Villain a) is 20/16/3.5 or even more tag
b) is 28/21/3
What`s our play?
c/r him?
The upsides are, that we will get a contibet most of the time and he perhaps just calls, because he`s IP.
The downside are, that we are making a strong play so early in the hand and he could check behind.

Betting right out prevents Villain from making his Cbet, but will often result in a raise from an Overpair or TPGK.
The problem is now, how do we respond to his raise?
3bet is [censored] strong.
Just calling could result in Pot Control from him if we check back, scare cards falling.
If we call and lead turn, it`s like 3betting and perhaps even stronger.

I just made my way to the MSNL and have atm problems with getting payed off with my monsters.

Can someone help me? I am having serious problems here lately?

[johnnyrocket]

if villain is c-betting every hand and seems very aggro i will lead 3 bet since your bet may look like a steal, sometimes i lead out half pot here to induce a raise. Then c/r the turn, its a weird spot

leading and c/c or c/r'ing can all be fine and it really really depends on opponent

[IShearSheep]

Uncoordinated rainbow flop. Without decent description of villain I would lean toward a min cr on flop and then a pot bet on turn assuming he calls. He will c-bet this flop so cr ing him assures you will get SOMETHING out of him postflop and if he does have an over pair on this flop you will prob bust him either way. If you lead flop he may fold and you may get nothing so by default I would cr.

[recallme]

I don`t like min raising and then potting. I think 3/4 PS raise on flop then 2/3 PS on turn and 1/2 PS am river seams beter.

What you think of my example?

[cashy]

if u dont even know how to play the hand if u hit your set you really shouldnt call it preflop oop tbh

[SwimStrong]

I think you should check raise on this flop as you should be check raise bluffing people often too.

[pokeriseasy]

If you C/R bluff often enough you should C/R with a set here. If not I'd C/C and lead the turn if it's something like 2, 4, 5, 7 (because he could check behind and a bad river card, that makes a 4 straight will either kill our action or put us in a bad spot if we lead river and he raises) or an A, K, Q because he'll make a 2nd best hand a lot of times when those cards hit and will always at least call and sometimes raise. But if the turn is a total brick I'll check and hope he fires again and then C/R.

[KingGordy]

If you lead with a wide range then lead. If you c/r a wide range then c/r. If you don't do either with a wide range then you're going to have a hard time winning a big pot off a good villain.
