NL25 - Turned trips vs. TAG regular, What\'s your play?
Villian is 21/16/2.7 after about 300 hands. I don't have any specific notes on him, which probably means we haven't clashed much, and that he plays a pretty straight forward game. He felt that my play in this hand was terrible, so I wanted to see what most people would do here. I will post my play, along with both sides of the argument after I see some replies. Thanks.

I would cbet, but as played, push the turn.

Yeah, I meant to mention that in the OP. I would cbet here a good percentage of the time. Put he was a thinking opponent and I had been raising the button and cbetting a lot, so I opted for the check here.

Push. If he's bluffing because it's a scare card your not getting any money out of him no matter what you do. If he's on a draw you want the money in before the river. If he's got a 9 that isn't A9 or J9 you want his stack, and he will gladly give it to you.

[/ QUOTE ] Checking's not terrible, especially if you think it's reasonably likely he'll raise your cbet here. I could go either way really (usually leaning towards a cbet). Definitely get it in on the turn. |

Were ahead of him almost always here.

It's not exactly a cbet here. It's more for value -- plus, turn is going to be a card you can't trust not to hit villain so often. Not like checking behind when there are few or no overcards to hit.

Re: NL25 - Turned trips vs. TAG regular, What\'s your play?
Thanks for the replies. Good to see peoples reasoning as to why the flop should be a cbet. Wildzero hit it on the head though, in that I was worried he might c/r my cbet.
As for the turn, I obviously instashoved. He called with A9, and after the hand basically told me I should work on improving my game after such a terrible shove. Since he was a decent player, I figured I should at least look into it. His argument was weakened a little when he told me he would have folded a hand like T9 or 98. |
