Is this too weak? (NLTRN)
This was on eof the first hands of the session, so I had no reads. His check on the flop and small turn bet screams weakness, should I have raised him up here?

Re: Is this too weak? (NLTRN)
seems fine to me: villain would probably cr or cc that flop, and youre probably behind anyway, so nothing wrong with the fold.

Re: Is this too weak? (NLTRN)
What had he been doing preflop the previous few hands?
Completely readless, I'd expect him to be on a medium pocket pair a lot of the time, A8+ occasionally (skewed to the bigger aces), and flush draws pretty rarely. I think the problem with a raise here is that you won't get a lot of credit after calling the PF 3bet and checking behind the flop; and if he calls the raise, I can't think of too many rivers that are good to bet at. In my mind that makes this a good fold. The alternative play, perhaps, is to flatcall the turn and try to take it away on a good scare card on the river - I'm not super comfortable with that either though. I like the fold. |

Re: Is this too weak? (NLTRN)
tmc, yes and I agree with that. That's the reason I didn't bet the flop.
Nothing special went on the previous hands. IIRC this was the first time he 3bet me. |
