More "am I weak" stuff...

    Default More "am I weak" stuff...

    Not sure what I think about this line. My image is aggro but not crazy.

    Initial raiser only raises 6% so I don’t mind calling in position hoping to get tricky on a low flop.

    3-bettor is running at 38/6. He loves to call and I haven’t seen him 3-bet before.

    - ribberfors sitting in seat 4 with $200.20

    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    I think a fold there is fine. The only hand you really beat (other than AK) is JJ.

    The only problem with this line is that villain probably puts you on a mid pair type hand (after your flat call of two raises PF), so he probably thinks he can take you off your hand with a good turn bet (if he wanted to be aggro with AK)

    I think a fold is fine here most of the time though. His bet doesn't look like he wants a fold.

    I should mention that the 3-bettor is not a "thinker".

    The way my hands "looks" means very little in this situation imo.

    I just fold the flop if you don't want to show down. You know a tight 3-better like this isn't going to let up.

    normally i dont raise for info...but if a turn bet would be too confusing, and opp wouldn't 3bet bluff, what about min-raising the flop?

    actually i think folding the turn was alright, since it seems he's just playing the strength of his hand.

    but ya folding the flop might've been best...i see a lot of ppl who are so donkish/passive check or bet small with a whiffed AK.
