0.5-1 full house hand.....3bet turn or call

[euroglot]

I was considering a raise preflop but since I didn't have any stats I just checked.

Why bet the flop? He might just fold and with a checkraise you can lure them into the pot?..

'I'll give a hint. If he has a Q what does he do if you raise?
If he has a 97o what does he do if you raise?'

I know where you come from xylo but I think he would call down with a lot of hands too.
All I can say is I called down, he also bet the river...and I still won the hand. And if I played it differently I would have won more.

What do you guys think he had?

I'd probably just bet the flop. How do we know that villain is going to bet our hand for us? Too high a risk of a check through when we just check the flop.

I don't know I like checkraising better. If I bet he could just fold AJ. With a checkraise he might bet and call a checkraise, then he maybe get's an ace or a draw etc. So then you make more value. If he checks behind doesn't matter I just bet and he probably would call down with that same AJ thinkin I'm bluffing. But that are just my thoughts.

You're very close Sushiglutton [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]....he had KK.

Since opponent limped in, I tend to not give him credit for such a good hand as AJ. In fact, after the flop we flop such a monster that we want to extract value. We can't expect a hand like 98s or KJ to bet it for us. You lost some value there. Hands like PP or even some Ax values call you down and Qx (x = good kicker) raises you -> more value.

and then again, he might not bet at all. Which he did here.

Look, your line is perfect if you know villain is aggro maniac. Then you can expect him to bet into such a dry board, but your post said "no read".

For the actual question on the 3bet or calldown, I actually don't know. In the heat of the moment, I would've probably 3-bet, because of the check on the flop, but I don't think a calldown is bad either. This is a HU situation, where a read would really help.

I like how you think everything will work perfectly for you if you check-raise. It shows a true depth of analysis.

LOL?

So let me get this straight...

if you lead (basically repping a Q, a 2, or any PP) he will fold AJ.

BUT,

if you c/r (basically repping a 2, with an occasional Q), he is going to call the raise w/ AJ?

Please explain your thought process there.
