1000th post: A quiz of sorts

[V4P]

Obviously he doesn't have the other Q, and although he should be able to get away from a lower boat, he probably doesn't. My money is on AK...

Also, I'm not a big fan of the flop raise

[Buzz-cp]

This is a steal situation so I never fold.

k, bb 3 bets then leads this flop. What are we doing by raising? Getting value? no.

I think this is a fine time to use the WA/WB concept and call down, and if the board bricks turn and river, we can fold UI (this is only if villain cannot fire 3 barrels with AJo/AJs or 99, if he can fire 3 barrels with those 2 hands, we have to call river.

This seems an pretty tight BB range for a 3-bet vs. a button open-raise and a 3-bet on the flop, and I'm a 6-max nit.

They're a little tight, but I think he did a good job at getting his point across. There aren't many hands that we get "good" action from

Against a "solid" player, I call the flop with the intention of just calling the turn and river UI. This preserves our implied odds and prevents us from bloating the pot with a so-so showdownable hand.

I think the range he used didn't even include the flop 3-bet. While I do think it could be a bit tight, I also think that a lot of the hands you could add to it you wouldn't want to be raising, either.

I definitely misjudged my equity on the flop and I think a call on the flop would've been better. TP2K with an OESD seemed good in the heat of it.

Grunch.

Did you consider JJ?

LOL. I don't play that low....except on FT where I'm trying build the roll back up there.

I also don't berate my horrible opponents.

For me, my 3 betting range from the BB is actually tighter than from the sb. The reason being is part of the reason I'll 3 bet lighter in the SB is that I don't want the BB to come along.

If the sb has already folded, I'm far more likely to just call w/ a hand like A9 (Remy).

I'll give a BB a bit more credit for a hand here.

Now onto your actual question. A lot of the hands that are three betting you pf, just hit this flop super hard. QQ, JJ, TT and AK-AQ have you hurtin'. As a matter of fact, really only 99-77 or something like that doesn't have you boned, so even though you hit top pair, you're still soaked a lot of the time and I'd rather play this draw a bit more passively because I know the chance that I'm still behind is fairly apt.

Edit: Obviously missed AA and KK, which lead to more boning of the bankroll....bone. Just wanted to say it one more time.
