AA first orbit 20K stacks

Logun · #1 09-09-2007, 02:28 PM

2 table MTT
20K chips
blinds 25/50
1st orbit of the game

Our table is missing a couple people so we are at 6 players

I raise AA UTG+1 to 200

BB defends.
BB is aggressive, a pretty ok player capable of making great plays as often as they are capable of busting themselves out with just stupid plays.

Pot: 425
Flop 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
BB checks
I bet 350
BB raises to 1,000
I just want the hand over now thinking BB might have a draw or just TP.
I re-raise to 3500
BB thinks... then pushes for 20K

I....?????

Lucky for you ; the blinds are so low that you can get away and fold.

Why are you 3betting the flop if you are folding to a shove? Its such a horrendous play. I just call the c/r 400bbs deep.

Easy fold. BTW, your 3bet was a bluff.

I don't understand why you say the 3 bet was a bluff?

What if I put him on a draw? Or even a hand like 9T?

I know he's aggressive and looking to outplay me.....?

If you want him to fold and aren't calling a shove, what is that other than a bluff?

Yes, it wins the pot a lot but calling the flop raise is much better. You're super deep, in position and have a very strong hand against someone you say is quite aggressive. 3betting is spew, do you think he's ever calling when you're ahead? Then don't give away your hand AND put a ton more chips in the pot.

ahhh so that's what people mean when they say "you're turning your hand into a bluff"
