What would you give as a generic preflop 3-betting range for an unknown villain in his position?

kerowo · #4 11-27-2007, 07:31 PM

Against an unknown this is an easy call.

TT-AA plus AK and maybe AQs

How many of those hands do you beat on the river? How many beat you? How many of those hands make sense as played by villain? What are your pot odds?

sfetaz · #7 11-27-2007, 07:45 PM

The only hand the makes sense to me on the river is TT because why not raise the turn with QQ JJ, and not raise the flop with KK or AA? But you never know with some people.

Bingo.

I agree that TT is about the only hand that should be raising this river, but since you don't know...

The pot is big enough to justify a call here especially against an unknown. Plus if you fold here a lot of observant opponents are going to pummel you with scarecard bluffs.

feta-
i guarantee you that even though you feel you're choosing tough hands to post, only 1 out of every 736 AA threads contain tough decisions. those are tough odds to beat. find other hands to study. someone said, if you never fold AA in microlevels, you'll be fine. that person was correct.
