Default Probably really stupid

Villain is like 19/11 but he feels the need to defend his blinds to the death against me. I'm folding to 3.

Absolute Poker
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $5/$10
5 players

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises</font>, SB folds, BB calls.

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4.6SB, 2 players)
BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4.3BB, 2 players)

Even if he's defending looser there shouldn't be many 2x hands in his range. He should know this is a good board to fastplay 6x in a blind defense. I don't think there's enough value tbh.

I also doubt there is value in this.

He needs to be good enough to realize that a raise on that river looks like [censored].

But if he is good enough to realize that you run the risk of him 3-betting a worse hand.

I like it. Most likely he has a PP or 6x. What you did is probably better then 3-betting the flop. Raising this turn would be really bad because he might fold a PP where he'll at least c/c on the river. Plus a river raise may freak him out enough to just call 6x.

It's not really stupid, but since I hate raise-folding the river with a showdown-worthy hand, I wouldn't do it.

But since, even if Villain will only 3-bet better hands, it seems like there's a really thin range of worse hands that will call, simply calling the river is probably the superior play.

FWIW, A6-65 is 66 combos, whereas 33-55 and 77-TT is only 42. Probably at least a little weighting should be done, and meanwhile some 2x should be thrown in there, but this raise is for super-thin value (if it's for value at all) that gets crushed if our judgment regarding what a river 3-bet means is off at all.

And I guess I should add that the 2x possibilities are at least somewhat offset by the Qx air flop checkraises that improved.

Against a LAG/LAGTAG this makes perfect sense. This guy is a bit more passive than that so for me raising the turn should be best.

now throw out TT, J6, Q6, T6, 96 add in some 2x, this isn't very thin IMO

WTF? We're still only beating about half his range so we shouldn't raise, right?
