Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6201265, member: 397965"] Preflop In position you can make your 3-bets a bit smaller like 3X or maybe 3,5X. Flop C-bet seem totally fine and standard to be, and I like sizing down a little bit in a 3-bet pot. Turn I like checking back but not for the reasons, you gave. Yes straight- and flushdraws now completed, but I dont think, he has to many of them. JTo would be extremely thin to open UTG and then call a big 3-bet out of position, and even JTs is not always defended especially to your sizing. It is after all one of the worst hands in an UTG open range. And as for flushes the fact, you hold Ac, is really important, because it mean, he can not have AX of it. And with the K, Q and 9 on the board, which flush combos are even left, that would open UTG AND then call a 3-bet out of position? Like JT maybe, but thats also one of the straight combos, and we dont want to dubble count. Maybe he can also have T8, 87 or 76, but at the very most we can find 3-4 combos of flushes and 3 combos of straights, that just got there. So the reason, I like checking back, is not because, I think, I am beat. Its because I dont think, to many worse hands can call us down, if we go bet, bet, bet. So its a check for pot control and to induce bluffs on the river. And I much prefer checking with Ac, because that mean, we dont need to worry about another club rolling off. It also mean, he cant have the nut flushdraw, so there are less hands in his range, that might call a turn bet but fold on the river. Without Ac it could make more sense to bet again now and then check back the river to potentially win against a hand like AQ with A of clubs. River 76 is also a straight now, but I dont think, that really matter. And while we are of course sometimes beat, I think, this fold is to tight. You put in almost no money postflop, and as I already deduced, this board should not scare you as much, as it apparently did. As far as I am concerned, he could even be doing this for value with AK, in which case he accidentally got you to fold the best hand. [/QUOTE]
