Default Re: hero call with mid pair in 3 bet pot

Without a really good read this must be a easy fold. You are either drawing almost dead or just ahead by little.

Default Re: hero call with mid pair in 3 bet pot

I could see him do this with almost any pocket pair (some bluffs and some value bets obviously) and a lot of overcard draw combos. Not very helpful since I just named pretty much every hand he could have.

Anyway I would call this often. If I had any kind of read on him as being a good player or some history I might snap call. Nothing but datamined stats doesn't help me much. I think it's really close here and can't really decide what I'd do the first time without history.

if someone is giving you so much action that you feel you want to call off your stack on the turn with a pair of 8s and 2 outs to improve, then maybe you don't need to be 3-betting him with 86s. i am not suggesting that i think 3-betting is necessarily wrong. but it shows an inconsistency in your thought process vs this guy.

The fact that the turn paired makes it a fold.

i disagree. if anything, the turn pairing makes this a call.

i was thinking 22 is no longer a possibility, and now we have information in deciding if our opponent would play a fullhouse like this.

how many people call 3-bets on the button with 22? it's a miniscule part of his range even if you know he calls any pocket pair preflop. and it went from 3 combos to 1, so it's not a dramatic change at all. what does matter is he went from max 5 outs if behind to max 2 outs
