QTs MP = too loose?

Restlys · #1 06-26-2007, 01:19 AM

Im very much unsure about this hand, considering my position, was it too loose to play?(1) I did not have any reads on anyone at the table, but would there have been any good spots to bluff? and, could you comment on the size of my final bet? too small/ how much it should have been and why?

Without a read I would fold, but I am a nit. But if you are going to play this hand you need to play it for a raise. On the flop you need to make a continuation bet. cbets mean money.

I thought cbetting was only to be done when the hero had position? ( in this case i do not)

[/ QUOTE ]it's not only to be done in position but in this spot I wouldn't c-bet and I would never ever fold or call this hand preflop.

If I raise pre-flop I am cbetting 96.9% of the time regardless of position. Most of the time opponents just fold and it disguise the times that I have a real hand forcing people to pay me off. Also you want to keep up the pressure on your opponents and not give them free cards.

Why aren't you making a continuation bet here?

Restlys · #9 06-26-2007, 01:42 AM

well, my line of thought revolves around me not having position and villains high prob of playing K, or aces for that matter. So usually,up until the next session i will play and try to adjust what i think Cbetting is, i would Cbet only if i had position on the villain and the villain would check or min raise, or weird raise depending.

this flop sucks. the chances you get floated by at the very least a gutshot are very good. just about the only hands people fold here are JQ/JT/J9/A2-A6 and people may even float with ace high.
