Villain is 23/17 but doesn't really 3-bet light from what I can tell so far. This is OMG Standard right?

Three questions:
- Calling the 3-bet preflop. Any reason to 4-bet shove here? I didn't think there was because he wasn't 3-betting light so there wasn't much of a point to minraise IMO.

- Leading the turn. I mean obviously I should've was the betsize okay?

- River is standard check/call, no way I can lead right?

- Don't 3 bet call AKo OOP, either 4 bet or fold.
- As played, checking flop and leading turn is fine.
- Why wouldn't you lead the river? He has AK at best, probably a worse ace or something in the range KK-TT. Bet for value, you are very rarely beat here.

I agree with don, I dont like check calling the river.

dirtylobster · #4 03-18-2007, 03:19 PM

I'd definately bet flop. As played, fold river.

Your raised PF, you should bet 10 on the flop.

As new guy at 6max tables, is this standard?

It depends on the villain.

wow im not agreein with much that is said. i check flop. he likely has an underpair here thus why bet him off his 2 outter?!?!?!?!?

turn lead looks fine to me but i think im makin it look either a lil weak or overly strong. ie. liken8 or 9 or psb. this is to make it look like im either scared of tha A but kno i need to make a delayed cbet (8 or 9) or that im scared of tha A and am lookin to push tha guy off his hand since he cant have an A since he checked the flop (psb)

river depends on villian. if he is overly aggro and will fire a thin vbet (or even b bluffin ???) with KK or QQ or w/e then a check call is fine. if not then i like a super thing vbet. sumtin like a half pot sized bet. when i make this bet tho im lettin tha time bank run rather low bfore makin it fyi

I don't like the call 3bet preflop either.

For this reason exactly.

So same here, either 4bet it or fold.

I agree. I don't agree with the other lines above this obviously.
