NL25 - 3-Bet Light 55, squeeze

FreddyT87 · #1 10-20-2007, 08:00 AM

the guy who raised was a TAGish 35/16/1.1 and the guy who called was a loose player like 48/8/0.8 so I decided to go for a squeeze here that might also be a value bet, because the 55 could very well be the best hand preflop. now here's what happens

Villain has an Ace here often enough to fold? Should I have bet the flop? Raised the turn? Comments on all streets appreciated.

I'd definitely cbet the flop and represent the Q since you came in so strong preflop.

I like the PFR sometimes. I'm betting this flop, even though there are two opponents, they both checked to me and I 3 bet.

I'd raise the weak turn bet and fold if UTG wakes up.

UTG+1 could have any two cards here, so I'll call this river as played and take my punishment when he shows 7d8d.

Since when the hell is 35/16/1.1 TAGish?

I highly suspect that as played c-betting the flop sucks.

Call river. Too high a liklihood you're beat by a flush or more likely an A that just made a straight.

By cbetting enough on the flop you make them pay for drawing, and hopefully make them fold and take the pot right there. If they go for the draw they are making EV-. You'd have to bet about halfpot though. Right?
