I will often give up on the turn without a good read on villian.

RexWoo · #3 10-24-2007, 05:58 AM

I might not bet the flop vs 2 players.

I c/f the turn.

Daleroxxu · #4 10-24-2007, 06:29 AM

i prob wouldnt c-bet OOP vs 2 players either, i might lead the turn if its a safe card and the flop was checked.

as played c/f turn

I dont think I would cbet this flop either, especially w/o A or K of clubs.

Well - I have now lost my last 7 AK's and three of them to AA so take this as a guy about to tilt.

I give up AK if I don't hit. I would not bet then SO much pre flop - maybe 90? save a little if you don't hit and if you do hit you will have more players with you to push.

I'm ABOUT to fold them pre flop actually LOL

Honestly - AK has me spooked at the moment.

Raising to 90 after 3 limpers would be disgusting.
You have to raise the same amount you would with any hand in your raising range or you will be predictable. Most of what you're raising there in level 1 are big pairs and you wouldnt raise to 90 after 3 limpers with a big pair because you're just giving implied odds for people to set mine you.

Standard raise lvl 1 is 4xBB/5xBB (80/100) plus 1 BB for every limper.

Daleroxxu - you are right - missed the three limper's - too early - no coffee!! nice catch! :-)

check flop, maybe bet a dry turn if flop is checked around.

Preflop - Fine

Flop - Fine to c-bet on ragged board. Check-folding is OK too.

Turn - Spew. Just check/fold.
