Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6156197, member: 397965"] Preflop I tend to agree with 300HPGOD, that opening to just 2,5BB is probably not optimal for 2NL. There are just to many complete beginners at this limit, who love to make bad calls, and the way to punish that is to go larger. Flop Its been said already, but dont slowplay! Its not the best situation to get paid, since the board is very dry, and you block both top and second pair. But that does not mean, you get more value by checking. If the opponent is a complete spewfish, maybe. But even then perhaps you could do something creative like betting 20% pot to make him spazz out right now? Turn Obviously you need to start building the pot now, and just like preflop I would like to see a slightly larger sizing. You always want to consider, what you can do to rep a bluff, and would you actually bluff for this small sizing? I think, a larger sizing looks more bluffy, and your hand is super underrepped after checking back the flop. It might seem like a small detail, but even putting in 7c rather than 5c sets it up for a larger bet on the river. River Clearly betting again, and this time your sizing is better. Getting raised on the river is never fun, unless we have pretty much the nuts. But in this particular situation I think, you have a pretty clear call. Your hand is still underrepped after checking back the flop, the opponent is clearly on the loose and aggressive side, and what is he really representing? That he called you preflop with a 2 in his hand and rivered trips? Thats obviously possible, but I expect a player like this to do at least some preflop hand selection, so I dont think, he have that many 2X hands. A2 and 32s are some of the more likely candidates, but those were two pair on the turn, so you would likely have heard from them ealier. Which leave like 42s and K2s or something like that? Thats only 4 somewhat reasonable combos for value, so I am calling here and expecting to be good often enough. [/QUOTE]
