I thought about 4b/folding but then I called. Villain had 10% 3b over 100 hands. Is this really bad?

raising the flop to me is the worst play you made as your only getting called by better as you are folding out all his 10s-KS and may even get his weaker aces to fold. All of the other stuff seemed pretty standard but check calling would seem the optimal play here.

i'm still stacking off once i call the 3bet but allow the villain to fire another barrel, he should be betting all his flush draws anyway since he should try get you off a worse pocket pair JJ-TT 99 etc

I figured I might get called by worse since it looks so polarized but maybe that was just a mistake, following LockeDown's logic. I like protecting the lower pairs as Daz pointed out too, so next time I think I'll x/c x/shove most turns.

What you're saying sort of makes sense in that it does look like a situation where you probably have a strong hand or a weak piece BUUUUUUUUUUUT when's the last time you bluff raised in this spot? Most people just aren't bluffing that much here and even when you are it's likely a strong semi bluff like a flush draw.

I guess you're right James, being oop. In position I like to bluffraise otf with air though. If I have 'annoying history' with villain where I make his 3b life miserable raising flops smallish sometimes (like now), I think there might be more value in my original play vs just calling. He might ship it in with air/draw sometimes, and he's not just giving up his weaker aces. However, there was no such history and I'm OOP which narrows my range quite a bit, so you're right.

edit: am I wrong thinking like this?


About what I said earlier regarding check/shoving the turn on this particular runout, wouldn't it be better to just x/c the turn since no worse hands call? Or is it more important to not let him realize equity?
