$50 3 handed: Overpair OOP against raise

XST · #1 10-06-2007, 05:43 PM

3 players have just left the game. I have been betting the last few pots and there is a good chance that villain is getting frustrated. I think my hand is good, but if I reraise my hand becomes a bluff. And if I just call I think it's likely he just has overcards so I am giving him a free chance to hit. Which will put me in a very dangerous spot OOP.

Any reads? Has villain always raised the button? If so, it could be a bluff. I'd call here and evaluate the turn.

88 is a monster 3 handed, 3bet pf.

postflop is never easy. donking half pot into him just induces him to raise with air and his bigger pairs

i don't think there is a good/standard line in these spots. c/c and c/r seem decent

3bet preflop if villain is positionally aware
otherwise play for set value
c/r or c/c the flop
don´t b3b
don´t b/c
