Title: Like this line with an overpair?
Post by: Longy on January 21, 2008, 08:53:04 PM
Ok i have seen this line suggested quite alot in similar situations. Do we like it or not, pros/cons? Are the better lines to this?

Im 6 tabling and not getting the best of it, missing flops and getting my cbets floated etc. Villain in question was something like 38/7/1.3 through 300 hands mostly datamined, first clash so far in a significant pot.

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with Ad  Ahrt
2 folds, CO calls, Hero raises to $4.5, SB folds, BB calls, CO folds.

Yes I'm OK with that. You could be behind here as he checkraised you on the flop but I reckon the chips will get in at some stage on the river anyways and I much prefer you re-raising him on the turn.

if you are going to shove the turn, why not shove the flop ?

Just interested, as I sued to shove the flop a lot..less so now..play it more your way

With foe's stats..I might shove the flop

I think this line makes the most amount of money long term, assuming you always play overpairs so strongly.
I prolly donk flop though.

Right I let this go for a bit before giving my own view, on my hand, though im not totally convinced hence my post.

I like you many moons ago used to 3 bet this flop as a default and still do on wet boards.

This is a relatively dry board so very few cards are really scary, in fact one of the remaining q's is the only card i hate on the turn, so giving a free card is a risk which im happy with. It also opens up villains range and will often get as an extra bet on turn from worse hands which won't stack off. By 3 betting the flop we fold alot of hands and only really get called by aq,kq of hands that we beat most of the time.

My reservation is shoving the turn folds out everything that I beat aside from aq/kq and maybe slowplayed kk. Yet im losing to very little still probably 77/88/78s and maybe slowplayed qq (less likely to be slowplayed than kk imo).

Yet flatting the turn im giving yet another free card and is villain really going to fire 3 bullets with a hand i beat, so calling a large river bet is going to be really marginal.

Views?

I play this 80% of the time the way you do, and think it is optimal. I like to reraise flop occassionally tho just to mix it up and so I can mix in bluff play with both methods
