c/c i dont like so much but this is all irrelevant since he checked it back - just trying to give some advice for possible situations.

turn lead i like, and i would c/c riv all day.

As played, I would c/c the river.

Wools · #5 12-23-2006, 09:49 PM

chewy, yeah, plan was to c/r flop, 3/4 to full pot turn, but that went out the door.

I always screw stuff like this up OOP. I c/f to $16 bet. /shrug

Why?

mused · #8 12-23-2006, 10:28 PM

because it's too good to fold but tricky to play oop.

Which worse hands call a 3 bet? How often am I going to see 2 overcards on the flop? Did you notice villains stack size?

I three-bet liberally from the blinds in steal situations; I do not feel comfortable three-betting this. Bloating the pot with a hand that is crushed by his 3b calling range doesnt make this much easier to play.

i agree. i think you played this hand well, except for the river of course.
