Three Pair? Well Whoop-i-dee-doo...

[Justin A]

This hand is against Roy Cooke. He's a writer for CardPlayer, and as far as I know is very good. However, he's definitely on the tighter side, like really tight, but definitely thinks well. He knows I'm a solid player, but we haven't played much so there's not a lot of metagame going on here.

Roy posts blind+dead in the CO, I'm in the SB.

Folded to Roy who raises after a moments consideration. I'm going to give him credit for knowing that raising a very wide range of hands here is profitable. Button folds and I 3bet Ad3d in the SB. BB folds and Roy calls.

The flop is 4s4d3s. I bet and Roy calls after a moment. I like to think that I have a good feel for these things when playing live, and my feel at this point is that he almost never has a flush draw here.

The turn is an offsuit ace. What do I do?

I check/call here and use my feel on the river most times. Basically I expect this to get checked through a lot but I expect him to fold near 100% of the time if I bet here so I give the freebie. Online in LAG games I usually bet here to induce a bluff raise [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

If you feel like you should check, so check.

I usually c/c here a lot and do it with much weaker hands as well.

Sometimes I c/c oop after showing last aggression too much though, so if people are noticing then I throw in some c/r's with both strong hands and medium-strength hands like yours. Do you think against a tight player like I think RC is, a c/r just might get him off A6-A9? I don't play against enough tight players to know [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

betting the turn here would be bad. please check.

as for the river it's gonna be a tight spot. you definitely should check, but whether or not you should call is close.

[cgrohman]

I always move all-in when I have 3 pair. After they explain that I can't do that, I check and call.

[thirddan]

if the turn checks through don't we pretty much have to call a river bet?

[phish]

obvious check

[Justin A]

K you guys are all experts and I suck. I bet and he folded.
