thanks. now maybe screech will not go BUSTO!calling down? Whoa! Talk about playing passivly! Missing out on bets, in order to survive in this game in the long run, its all about extracting as many bets with your hands/draws as possible! And can't play defensivly once theres a face card that hits the flop... -
Most of the time. If MP is especially tight you can fold. If he raises a lot of stuff preflop and folds too much postflop you can 3-bet.Call against an MP raise? -
you should defend. i'm often 3-betting vs. a CO or Button steal.

This is the first good hand I've seen. I would like a turn raise if the preflop didn't get capped. -
cap the flop or raise the turn

not ready to make the move yet. just saw a juicy game that i wanted to play.Yup. This alternative line isn't bad per se...but I don't see the need.And, with so many of us coming back down the ladder, glad to see someone on the way up. -
this is far from standard. normally this is a bad spot to cap 99 preflop. I just fold it most of the time. if you think CO is making a move on UTG, then maybe your hand fares better than it otherwise would. because UTG can go all in, he can get a cheap showdown, which takes away your ability to outplay him postflop. it is going to be hard to outplay CO since you are OOP, and even if you fold him, you might only get a sidepot. so i think it is still a fold preflop.

UTG raises, 3 folds, SB calls, econ_tim 3-bets, UTG calls, SB calls.Flop: 8 8 
T (6SB, 3 players)SB checks, econ_tim bets, UTG calls, SB calls.Turn: 2 (4.5BB, 3 players)SB checks, econ_tim bets, UTG raises, SB folds, econ_tim calls.River: K (8.5BB, 2 players)econ_tim bets, . . . I had reads on most of the table, but UTG had newly arrived. Does my line make any sense, or should I just 3-bet the turn? -
normally i just complete in this spot preflop with your raise, betting the flop and the ace on the turn makes sense the river you could possibly check/call depending on how much of a donk the button is, but check/folding should be the normal line

T 2 folds, Button raises, SB calls, econ_tim calls.Flop: 8 Q 2 (6SB, 3 players)SB checks, econ_tim checks, Button checks.Turn: J (3BB, 3 players)SB bets, econ_tim . . . SB is crazy loose and the reason I'm in the game. His VPIP is above 80, but his AF is still high. He bets any piece of the board and I've seen him try hopeless bluffs too. Button is new to the game. -
zomg -- raise somewhere i'd raise the flop, but waiting for the turn is OK as long as you RAISE when you get there
-
this looks good SB's raise makes a straight or a five unlikely he could have an overpair or a strong draw, either way the pot is big enough to call down

played 30 hands at 5/10 with position on a 96/86/5 player.
what range do you 3-bet against this guy assuming you can isolate often? top 50%? at this table, the guy to my left didn't mind calling 3 cold with hands like J8o, so I played a tighter 3-betting range. -
yeah. i chalk this up to multitabling and not reading the board.

no way a better hand gets folded on the river 1/3rd of the time after you check the turnDon't think 22/44 or some sort of rag 3 might fold? I felt there was a 33% chance of that. -
river bet is not good as a bluff, since the only hands that beat you that might fold are KT-KQ. possible value bet if villain is a showdown monkey like me. although even i don't pay off with Q-high too often.You might be able to bet the turn if he's passivish or if he peels flop folds turn a lot. As long as he doesn't check/raise a lot.Given how you played it, a river bet is good. You've been checked to twice, a pretty big scare card has come, and you have good odds to bluff (value bet?)
