Top pair/eh kicker on draw heavy board

BrassMonkey · #1 11-16-2007, 09:26 AM

Villian is 32/26/3, steals blinds 42% over 100 hands. Do you raise at any point here? If so, where?

i check-raise the flop and lead all the way after, if i get raise on the later street, i call down.

I would call down all the way against him to gain maximum if he is bluffing!

i c/r flop and go from there - he should calldown pretty lightly, since we could be semibluffing with the FD.

c/r the flop because you are going to get a ton of A-high call downs that think you are c/r'ing a flush draw. Also call down from a turn raise, because people love to make really dumb A-high free showdown raises on 3of a suit boards.

I agree with everyone else who says c/r flop. No one seems to give me credit for any kind of hand when I CR a flop like this.

Okay, how do you feel about this?

not too shabby to wait til turn. This seems like the type of player that double barrels a lot.

Having said that, I think c/r the flop is still safest and it just feels like the most profitable line. I'd totally hate to see him check behind the turn on this board

i also c/r the flop. i think a trickier situation arises if we don't have a diamond. what would the line be then?

in that case, c/r flop, c/c flop donk safe turn, c/c c/c donk safe river, c/c c/r are all on the table for me. if i didn't have time to think about it and i'd probably c/c and donk safe turn.

32/26/3 - well the AF is high although it is not really over a large enough sample, but after the turn raise I'm calling down.
