Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6692103, member: 289533"] Preflop: calling here is fine if we are mixing 30% call, 30% 3-bet and 30% fold. The remaining 10% of times we must use our own creativity to decide what to do. Villain 1/2 pot and we don’t need to raise it, we have position and a flush draw. We must have in mind that UTG is betting for value its AA, AK, AQ, AJ, 99, maybe 44, A4s, A9, and even a bigger maybe JJ, QQ and KQ. Villain also bets its bluffs, the flush draws of spades same as ours. Villain doesn’t have any other bluffs from UTG, we don’t see 32, 52 opening from UTG. OTT villain checks with the same range: his sets and pairs would also check for pot control and his flushes will check to extract more of dominated hands/lower flushes. Our bet here is good because at the micros many players will get sticky go their pairs or sets and won’t leave it in spite of the board texture. The sizing is also fine. On the river we could’ve checked to realize our equity and also bet for value. When villain jams right off the bat we have such a great price, nonetheless we must ask ourselves if villain would do it with his pairs and sets that got OTR. If we think it would, we are calling for the price is good. However, if we do think villain is only raising river with flushes, they oughta be flushes that have us beat. We should fold to this raise when villain will only display the nutted flushes it has, and villain has all of Queens of Spades, Kings of Spades and Aces of Spades. At higher levels we could expect villains shoving missed flushes and draws, but hey: this is NLHE 2, players are dumb but when they raise river they are Phyl Ivey! [/QUOTE]
