Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6902145, member: 305911"] Pre: I very much agree with Fundiver here this is a perfect 3 bet spot. We want to play the hand heads and we could potentially get some better hands to fold like a small pocket pair. Depending on your image at this point you might even get AJ off here to fold do I think overcalling brings in a lot of fold flop when we miss and when we do hit we still have to be careful about being outkicked where 3 betting allows us to take the lead in the hand and shut out (usually anyway) the blinds. I much prefer 3 betting here than calling. Flop: I think you can do either here but if I bet Im going to put some thought into it and think about what type of player am I going against. If Im readless I check or bet as you did here but if I am against someone who I think is decent and thinking I may bet bigger here (counter-intuitive) as I want them to be thinking why would I bet large here if I had Ax and gets their bluff catching wheels spinning. In the end, I think checking is fine, I think betting as you did is fine and if you have the reasons for deception I think going bigger here is fine too. Turn: I dont love a heart coming but the board does not have any straights yet. Villain dependent on betting here or not but I think if I bet its going to be small but I like checking here with the intention of calling river... especially if I went bigger on the flop and now check the turn to look even weaker. Betting here should fold out worse so theres an equity denial argument to be made but I think in the long run you get the most chips in the long run by checking here. River: I like Fundivers thinking here as well as its an astute point that why didnt villain c bet on flop to rep a hand? I do think there are some times (depending on image of players in the blinds and if they know about re-jamming or not) that villain on the cutoff here could have been trying to steal pre flop and then shut it down to then change their mind to bluff river when we checked turn. Its a bit of a stretch but not impossible. The sizing villain makes it is interesting and maybe they believe we would not check back turn with Ax seeing that another heart came so they are bluffing. I dont hate calling here as it was my plan on the turn when we check and I think I would call here in game. If we are not bluff catching here then we really have to ask ourselves why we arent betting turn for some small amount. So Im calling here, expecting to win some and lose some. I think a fold in this spot is fine too for the reasons Fundiver stated but Im on team call since that was my plan on the turn and the river brought nothing in (but also true that should mean less bluffs). Interesting spot for sure [/QUOTE]
