Default Re: 1/2 Light calldown oop with QQ

[ QUOTE ]
We bet for three reasons:

1. For value. Our goal is to make them call with worse.
or
2. As a bluff. Our goal is to make them fold better.
or
3. As a semibluff. We don't care if they call or fold, we make money either way in the long run.

seeing where we stand doesn't fit under any of those three categories.

In poker, you need to know which of these three reasons is your reason for betting. Otherwise you are just betting for no reason, and that is usually bad.

Seriously though what do you think of that concept?

Results are irrelevant to knowing the best way to play your hand.

[/ QUOTE ]Results sometimes confirm reads. The fact that your villain showed 33 here makes it more likely that air (which 33 is equivalent to in this hand) is a significant part of his range, as per your read.

I would fold the turn but I'm not as good a player as you are. Nh.
