Can't locate the hand history, so this is the close approximation. It's 50 NL on Full Tilt. Villain is TAggy but verging on unknown due to small sample size. He's 3-bet twice before in like 50 hands. Effective stacks are $70 (140 BBs). Questions: 1. too loose to be continuing after his 3-bet here? 2. Bet the turn or check behind with my megadraw?
I am dealt   in the CO.
Preflop: folds to me, hero raises to 1.50, button calls, SB folds, villain in the BB 3-bets to 5.00, hero calls, button folds.
(11.75) Flop:   
Villain bets 7.50, hero calls.
(26.75) Turn: 
Villain checks, hero..? |

Fold preflop.
Checking behind and betting the river when checked to credibly represents a pot control play with a hand like A-Q or K-Q, and avoids a check-raise when he has a hand. If he checks to you twice, he probably only has a really weak bluff-catcher and won't call often at all. I'm not sure if he's thinking this way, though, so maybe you should just semi-bluff the turn. |

| i would make that ambigous $16-20 turn bet, try and take it, but it's like dsaxton said: is this a guy who would respect pot control plays with hands like AQ? if so check/decent bet is best |

Deanglow, what are your thoughts on a flop raise? I didn't like it either, but I'm finding it hard to articulate why now. Maybe because I think he continues/3-bets with some really strong hands (big pairs, AdKd) that make up a lot of his range anyway, and folds hands that I could probably just bet out on the turn..?

Yeah, I wish I knew. My feeling is that not enough players at 50 NL respect or understand pot control plays - they just see weakness and go into attack mode. Even a lot of somewhat decent TAggs are like that. Going on that possibly-wrong generalization, I made an $18 bet (knowing I was coming close to pot-committing myself), and luckily he folded. |

yea ive played that level a while now and would agree with your generalisation-pot control slips most their minds
i know one of poker's most overused cliches is that 'this is a situational game' but as a rule of thumb, and especially with the aggressive nature of the game now, don't you think that you have to have pretty solid reasons not to semi bluff in a spot like this unless given clear reasons not to? opposition welcomed |
