Title: Another line check (pretty simple one) Post by: Rod on October 11, 2012, 10:12:58 AM Hi Guy's
This is probably a really simple spot but wanted to check if people think this line is best at micros. I have been dealt KK. The button (an unknown) raises it a standard 3xBB. In my mind this could mean anything but I have to 3-bet. Is the size OK or do I need to make it bigger? The BB folds and the button calls. Flop is good and I bet out about two third of the pot. He raise it back. The only draw I can think of that is realistic is TJ other than that he has a set or I am well ahead? I therefore elect to just call. The turn still feels like a good card for me. It does not seem likely that he has made a straight. I check planning to CRAI as I expect him to bet and commit himself. He checks which seems a bit weak. The river is a safe card so I make a value bet. Again is this bet too small? What should my plan be if he shoves?

As played bet more on the river.

i 3b jam the flop w/o stats. if guy is aggro i like letting him bluff and take same b/c line. as played i think i c/shove the river: think he bets the hands hes gna call a bet with (except for 9x) and he rarely cback turn a better hand than us (i wouldnt be surprise to see JJ/QQ or a AT hand in this spot).

As played bet more on the river. Experience of ssnl lately showed me that people generally have it when they raise postflop. He can still have QQ-TT though making jamming fine, but personally i would opt to proceed pretty cautiously and see what he does on the turn. I think the line in the op is fine. |
