Default Re: Things I don\'t get #2

really the only read you need for mine is:
- decent (ie doesn't peel flop w/ bdfd then donk the turn with a turned fd). the thing to be concerned about here is the flush which against a decent player is very remote. this is what makes me good >50% when called.
- doesn't spew, ie the river 3bet is real. this is what makes me dead when he 3bets

it really doesn't take too long to get to this point.

I never raise/fold made hands. I think I probably miss a few profitable times to do this, but I don't think its a major leak one way or the other.

after he 3-bets the flop i just call down hoping he "tricked" me preflop with KK/QQ but mostly expecting to see 99/88. so while i agree that your fold on the turn vs. his 3-bet is good, you shouldn't have given him the chance

raise folding costs the same when Im behind but gets an extra bet out of JJ QQ KK TT. IMO the extra bet I get out of those hands is worth more than giving myself a chance to spike a 2 outer. Also this is live so I expect to never fold the best hand when I get 3 bet.

nina is this foxwoods? if so you are never ever ever ever good on the turn and i would call down from the flop 3bet because you are crushed (he probably has 99 and stopped on the flop because he put you on the nuts)

yes it was. I'll rarely argue that I played a hand correctly, but I really think I took the best course of action in this hand. My turn raise feels like a much better use of 2 bets than call turn and call river, unless he does funky stuff like call turn raise and c/r river.

Please post hand examples where you raise/fold and let others critique it so the rest of us morons can figure out when to do this.
