Top 2 in steal situation

spiff21 · #1 12-05-2006, 06:39 PM

Villain is a somewhat loose player. But he seems to be pretty good postflop, knows how much to bet and such.

Is my line here too strong? Maybe put in a bigger c/r to make him believe I have a big draw? I'm trying to follow GP's guidlines playing sets/top 2 like I play my draws, but I don't know..

If he has AT-AQ, how should I play the turn? If he has AK? Ax (x<9)?

I think this is fine. You got him to bet, but I'd raise a little more. Then you have to bet on the turn which you did.

preflop is either 3-bet or fold IMO.

i might go for the c/c lead here since the c/r is so strong, but this line is absolutely fine.
