With a small PP like that the call PF was OK as your implied odds are aprox 10x Then its flop a set or fold.

yeah, no need to do anything fancy at all. you didn't hit it you got to see the flop cheap, that's a good play imo. next hand.I do enjoy the volume of hands you post though, gives a little life to the strat forum, keep it up.

i dont think its all as black and white as that. you can lead at flops sometimes. you can c/r dry flops.you can call a street or two sometimes with a read and the right board (position really helps with this one asyou can check the river back). play around with pokerstove and give people preflop ranges and see how much equity hands have against them on certain flops. play with this so much that you can guess and get it close like "this guy raises 17% preflop from the button the board is ABC i have XX on average i have N% equity". a good way to get this much expirience is to just plug a hand into it every time you are involved in what you feel to be an interesting decision. then you use that information plus what you know about how your opponent plays various hands to play the hand. but yea, a flop with a king and a nine in it is the flop of death for a small pocket pair (although I think a ten is a little worse). an ace is nice if you have a read that your opponent is scared of aces when he doesn't have one. disclaimer - i do not play nlhe, i just felt like participating in this discusion. so please fire away at anything ive said that is wrong.

OK, I don't think there's any "plays" to be made three way. However, if we find ourselves heads up preflop or postflop, I think we can 3 bet and lead the flop with fairly positive results. We have to know if the villain is foldable though
