.50/1 JJ against strange players . . .

Button is about 20/3/7.00(!) after 95 hands, and is all over the place - no distinct read, other than his bizarre stats, and the fact that he hasn't shown anything down this session . . . other villain is 75/3/1 and yeah.

I think I might have gotten fancy here (spew!), but also felt this line had merit at the time.

i reraise the flop and lead the turn. Giving a free card here is not a good idea with so many cards to beat you. FPS (fancy play snydrome) is not very healthy and should be cured at first signs of smyptoms in the micros.

i prefer 3betting the flop.

BigBadBabar · #4 03-10-2006, 04:54 AM

despite the other poster's advice to 3-bet the flop, i agree to wait until the turn to raise.

My reasoning is that you don't want MP1 there, while you want Button in. On the flop you give 7.5:1 to call for MP1, but on the turn you give 5:1.

Thats besides the point, the key here is the read on the button. Its unlikely he will pay you off if you 3-bet the flop, but its almost a given that he leads the turn. An ace or king would be unfortunate for us, but the button is surely not folding for one more SB here.

I say call the flop, c/r for a safe card or bet/call if there is a scare card (MP1 will pad the pot for us)

I think that I would have preferred to call down from the turn.

I would also be aware that you are beaten by a single 8 on the river, which MP could easily have been calling with.
