Default Re: Preflop question

The first three are designed in a way that we may want to take two free cards (in case we pick up a draw on the turn). Is "betting for a free rivercard" an option here?

The pot is protected very well by the 60/0, so the blind player will have to be honest checkraising us on the flop. When checkraised the only board where I would really dislike folding is the first.

Once we bet the blind player will have to deal with playing sandwiched between the pfr and the overcalling fish. And he may be on a weak hand as he probably called light preflop. So another nice thing may happen: The Blind player folds and we check the hand down and win with k-high against the 60/0.

Does he peel flop and turn light?


He will call the flop with overs and with absurd backdoors. With an A he will call many turns and some rivers. Once he has a pair, there will be a showdown.

Here is the problem and the reason that isolation him too light will not be +EV. When you aren't getting flop folds from him your king high will be pretty tough to play. I think having K9o would be the cutoff then since you will have a little more play to your hand with some gutshots and better backdoor draws. If he is a limp any two but fold if he misses the flop type then, well, go to town.
