Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 5671426, member: 289533"] Hello mate, first let's observe the preflop action steps: 1 - MP raises to 2.5x, CO folds, Hero BTN 3-bets to 3.6x, SB folds, and both BB calls out of the way and open raisor/MP calls as well. Now a important note we should take it is about the player in the Big Blind. The odds for calling in the Big Blind are horrible, because MP's displays strong ranges and will 4-bet/Squeeze or even Jam this situation from time to time and what Big Blind is going to do after that, is to take a very hard decision. To avoid being too much overplayed by the players sitting in the EP (UTG/MP), modern players tend to call in situations like this with a more capped range, and a more strong range than usual, so we expect more 88+ in situations like this than 22-77 for example. Some players are going to flat with AJ, AQ, although you are blocking, some recs are going to flat here with any ace or king suited, anyways, we should take a close look into the player in the Big Blind before taking any line or actions. BB Should not be raising you for the fact that as a 3-bettor, in the long run, you will show more KK, TT and even 88 than the BB, but at the micros this is just small talk, let's go for the basics: When BB raises us OTF, BB is still in a horrible situation, because the player sitting in Middle Position is about to act, so it demonstrates a lot of strength, this particular raise on the flop. I believe that at the micros way of thinking we are only going to find K8, KT, 88, TT, because we are bluff catching some possible straight draws that could be bluffing this flop, and this is not good for us. Plus, we are removing the nut flush of spades, so we are blocking almost every possible bluff Big Blind/Villain could possibly have. Being faster here: given the strength of Big Blind's action (raising OTF for a sizing bigger than the size of the pot), I could be easily folding this TPTK+BDNF+BDSD, against some types of players that I have information and easily jamming, as you did when I know that it is possible to find some bluff's on raises on the flop like this. I will not judge you, your equity was pretty good, even for the times they have us beat. Regards; Carlos 'Aballinamion' Barbosa [/QUOTE]
