Getting max value

[Unphased]

Villian is tight solid, mildly aggressive post flop. I like my cc pre because i want to c/rai on most flops

Pelopidas ?


what is the best line to get all the money in the pot? Bet out? C/c, c/rai?

[DarrenX]

Based on your stack size, I go for the check raise on the flop. If you were closer to villain's stack, I like a b/3b.

[MVPaul]

2nd nuts, c/c?

[driverseati]

Lead half the pot, you want all the draws to feel priced in.

I bring up the check call because it is a viable line against someone who is capable of double barrelling.

With the 3 different lines, what am I representing, and how will villain react?

1) Bet out - I agree with darren on the stack size argument for this. It seems like he has to have an over pair for him to raise me and AK, AQ, KQ will fold 70% of time. So we are making nothing from him the times he folds. Not a good option IMO.

2) We c/rai. The board is very dry, this is a great board for him to fire a c-bet, and he is not folding over pairs to check raises. He also could feel pot committed/put me on a draw and call me with his overs.

3) Check call the flop. If we check, and he c-bets, he is atleast trying to represent an overpair, but overs are definitely a large part of his range here, so when we cold call, we are basically saying, I have a pair, and you are going to have to fire again to get me to fold. Which induces double barrels from hands that are folding to a check raise. Also cold calling allows the big blind to try to get spicy.

Yeah I think you pretty much have to check here. With the size of the pot and the stacks involved, any bets very quickly turn into decision for all your stack, so you want to give them a chance to hang themselves. If we were a lot deeper I could see leading out here, but in this spot I think checking is the only play.

Just as a suggestion...use a converter for displaying your hands. It makes it a little easier for everyone to read.

you could lead 1/2 pot pray he has overpair. continue w moderate bets. you could bet/check/bet. you could c/call c/raise turn. i would not c-rai flop.
