I suck at blind battles

[KitCloudkicker]

Pokerstars 1/2.

Villain is solid TAG.

SB villain opens. I defend T8s.

Flop KsTs5c. He checks. Whats the plan?

EDIT: just dl'ed his stats. over 130 hands vpip 14 pfr 8.

[bravos1]

bet....

edit : I'm not sure a solid TAG would ever check here for any reason at all!

[bennyhana]

I would bet. I would also be prepared to fold if necessary.

[Nick D]

bet/fold. nothing too disgusting. pot is small, but you probably have the best hand. bet.. if he raises, fold. no biggy. move on to the next one.

[Xylocain]

um, with that flush draw you can do some pretty spewy things for meta game reasons without it costing us to much.

I'd bet-call flop.

A free showdown raise on turn especially if Vil has some weak tendensies would be pretty sexy.

:edit: OK so they wernt suited... raise flop lead turn, c/f river UI

:editII: and given the lol read... lol at pf [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Going off the 'solid' read, I would like to show this down and I would like to put in no more than 2 bets UI. And really, his checking scares me, but if he has AQ/AJ, I'd hate to give a free card. If he cooperates, I'd bet the flop and turn and take the free showdown. If he raises the flop bet, I call and fold the turn UI and proceed cautiously if I hit.

I don't fully understand what you're saying, but PF is fine being in position. Villain has a top 8% range.

If that is the case, it may be better to check behind turn and induce a possible bluff. Yeah we give a free card on turn..but if villian is planning a c/r here, it is almost always on the turn because he has a monster.

[BigBadBabar]

this is a tarp at least 90% of the time; check behind

[KitCloudkicker]

sorry for confusion, we have Tc8c, so no flush draw.

anyways I bet and he check-raised. Call the raise or give up the small pot?
