Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6930748, member: 289533"] We are 3-betting too much if we pick up KTo, even from the BU x CO. We are 3-betting for bluff and we do it when we know that players in the blinds will fold more than usual and that original open raisor will also have some fold to 3-bet. When we do 3-bet here we also want to have suited combos, KTs will do the work better than KTo. Versus a calling station type that opens from CO I don't mind folding KTo or even KJo in position and wait for another opportunity. As played, once we 3-bet and both players on the blinds call and CO also calls we want at least a two pair situation. Other scenarios we simply check-fold on the flop. We have second pair and this is not a good spot to call light when CO bets. We are giving oustanding odds for the players in the blinds to enter the pot and making our situation harder than usual. The turn improved our equity a bit, but as said, we do not own KhTh so I would simply check again to control pot. It doesn't matter for a recreational player ranges, balance if we have removal, a king as blocker nothing of this theory matters. What it matters is if they own some Qx they will call. One of the main principles of 6-MAX is to play in position versus recreational players, at first, this is correct. However, we should be careful while trying to bluff a recreational player, because we already know that they get stick to their hands, they don't think about ranges and position and they will call where they should've folded. We are bluffing regular players, and good regulars that understand the game theory and will realize that when we shove on the river, as we did on this hand, either we missed or we have the nuts, so they are in a hard spot to call. Recreational players don't think like this. Hands like this you posted are the result of getting bored at the table, so we decide to look for action at any costs. A hand that we could've simply folded preflop brought us into a uncontrollable situation postflop. Cash is not a game of action, is a game of patience. [/QUOTE]
