BTN: $149.80
Hero (SB): $307.65
BB: $249.50
UTG: $440.30
MP: $89.25

Pre-Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (SB)
2 folds, <font color="red">CO raises to $7</font>, BTN folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $24</font>, CO calls $17

Flop: ($50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)

Are you guys serious?

By calling he lets BB in cheap, and plays pot oop against 2 opponents.


Just because he 3bet, the BB folded, and he called, AND an ace came, and even before we lost the pot, doesn't mean it is a bad idea to 3bet. You would rather just move in if you were in BB, but since BB is still to act, I think you should 3bet.

Here you can c/f, c/c, or bet, I don't think it matters much. Just make a range calculation, but when he just calls he could have a weak ace most of the time. You are getting 3 to 1, you can improve like 8% of the time. No decision is so bad imo. I would just bet.

I prefer 3-betting somewhat larger preflop and shoving any flop. As played bet $40. He folds this flop way more than 50% and that's going to show an instant profit because of it. Your hand is irrelevant. I'd happily fold to the shove. Getting 6:1 is irrelevant since he has us drawing to two outs somewhere around 100% of the time if he shoves. If you have some read that he's dumb and would shove 88 here then you can also call, you have 10% equity against an ace anyhow. It doesn't really matter. Most of your profit comes from him folding.

Maybe even 35. The board is pretty dry anyway. If he sees it as weakness, moves in without an ace AND a pair that doesn't beat us, then he deserves it imo.
