Stars $10 - set OOP vs flop raiser

JSampras1 · #1 11-24-2007, 05:09 AM

I just started playing 6 max, and from what i understand i should be MORE aggressive with my good hands, bc ppl will not give me as much respect as they would at FR.

I'm wondering if my flop reraise is standard. It basically announces a set though I think, so i'm wondering if i should try to check raise the turn, or maybe just bet out the turn again hoping to get raised.

Villain is 20%VPIP/10%raise/1.7 AF so i guess he's playing pretty tight.

Just shove. He'll call you down light since you're a short stack. I don't think he's folding anything to a shove that he isn't folding to a min raise.

hero is not a shortstack

i like leading out, after his raise i think a c/r on the turn might be the way to go, at 10nl he will probably bet the turn after he raised the flop...

Sorry my bad. Thought it was NL25.

I still don't mind a shove though.

shove is too much
raise it to 5.5$
and open shove turn if he calls

i would just raise him $2 an lead out aggressively on the turn.

if he has KQ or AQ he can put me on Q with a weaker kicker. if he has a set of queens, he might fold if a club comes on the turn.

where's the flaw in my reasoning?

Spurious · #7 11-24-2007, 08:50 AM

he doesnt have a set of queens!

No chance he is folding a set of queens ever, probably wouldn't even on 4 club board without a club!

Given stack sizes, I think b3b is better. You are looking to get as much in as possible asap. You should make your bet and your raise a bit bigger. Either he likes his hand (and at 10NL is gonna see it through) or he is bluff raising (in which case he is pretty much done putting money in). Either way you maximize your profit by raising (since b3b looks bluffy and many 10NL villains will look you up with A5 etc.).

Smoothcalling is not terrible as there is only the fd out there and villain probably isn't raising the naked draw. I wouldn't do it often unless we have a history and I think he is paying attention. Once in a while tho.
