How of these hands are you really calling with that you aren't 3betting preflop? I don't think you are regularly calling Ax or Kx, unless maybe when their suited, but again why call pre when 3betting those are probably better? Would you really call your set with the flush draw out there?
I just really don't see anything in our preflop cold calling range, that would float this flop with any regularity. |
in position i don't auto3bet AK AQ QQ+ first of all. I think its pretty terrible not to be capable of having them in a coldcall scenario, especially vs an abc tag. In fact AQ/AJ/KQ and the like are probably better coldcall candidates preflop.
As far a slowplaying a set here, i'd slowplay AA/AK mostly because ive got the deck beat up, and i'd then consequently slowplay KK/33 often because i don't want my raising range to consist of exactly KK/33/flush draw.
Thats all in a theoretical universe. In reality, i'd often raise this flop with KK/33, because tags don't believe you when you can only have one hand. In the real world unless you have tons of history with the player, you don't really need a balanced range here, because you have the nuts and if he has a decent hand he's not gonna believe you.
That all said, slowplaying 33 here isn't that bad because the flush draw isn't that big of a part of his range anyway, and if it induces continued action from weak hands or air, then that counteracts the free card disadvantage.
As far as hands that would float, how about any pocket pair, JT QJ 54, or even a backdoor flush draw?
