Default Everybody else is doing it

Looking for more spots to not fold and not raise in blind battles cuz it seems like a lot of the best players do.

Villain is slightly fishy 40/20 and last blind battle I stole back initiative on 995r flop and he c/f'ed a blank turn.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG folds, CO folds, Button folds, <font color="#FF0000">SB raises</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: (4.00 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (3.00 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

I must not have gotten the memo. Were you raising a blank turn?

Stop folding




I dont mind the flop peel but I would rather raise it.


As played I would pop the turn. My experience is that a lot will 2nd barrel quite a bit so his b/f range is fairly wide.


River is good if you think he folds K high.

I'd fold preflop too but a call is not bad. I think it is just about zero in expectation what ever you do. If you feel superior play - if not then don't and this one you should have folded because you don't know how to handle him yet.

Fold the flop too we are probably behind and a call is just to fishy.

Turn: You can make a cheap semibluff/showdown instead of just calling - the problem is just if he 3bets??? Anyway calling this a bluffing the river is worse.

The point is that if he is really this aggressive and pushed with air so much then we could make a ton of money just calling him down with marginal hands and he would loose a lot in the long run. But we have a poor hand and if we should take the pot we should have made a move earlier. We took the shot on the turn for the flush and it didn't came in so let it be.

I think pf is close, but I call. Flop is close with all the bd draws, but trying to figure out whats clean is tough and I tend to go on results oriented tilt when I hit my J or whatever and he has AJ, so I would fold. The turn I raise alot in blind battles so this isnt a stretch for me. I actually like the river bet, bc if he has K high or a ragged Ace he will have a tough time calling.

All,

folding pf is def wrong. A 40/20 guy will be raising probably 60% of his hands here. Just stove it, its not close.

folding the flop is debateable. Raising the turn feels spewy imo. I have no idea about the river. Eager to here more responses cuz I am unsure about all the post-flop streets.

I call here also 100% of the time, i fold against a sb raise if sb is TAG/LAG pretty rare. I fold hands like 92o etc.

Postflop i dunno, i probably fold on the flop. As played i would raise the turn.
