Marginal Spot Deepish

[Genitruc]

I have been playing very very aggro and crazy at the table. I have 3-bet this villain and c-bet 2 or 3 times so far after he called pre in position. I’m pretty sure he’s flatting pre fairly light. He folded each time so far so I expect him to play back soon.

My 3-bet shoulda been bigger.

I'm pretty sure he'll bet a wide range if I check (since it makes sense for me to check/fold at some point...).

What is a plan for the hand you guys like? Eff stacks are 927$.

Also I think 3-betting is marginal this deep OOP

Problem is he prob thinks i m doing it light so I've prob got a big edge on his calling range

yuck. your hand is just a little better than 5x5c. i suppose if he's likely to raise but you aren't comfortable 3 betting the flop, you could check/raise or c/c and lead a safe turn? check folding just doesn't seem right but maybe that's the best. so i guess what i'm saying is something involving a check is good.

this seems like a rly easy bet/fold

yeah...is it ever correct to check OOP when you 3bet preflop?

yes


Geni this isn't a board your going to see a draw play back at you this deep.

I agree b/f

[Numbr2intheWorld]

Hmmm, bet/fold isn't the first thing that came to my head but i like it.

i'm serious. i'm sure there are exceptions as with everything else, but i think c-betting in or out of position after being the preflop aggressor is the correct play > 90% of the time.

hmmm...thinking about it more, there are probably times when even if you whiffed your AK you might be able to squeeze more EV outta your opponent by check-bombing, but still seems really high risk/low reward to me.

How about c/f

u think really scary poker-thoughts sometimes

u should def check/fold, check/raise, check/call, bet/fold, bet/call, bet3bet oop as the pfr in a 3bet pot all in relatively substantial amounts

DO NOT SPEAK SUCH BLASPHELMUTH

[Alexos]

I don't mind bet/fold but I dont know why its such an EASY bet fold...especially since we cbet pretty much ever time in the other 3bet pots.

How would our action change if we had AcQs?

C/R? Bet/3bet?

its a bet/fold cause we r flipping/behind his calling range, but are often dead/close to dead to his raising range...

b) seems like a c/r with AcQs against most ppl

[IowaSkinsFan]

Just because a line seems shitty/ doesnt have us as the aggressor doesn't make it a bad line, it can just be a good line in a shitty spot.

[Genitruc]

how about check-call then CRai on any turn?

edit : I may just be severely retarded

hmmm, i think i understand now. i have yet to incorporate much lite 3betting into my game, so i can see how there would be problems with doing the same thing all the time when you're 3betting lite with hands like 76s and 33.
