Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 5700007, member: 289533"] Phew..with that ammount of stacks involved this is very brave. 1) Co 3-bets UTG for a polarized sizing (3-bet to 4x). 2) We do 4-bet to 2.5x versus CO 3-bet, which could be fine if CO's 3-bet wasn't polarized. Now the pot is bigger than usual and we are 'deep stack'. 3) Continuing the polarization we bet a little bit more than 1/3 pot for a flop that isn't that scary at all: The only hands that have us beat right now are JJ and KJ, and many players are folding KJ to a 4-bet like that. Villain cannot display 44 here, J4, K4, we are blocking the one liner straight nuts, and there is no flush draws. Add to this situation that Villain can never show AA, KK, and AK in this scenario, we are removing these combos and if Villain really had AA and KK it would not be flatting preflop, no one is doing it. 4) OTT, we should be checking more often than betting, au contraire of other hands where we are only 100 blinds deep, in this hand we are 200 blinds deep and we already put a lot of chips into the table. Yes, we are scared of the flush of spades but there is only 18% chance to get it on the river, and when we go by checking our TPTK to the river, we can leave it in the case Villain gives too many action for the hand. It is very dangerous to be betting on this turn without nutted hands. If Villain comes over the top we have to call with TPTK, knowing our chances to be winning are minimal. 5) OTR the situation gets nasty. I don't know if I am calling down this bet, but you did, well played. We know that the whole scenario is telling us that Villain doesn't have hands that beat us, but this is 2 NLHE and we are risking 400 blinds pot + rake to see that finally, indeed, Villain pushed its busted draws OTR. Good example of why we should avoid bluffing at the micros: Hero/BTN should be folding in a decent frequency hands like TPTK and Two Pair, and calling down only with Sets and Straights. But we see that people don't believe in bluffs, it is a myth, but Villain played fine as well. Regards; Carlos 'Aballinamion' Barbosa [/QUOTE]
