Default Berate me

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 4 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: (7 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

River: (6.50 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 8.50 BB

He's a 31/27 after 100 hands, however he's been fairly quiet. He opens with A6o and JTs but he hasn't showed down a 3-betted hand yet. Not super agro, but tag like I guess, 2.7 is the stat to give you a ballpark.

Is this really bad by me?

i would fold the flop, you missed and your outs aren't clean...

the turn card is kind of unfortunate because you should be seeing the river cuz your flush draw is gonna be live nearly all the time...plus it will allow SB to value bet all his pairs because you are gonna call down w/ any A...however, i think once you see the turn you should call it down...

This hand is not fun to play. Does he always 3-bet from the SB when he defends?

Preflop/flop are fine.

I guess I fold the turn, the odds aren't there on a double paired board.

his flush draw is gonna be live just about all the time...the only hands it isn't live against are QQ/AQ/KQ...plus hero is chopping with all A's, beating small pairs, and has dirty outs to "top" pair...once hero has gotten to the turn he is showing this hand down...i still like a flop fold though...

Am I crazy for considering a turn semi-bluff raise? If we're already committed to paying 2 bets for a showdown on the double-paired board, it'll usually cost the same amount and the times that we're 3-bet we have some decent equity padding anyways. We might fold AK/AJ.

Maybe against someone a bit weaker, but generally no one believes your bluff on these type of boards, as much as they should.
