[will641]

villain is unknown. wtf am i supposed to do here. there are 4 hands that beat me here basically, but its such a dry board. seems once i put in a 3 bet i cant fold. 3bet size sucks, i meant to make it bigger, just fucked up. is this standard or what?

if you wanna stack off i think its probably better to just call the flop raise and then check turn and get in. that way you give his bluffs more opportunity to continue and if he has KJ or w/e you can still get value.

yeah i like this. i sometimes get really flustered in situations like this and take really bad lines like this, which is why i posted it. i think i need to start posting more of my butchered hands and get it drilled in my brain what im doing bad.

I just call the stupid min raise and check fold turn assuming weaker kings check through. Then we can bet the river for value. It's most likely a donky K,5 of hearts or pos set though, I don't wana stack off on such a dry flop without reads.

why do you put half your stack in without knowing you want to stack off no matter what

[mcatdog]

I hate betting $24 on the flop, it leaves you so much less room to maneuver.

idk, i mean i knew i had to stack at that point, i just think im putting in half my stack in bad situations.

bet small on flop, or check.

Ur probably drawing pretty dead to his value range so call the raise to keep the bluffs in.

I'd play it the same on the flop but call the minraise and c/r the turn all in.

[Galapogos]

Are people really doing this with enough of their range, in the games you play, that this is air or less than KQ often enough that you'd want to continue?

Nearly every time I find myself in this spot from an unknown it's a set or some dumbass s00ted flopped two pair.

the flop min raise is a bluff alot. when you get it in like he did on the flop you arent going to run into worse much. thats why we would rather call then c/r turn

i think my rationale at the time was, oh noes im oop, i should just get in now. stupid.
