The Well: SEABEAST

[AaronOC]

what is your thoughts on calling suited connectors in position to a raise from a nit? do you ever call sc's oop?

[ajmargarine]

Seabeast, thanks for doing this. Great well.

Do you play many MTT's? If so, biggest score?

Thoughts on cold cold calling from the blinds vs a mid position raiser w/hands like JJ/QQ vs 3-betting and what is your frequency for either action??

I have found both these hands to be difficult to play OOP in a 3-bet pot when the flop comes all undercards, ie you 3-bet MP raiser w/JJ from SB and the flop comes

T43 rainbow.

Edit: My default line is to 3-bet vs CO/Button Raiser here, but vs MP and UTG and I sometimes change it up.

I would always reraise except vs really tight players. Vs tight utg players I'll just call though. Play carefully postflop but don't be too scared.

I'd characterize myself as quite a pessimist, in that I always think my opponents have the top of their range, or at least the one overcard to my big pair ... hence, I do a lot of check calling or check folding with my made hands ... is there any general piece of advice you can give to get me out of this mindset? Should I just bet fold a lot more?

Thanks!

This is a mindset a lot of SSNLers seem to have. It's brave of you to admit it, that's probably the first step! You could try playing some LHE or tournaments, they help you realise that noone ever actually has anything [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

When you get 3bet and decide you want to 4bet, what is your betsize preferance? Do you always 4bet call or shove, or do you ever 4bet fold? Say $200 stacks at 200NL, you open to $8, he makes it $28.
