100NL button raise 3-bet

Roger Mainfield · #1 07-06-2007, 07:49 PM

I find I have problems in this situation, I have been 3-bet but I am in such an obvious steal position that my hand is near the top of my range. Would you guy re-raise pre? Note I probably would have called down a couple bets if the flop didn't come A high.

Villian is 18/16/inf but only 66 hands...

Yeah thats an ugly board to float on. I fold here to. Calling preflop is okay as long as you have at least some idea what he does postflop - against someone who always gives up after his first barrel unless he has hit calling is very +EV.

Preflop is standard; not the greatest of flops to peel one off so fold is fine.

Nothing wrong with a flop call, as long as you have a good sense of where you're at postflop against this player. Nothing wrong with your flop play. I will also often fold or 4 bet this preflop - I hate letting my opponent have the initiative in the hand, and you usually don't have odds to set mine.

There doesn't seem to be an edit button in my above post - I meant nothing wrong with a preflop call, not a flop call - hate a flop call after an ace flops.
