Default Re: Explain to me why this might be bad

against an unknown multitabler, i would assume that this player cbets most of the time with the lead heads up, so i kind of think you miss an opportunity on the flop. i pretty much 3/4 that with atc, because the vast majority of the time, the guy in front of you just gave up and decided that a cbet wasn't profitable on that high coordinated board.

on the turn, i think you miss another opportunity. what can this guy have other than a draw, assuming that he doesn't suck? i guess he could have something like KK, but he probably folds that to a decent sized bet on the turn anyway. he could also be on top of your draw.

its seems nice on the surface that you got 2 cards for $8, but i dont think this guy is usually putting much money in the pot anyway. i don't really so much like drawing cheap if i'm not likely to get paid, and i have a really high percentage chance of taking down the pot. maybe i'm way off on that. i dunno.

more on the flop and bet the turn. Other then that it's fine.

Why more on the flop? Why bet the turn?

I think that you're balancing here between maximising FE and building a pot to get value in those rare instances when he doesn't go away and you hit.

Agree with this. If he does call the turn (which he usually won't), you may not get any more value if the flush hits on the river - but you're very often getting value if a 4/6 hits on the river. You're betting 25 on the turn to win 70 on the river! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

This is fine. So is betting more on flop and turn. I think PF is fine

This line isn't that bad. My thoughts:

Calling pre is fine as long as you aren't always c/fing missed flops. Which I'm assuming you aren't since you aren't a fish.

Flop bet is only okay if you make bets of that size a lot. Otherwise it's kinda suspicious looking; more so than your hand already is (b/c who cc's pre with an A anyway?).

Turn is whatever. Betting is probably slightly better against most nitty TAGs though (they aren't c/cing A's on the flop).

River is obv standard.

it might be bad because hes been so passive throughout the hand postflop and what hand is actually going to pay you off when you bet the river. when you get check raised you are in a [censored] spot.

i feel strongly that preflop is fine. i'd make a much bigger flop bet. betting turn is alright too.

Cause your starting hand sux
Cause you made a blocking-type bet in position on the flop
Cause you didn't follow through on the turn
Cause you aren't getting paid off on the river all that often, and will always get looked up when you are behind
