    Default when aggression goes bad 50nl

    What do you think about when plays like these don't work... Is this ok? First time I check raised the flop all match.


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (2 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    saw flop|saw showdown

    Button ($33.10)
    Hero ($118.95)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with K, J.
    Button raises to $1.5, Hero raises to $4, Button calls $2.50.

    Flop: ($8.25) 3, 8, 3 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $5, Hero raises to $15, Button calls $10.

    Turn: ($38.25) 2 (2 players)
    Hero bets $62, Button calls $14.10 (All-In).

    River: ($114.35) 6 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $66.45

    Results in white below:

    Outcome: Button wins $66.45.

    its pretty obvious hes calling the turn after he puts over half his stack in after the flop. i wouldnt do this against shortstacks, they are way too apt to stack off light and you can find way better spots.

    I agree with this, especially the shortstack part, because its harder to get them off their hand. Thanks.

    if you have to 3 bet kj off, which i often wouldnt, then just standardly c bet the flop and give up if you miss unless ur deep. As played betting 15 on the turn is uber bad as he folds NOTHING that called the flop. id just c bet and give up if called. coincidentally this line is an ideal one to take with a big pair as villains hu never give you credit.
    "This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

    My issue with villian is he raises like 95% of buttons, so I began to 3-bet much lighter which he called probably 50% of the time, so I was 3-betting most broadways... Also villian would almost always float my c-bets in 3-bet pots, and once called a flop and turn 3/4 pot bet with ak high no draw... So i guess since I completely missed this was my only shot.
