Default Possibly Simple BB Def Question, But Maybe Not....

My note on villain says:

"I coldcalled JTs otb, raised T66(2flush) flop, he called down with A hi"

He is a typically aggro 6m player aside from that, but not crazy.

Anyway he opens otb and I defend K6s in the BB

Flop 775r (I have no fd)

What lines do you consider here? Does your answer change if the flop is 2-flush, monotone (no fd for us), or if we have a bd flush draw?

Two-tone with no back-door, bye bye. Other than that, I check-call every street (depending on what comes off).

Interesting....

I think if he goes 3 barrels then your K hi is not good enough often to call the river profitably. Any thoughts on that?

Obv it depends on what comes off, but yes, they rarely have anything worse when it's 3 barrels.

My guess is that you should be showing down a little less than half the time. That is, there are about 55% of flops where you won't be getting the right price to call down.

obv when it's filled with Qs and Js and then a few others that put you in bad shape.

Gm.

I dunno which games you are playing so take it FWIW. But in my games there isnt much difference between calling a 3'rd barrel with A high and K high. Nobody ever value / bluff bets A high there so K high runs pretty close in value to A high when he bets the river.


Does anyone ever c/r these flops with K high?

i would c/r this flop a fair amount. There are a ton of turn cards that can come that'll make him dump A2 and will scare him away from rebluffing qt.

I play online between 10 and 30. In all those games, especially 15 and above, people will value bet a good ace all the time.

Without a specific read I dont like c/raising here. That is, there are LOTS of players who call down A hi after your flop c/r. And some that will call the flop c/r and the turn bet with less than A hi and fewer outs than they need to call because they know that some % of the time you are on a pure bluff and they can pick up the pot with a river bet after you chicken out (probably correctly chicken out) on firing the 3rd barrel.

my god, gaming mouse, the players you typically play against sound scary. Have you tried playing on pokerstars yet?
