Default Re: Pot control or protection? Discuss this texture

Genz,

the bottom line is you cant fold this hand on this board to this player in this pot. the pot is too big, your 50/50 vs his legitimate calling/shoving range, foldings a big mistake. add in the times he does something mental or called you a little lighter pf and you have an obvious +EV situation betting the flop and gettin ai.

you should check sometimes just to mix up your play. checking is still +EV, but i dont htink its as good a play as cbetting. if this wasnt a 3bet pot or stacks were deeper then ithink we could have a better discussion, but as is its a pretty simple hand with very little room for manoeuvring

Default Re: Pot control or protection? Discuss this texture

Here's a question (assuming read is over a reliable sample size): If this kind of Villain has AK, is he more likely to get all in if we bet flop/check turn/bet river, if we check flop/bet turn/bet river, or if we bet flop/bet turn/nothing left for river? (It's possible that AK is more likely to get all in in the last scenario because a scare card--for him--could come on the river.)

Similarly, is QQ more likely to put one bet in if we bet flop, or if we check flop and bet turn?

I don't know the answers, but I think those are very relevant questions. I also often find that I'm wondering whether bet flop/check turn or check flop/bet turn looks weaker when I'm holding a marginal hand that wants to extract from worse, so I'm very interested in the answers.
