good spot to get it in?

Live 2-5 NL

Villain (just under $600) is pretty new to the table. He has not been out of line and has won a small pot or two.

I cover.

Villain limps in Ep, two more limp and I raise to $30 with black Kings in the small blind. Villain and only one limper call.

(Flop $100) Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I bet $75, Villain quickly raises to $175. Other player folds and I call.

Turn ($450)T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I check, villain bets $200, and I check-raise all-in.

Looks pretty standard. I think 3-betting the flop AI probably works too in a live game with stacks this size.

Push flop.

Board is pretty draw heavy, don't give him a chance for a free card.

If he's pretty agro, and you're pretty sure he'll bet a draw, your line is fine.

[TheThinMan]

Do you generally 3-bet push on these types of boards?

In this case I have no reads on the guy, but he seemed descent. I figured he had nut flush draw/combo draw, but he might have 33/QT, or AQ, I don't really know. Waht i did want was a fairly safe turn card.

3-bet push puts the pressure on him, and avoids tough decisions if you have a bad turn (A Q or [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], mainly)

Winning the pot without a showdown after getting 200 scrilla out of him is pretty sweet in my book, although I'm not sure how often he'll fold to a push here regardless of his holdings.

As played it's fine since the turn didn't hurt you, I like 3-betting flop AI, unless you were planning on folding to a dangerous turn and had him on a range of drawing hands.

[TheThinMan]

Thanks for the comments.

In this case opponent called with Ad 6d.

stack sizes seem right to push the flop, but as played, you got the most value from his draw, since he won't fold his eight-outter for ~200 more into a ~$1000 pot.

More preflop. In most live games, 8xBB is g00t.

As for post, I like it.

If you know he'll bet a blank turn with a draw, then its fine. Otherwise push flop.
