    getting my swell on

    Default QQ vs Fnord

    UTG is fnord. i had been splashing around a bit. probably been at the table 100 hands maybe, and been in a few pots with him on other tables, but i dont think anything too out of line. i had been 3 betting light. and afaik fnord hadn't done anything crazy, so i dont really have any reason to believe he's bluffing here besides the fact that he knows me and i post on ftr and we all know that ftr'ers luz to bluff each other in big pots.

    k, I'll be nice.

    Pre-flop I don't think you're flatting KK very often. AA/AK could go either way. QQ/JJ/TT are flats. Not sure if you continue with AQ or even 3-ball it. Not sure if my ghey 4-bet gets you off your fooling around hands.

    After you call the flop bet we can rule out AK/AQ because you don't distrust me enough or would have made a move with them by now.
    Very likely: QQ/JJ
    Somewhat discounted: AA/KK/TT
    Not often enough because you play too straight forward: other stuff

    Bascially, that's a terrible turn card for your range and I know that. Which makes it an ideal spot to push if I think I'm behind and a nearly impossible spot to get value if I think I'm ahead but you have outs because you're checking QQ/JJ with a spade behind often (or my guess on you is wrong, you don't stab nearly often enough) and giving up a free card in a $207 pot with just over pot behind just ain't gonna happen unless I have the As or am surrendering or have a stronger read that you're fed up with me and will push back.

    P.S: Stop showing down 3oak against me when I call you down.

    Trips is two on the board. 3oak is either a set or trips.

    I played nice and gave you my thinking here, your turn.

    If you want to know my hole cards you had that chance for $237 minus pot equity.

    if Fnord does this pre with TT+ / AK then why not try n' get it in on the flop?

    fnord is a nit so easy fold.

    flatting 4bet very silly and awkward though ...

    i much prefer to flat his UTG open w/ qq

    i explained my thinking basically. i just didnt really think you were bluffing enough. even though i had been 3betting light, i hadn't really been fucking with UTG. at the time i thought you easily could be doing this with AK, although looking back on it, i kind of doubt you are cbetting AK there, although i cant rule it out. i guess mainly i thought you wouldnt 2x barrel bluff me there without the goods given the circumstances.

    dozer, i didnt raise flop because he will will call sometimes almost never with JJ? there are very few FD's he has.

    Just looked it up. (PT3 rocks so hard for this.) You'd 3-bet me twice from the BB, once from a Button open and the other from a SB open. I'm happy with how I played both hands.

    To be honest I really haven't decided what my 4-ghey-bet range looks like. I've just starting running that defense and getting a feel for how it changes the dynamic. So far, I'm very happy given how you played your Queens here.

    Pre-flop I was going to carpet bomb you with 1/2 pot to 1/3 pot bets but changed my mind to my live game style of daring people to commit.

    I understand flatting Jacks here. I think QQ is too nitty. Although this gets into a broader discussion. Also, you need to consider how loose I'm opening UTG. I don't think flatting wide punishes me harshly enough in my monkey gear.

    its cuz the opposition isnt good enough yet at 1/2 i would assume. once you get to 2/4 and 3/6, 3/6 moreso it becomes much more of a viable approach because any good player is gonna presume a 3bet vs a UTG raiser is gonna be a polarized range.

    flatting jacks is the same as queens imo, i would do it vs u cuz i consider u would understand this unless i thought the players behind me were so bad that they would all cold call as well.

    this might seem like a broad assumption, and it might be true/might not, but i would guess that u undervalue the relative strength of your hands in 3bet and 4bet pots.

    in a 4bet pot in particular, a pair is like the super nuts. i mean, in a 3bet pot top pair is the nuts ... so in a 4bet pot, there is even more money in the pot on the flop, meaning the equity of your draws/marginal hands is much much less important than winning the money already in the middle. for the most part, folding even ace high in a 4bet pot i woudl assume is pretty bad ... though i dont really play 4bet pots unless somebody flats my 4bet, in which case i almost always jam.

    if he ever folds JJ to your flop raise, you make SOOOOOOOOOO much money the times u move it in w/ worse.

    why were u flatting preflop if not to get it in on this board? i think this is probably a ridiculously huge leak.

    who cares, i don't plan on 3-betting more than about 4% of hands as a bluf anyways so i don't need that big of a value freq

    flattin ur 4bets, makin u tilt
    definitely call preflop without significant dynamic indicating u should widen ur value range in this spot
