How often have you capped the flop, then check-raised the turn?

What was the point of your original post anyways? To pad you post count because it's probably one of the most stupid things I have ever seen... If I think I can get away with a 3bet flopped a c/r on the turn you bettor believe that's the line I’m taking and from what it looks like that player the guy was up against was a complete Argo idiot... make that line easy to achieve...

Don’t be pissed because we find that hand not funny and hell sometimes typical line…

What's funny is how big a dumbass UTG is for calling all those bets. Let it go buddy, let it go...

sheesh

This is a poker discussion forum. I posted a hand for people to discuss what is a non-standard betting line.
Your original reply added nothing to the thread, whereas Nehmer asked a legitimate question.
You seem to have a tendency to be rude with no real provocation, which I find unacceptable. The reason that I post here as opposed to other forums is this forum's lack of pointless and rude filler in threads.

If this sentence made sense, It would be easier to reply to, but It does at least prove that You didn't even read the hand history.
There was no "3bet flopped." Hero capped the flop, then checked the turn. If this is the line you are typically taking, It could be one of the reasons you can't beat the Party 1/2 game.
It is true that villain here is aggressive. Not a "complete Argo idiot" however, as 12/10 preflop tends to lend itself to high AF post flop. You may have missed this due to your outstanding lack of attention to detail.

I am not pissed, actually. I merely pointed out that you had nothing constructive to add. I am very open to criticism, I just do not enjoy pointless filler and insults. It was you who called me stupid, which you have done to others on more than one occasion. Perhaps before you start judging people you don't know, you should do a bit of introspection. Thank you.

I appologize to everyone who thought they would get a great laugh from this hand... by "funny" I meant only strange, as most players would either call the 3bet and checkraise the turn, or cap and lead the turn.


This however was a good line for the situation. The checkraise/cap on the flop charges UTG as much as possible if he is on a draw.
By checkraising the turn, UTG is trapped for 2 bets, whereas leading the turn would either force UTG to call 2 bets cold (If Villain raised) or only get half as many bets in the pot (If Villain called)

The only thing I see funny is the double check raise. I've seen people pull the check raise 3 times in one hand and that's kind of funny. Especially because they usually lose.

what's funny is that the button probably held a QT and a K or 8 fell on the river and they took a FAT pot.
