Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6677704, member: 305911"] Hand 1: If you think villain is one of those stations that will pay you off when you hit then I think you dont need to 3bet as often as with other players. It sounds like this is a person that you would want to play "make the pot big when you want to but keep it small all other times" so I think calling pre here is better. Not to say 3 betting is bad but from what you write I like calling better. On the flop, if the villain pays you off when you have it what do they do when you dont have it (yet anyway lol)? If they are always calling then I think I would elect to just call the bet here as even though you are drawing against it price wise you know the implied odds are there and can go for big value when you do hit it. Raising here and then if you miss turn are we firing again knowing they will likely call again? Also what do we expect them to call with? Are they calling all Ax and pairs but folding a weird K9 or K10 hand? If so they you are only value targeting KJ and the rest of the time you are semi bluffing into someone that is not going to fold anything better. Raising is not bad in many spots, not bad here either, but I like just calling better. On the turn as played I am not sure you have to go this big but it someone that we think is an ATM machine so I am fine with the sizing. When they jam, though, we must think what worse hands are jamming here? Are pairs lower than Q now jamming... I doubt it. Ax flush draw is a maybe but that would re raise flop if they were going to go with it so I would say no there as well. Is a random Ax jaming that has no clubs... I doubt that too so to me it seems like this raise would be something beating you or a very random bluff. You know the villain so you would have to decide how much they bluff and do they bluff in this fashion with a random hand. If you dont think they are then you are probably behind. You have equity, but you need 41% if my math is right (calling 8 to win 11.42 but that could be incorrect) and I dont think you have it especially since I discount Ax of clubs now jamming when they would have on flop so this is a made hand usually that is beating you. You could hope for QJ, Q10, or that random bluff some % of the time but that is really all you could hope for and its just not enough to me. Hand 2: This is villain dependent but you say he raises a lot and with the draws out there I would not want to just call and let him potentially play perfectly against me depending on what cards come so I like the jam... as long we are going against this type of opponent and this board. Rainbow board I like just calling more and letting villain just bet it off themselves. [/QUOTE]
