Message: [QUOTE="dallam, post: 6718076, member: 338743"] Thank you so much for the inputs! :) I'm not really a defender with this combination, but as it was closer to the end (ironic) and a 3-way as well, did not pretend that much that if this is going to be a big party. So my intention was to calmly hunt some combination and make a cheap showdown if it's needed. Flop gave top pair bad kicker. As we both checked a 65% bet happened which is very large. Obviously UTG could have here 44,55 although only one combination remained to QQ. Overpairs as well, AA and KK, AKs, AQ, KQ maybe JJ-99. So we are not in a really great shape. SB called which is suprising. Considering how big stack he had, 44 and 55 can be in that range, I believe tons of competent flush-draws, Qx. So it was my turn. I don't have here AA or KK, but can plenty straight-flush cards, two pairs and sets too. In a 3-way to such a big bet I'm maybe wrong by period, but I'm just calling at this point with everything and never raising , so that's why still calling and waiting what's gonna happen. Turn is a 6 of diamonds. I wanted to only bluff the 6 of diamonds or 6 of clubs here. The reason is now I'm not only blocking set of Q's but also blocking 87s since 2 combination of 87s were in the calling spot from SB. And this is falling into my BB range very smooth. That was a fear of course about this overbet, isn't it too bluffy? I just found the 3 way very risky in general and with this healthy pot I could value 87s just like this or two pairs, cause on flop there was not big fold equity now I could hit made hands and folds too. Although could not really decide what is the best value bet here, since I can see UTG is now checking it behind on the Turn, even tho the big pot bet happened. While I could pick up something strong but vurnerable to the nuts. All-in-all definitely a lucky runaway, I see those points in checking down the Turn although the party is hardly going to flow to me, too many outs and better Qxs. The pot was big, instead of check pot-control ; two combination of the 6s I'd choose to bluff here. Another point on your sides is that I killed only 8K into this pot from my 58K so I have to balance where I wanna make a big bluff and how. This time I felt possible, were some cards to protect, although it was not as rewardable as I felt in that moment, badass one for sure, but I have to keep on eye even more if its really valid.
