Message: [QUOTE="c0rnBr34d, post: 5864017, member: 394557"] I mostly agree with 300HPGOD, pre is standard and I like the idea of going a bit larger on the flop vs 2 players to charge Ax. I don't mind the standard half pot sizing either though. Getting raised is sweet here on a rainbow board. Here's where I veer off a bit. I would be AT LEAST potting this 3 bet (40.4 BB) as all of the value combos that beat us should have been 3 betting so there's maybe 2 slow played combos of over sets. Could be a good spot for an overbet as well. I want to stack AT, A8, T8, and put J9, 97, and QJ in bad spots. If we pot it or go even slightly larger it sets up a trivial turn jam. Our standard-ish raise size actually charges the straight draws 28.75% (calling 18.4 BB to win 64 BB) when they have about 26% equity against our exact hand. If we had the AT instead of the set then V would have his 29% equity and be making a correct call. But even with our set it's almost a break even call without implied odds. We can say "oh he should fold to the flop 3 bet", but after Hero 3 bets I think it sends a strong signal that if they hit the implied odds are pretty much "stacks" and since it's a rainbow all of his outs are clean. So I think V has to call with all of this straight draws. I don't mind Vs flop raise either as Hero will often show up here with less than Ax and have to fold. It's probably too light to raise every straight draw but the nut straight draw with good blockers seems fine at some frequency. Especially if there's any read on c-betting too often. I'd hate to have AT in his shoes there though, would probably have to go broke as mentioned in the earlier hand. Back to reality though. After the turn brings in one of the straights (the most nutted one) it's a pretty gross spot. If we bet and get raised, I agree we cant fold and may as well get it in incase V has any two pair hands or for when we boat up and the action dies. I don't hate checking behind to induce more marginal hands to bluff river and catch the rest of the J9, 97, slower played two pair hands, and whatever other bluffs V may have that didn't blast off flop. We still only have a slight overbet left of 78.2 BB and a 64 BB pot so I don't think we lose a ton of value as we can call down induced river bets and jam over top when the board pairs or bet ourselves if it V checks twice.
