Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6212349, member: 305911"] I dont like the 3 bet pre flop personally unless I know I am going against opponents that fold. At 2NL it just seems to me many players in the population do not fold to 3 bets often so if that is the case we are making ourselves play a big pot out of position with a hand that is not hopeless by any means and does flop well but we can also be in some trouble with it as well. I prefer with this hand to just call, see the flop and then play accordingly. As I like the bet on the flop and would have picked a sizing similar to yours except I would have a little larger (something like 26 to 28 cents) but your bet is in the ballpark. I just think we can squeeze a few more pennies out of flush draws there and also pocket pair hands. If villain has nothing they are folding to a 22 cent bet just as they would probably a 17 cent bet or a 27 cent bet. On the turn I like the sizing and I think we should be betting again for the same reasons we bet on the flop which is to get value from some sticky pocket pairs and also a flush draw that may call. River card would not scare me but it would hit the pocket pair part of villains range. I think you can play this two ways which is to either just jam it in (I dont get your bet leaving yourself 18 cents behind as if villain is going to call then you could get them to call 18 cents more as well) or check with the intention of bluff catching. I prefer checking and bluff catching as all missed draws will fold to our jam and pocket pairs that arent sets should fold as well to a jam. Checking gives them a chance to not have to call a triple barrel after a 3 bet pre and allows them to bluff the missed draws they got here with. Jamming just probably doesnt get called by enough hands that are beating us to make it more profitable then checking and hoping villain bluffs imo. [/QUOTE]
