4/180 and again no Fing idea on reads, was reading the Dids and bus thread... I should close this site when I play. We Cbet here? I'm thinking check maybe? I'm running so bad this is a difficult decision.

bet about 230. If you get a caller and he checks again on turn i would shut down.

What about a reraise?

It really depends on reads. In most cases you shud probably shut down but the only think i can see you behind here enough for a check raise is 66, . Even an KQ, QJ, acting after you will probably be scared by your bet but will still call. AQ will call for sure and depending on player might reraise. But a lot of the time they will have missed and just fold. I used to never check bet. or donk the flop when i had missed and always ended up having to fold to the bet in return. By firing a 3/4 PSB you can sort of see where your at and maybe even take the 300 chip pot with ease [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

c/fold this flop. You are getting called way too much in a 4/180 to make this profitable.

I've started raising to 80 w/AK and other premiums preflop when blinds are at 10/20. You won't win a very big pot usually if an A or K comes by raising to 100 because often times its an action killer. Also early in tournaments I feel its better to check/fold AK if you miss on the flop esp. OOP

kl0kick · #7 08-03-2007, 02:08 AM

Tough spot when OOP and no reads, but I guess I would keep being the aggressor and cbet. If called or raised hand is dead.

HU I would c-bet for sure. In a mutliway pot and early like this I just c/f.

levAA · #9 08-03-2007, 04:41 AM

against 2 opponents early on i cbet this.
you might have the best hand right now, but you have to find out if there is a Q outthere.
i don't like checking, cause you will face a bet from mp1 most of the time and a c/r against 2 opponents seems to risky for me.

btw

I check here and hope for a free card. Towards the later stages of tournament play, I can see a bet coming because people actually fold when they're beat. Here, you're stuck between two players in the early part of a 4/180 with really crappy players who never fold.

HU is a def. c-bet though.
