[1/2] set vs possible overpair : maximise profit

Other question : my 3bet PF is bad too right ? Since i am almost sure that UTG holds AA/KK, i know i only play for a set and i should just overcall CO's raise (thinking he will call UTG's 3bet) and so maximise my profit if i hit ?
Thank you for your advices [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

OK I guess you did mean that. You would fold preflop, however, solid players will limp lots of hands UTG depending on the table (e.g. any PP).

I pretty much always raise/call here to pop the turn, rather than just call the flop or raise/cap the flop in position. Sometimes he ll still bet into our cap if hes spewey/bad then calldown, but most good players wont unless they think u cap freecard. Either way if hes spewey bad he mite bet 3bet the turn when u dont cap the flop, and I think u generally get as many bets in on the turn vs the same holdings as when u just call the flop so I dont often see a point to slowplaying on the flop, either hes the type who will bet 3bet the turn with one pair (here AA or KK) or he isnt in my findings.

fwiw theres no CO on the planet i wouldnt 3bet 99 with otb even HU, its not correct to do it indiscriminantly, but I dont think we often find the types of opponents or games where itd be a mistake so i dont sweat it.

yes I did...

What's the reputation of the cryptologic Network for low (micro) stakes limit SH?

In fact, i had already played over 300 hands with UTG and i NEVER saw him open-limp, that's why i putted him instantly on the typical limp-reraise move with AA/KK... But my experience in limit is really small, so i guess that my opinion was a bit hasty.

Thanks for your replies.

call flop raise turn or raise/call flop raise turn is going to be better than raise/cap flop. AA has to slow down when you cap the flop because AA/99/88 = your range.

turn and river are obviously fine.

even this is quite good for metagame, next time you cap a good draw heads up you will likely get freecarded on the turn.

If he is dumb enough to LRR AA/KK in a 6max game he is dumb enough to raise the turn even if you cap the flop. Usually I would just call the flop and raise turn but against this player I dont mind your line. The few times he does raise the turn, capping the flop will make you a lots of monies.
