Neat Hand, QQ 3bet pot

Minsk · #1 10-31-2007, 10:29 AM

I run around 27/17 LAG, Villain just sat down the only hand i have with him he RR my cbet on TPJK. Would like some opinions on this hand I timed out thinking about it then folded. The only hand i could see him having to beat me was JJ but I couldnt put him on any hands that bluff the river.

i'd like to know your reasoning for continuing on this flop. seems like a good flop to c/c.

This is a really interesting spot. Many people might tell you pot odds + your line = snap call but I think fold is correct. Most players aren't sick enough to level you in a way that would have them checking the turn with air and bluffing the river. Nice hand.

I was thinking the same thing. Villains range is TT+ AQ+, seems to me betting flop is folding out worse and building a bigger pot OOP against better.

well thats a terrible reason to continue... not to mention your continuation bet percentage makes you very exploitable.

If you take the check/call line are you folding to a turn bet?

Do work,

Probably, in fact, I could c/f flop with a read on the villain bluffing tendencies.

-I'd c/c AK here also, so that balances out c/c with QQ. -Also, its reasonable that villain may be afraid were slowplaying a set (not that we would play it this way, but villain may be worried).
-Villain probably won't turn hands like AJ or similar hands into a bluff, hoping that he has showdown value.

Add this all up and I think his bluffing frequency is pretty low.

if you c/c with AK what do you do on turn

if villain is aggressive, i'd like a crai since your hand is so underrepresented, hes putting you on a smaller pair TT-QQ if hes a thinking player and knows you'd have to fold those to more heat. If not you might want to lead?
