Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6746906, member: 289533"] At NLHE 2 I’m never 3-betting low-medium pocket pairs from any position (22-88). The reason is that I prefer to 3-bet a 65s that I believe has more equity than a pocket pair, specially a baby pocket pair that will face hard flops most of times and will hardly hit a set on it. As played, this flop is half good to us because it’s low and we are drawing to a straight so we can c-bet bluff. OTT although we had completed a nice hand, a flush of spades also got there and we have no removal (no 6 of spades). So here after UTG checks, we can check or bet small. When we bet more than 1/2 pot and UTG raises that much, also considering that this is a deep stacked pot, we can easily find the fold button: We are risking + 200 BB in a doubtful situation. Be honest, do you believe that at NLHE 2 there are good players enough to put up a bluff having just one combo of spades, risking that much? Yes, we are calling down OTT because we are overthinking and giving way too much credit and merit to our opponent, we are calling here because we think villain has just one card of spades, such as As, Ks, Qs, and it is trying to bluff because it has good equity to the river: big mistake, at NLHE 2 and even higher stakes, players aren’t that good. OTR when UTG shoves we must find the fold button. This isn’t a MTT hand or a spectacle with super bluffy Joe: this is a stake where players are too obvious. This is a deep stack pot. One note: we shouldn’t play deep stack pots the same way we play normal 100 BB pots, as bigger the stack, more we are going in only with nutted hands, this is not the case. There’s a total different science to play deep stack pots in cash tables, and I confess that I don’t own this ability yet. When I reach 150 BB I close the table and open another one where I have only 100 BB ES. You will find your own reasons to have done what you just did, but this is a huge mistake. Not calling you a bad player, I already made this mistake several times until I learned. Study more and continue playing, don’t you ever give up for these things will happen sooner than later.
