| CALL Hero ($1.50) (I have position against these two crazy peeps. I want to flop a large hand. I thought of 3 betting but I felt I would prefer to play a connected hand in position against these two fish. Also the players behind me were not strong and I did not feel I was going to get squeezed. ) |

| BET MoneyMomamille ($2.50) ( With his wide range thus far I don't take this raise as much strength even with his postion and bet into two peeps.) |
| RAISE 2MucknFuch ($6.50) ( This could mean all sorts of this from this fish. Jx/set/) |
| CALL Hero (what is my play here? . Do I like a call vs. raise? Pros and cons for both please.) |
| FOLD MoneyMomamille I intially thought to reaise get it in on the flop. If we got it in on the flop I would not expect to be ahead. If I am against a set I still have around 30 perccent equity. If I added in AJ/kj/jq I am now a 42 percent. I thought of calling vs. that range and I started to think the fd I need may kill my action vs. his assigned range. So I was a little torn. Should I get it in behind or call and hope to hit but run the risk of killing my action if the fd compleates? Get my head on track please:) |

Two fish for the price of one?

I think the question becomes what you just touched on. How fishy is villain? Is he willing to get it in with top pair?
ReplyDeleteI really like raising with draws in position are here are a couple reasons why.
You take control of the hand and have a very good chance of taking down the pot right there.
Only an extremely small percentage of his range is a set, so when you raise you put him in a really tough spot with any one pair type hand.
If you brick the turn, he will check it to you 90% of the time and you can just check behind and try to hit, or barrel if it's a scare card and you think he'll fold.
If you hit, it becomes very easy to get value in position.
So I just really see a lot of positives for raising with draws in position, and not too many negatives. Remember when you get it in he will have AA, KK, QQ a whole lot for than he'll have a set, and your like flipping against those hands.
So if you don't think he is going to get it in with one pair type hands on the flop, and you'll only be up against sets and have 30% equity then you can just raise/fold when he re-raises and that is profitable because you haven't commited to much already.
However, if this player is at all fishy, and not a nit, then he is defo getting it in with one pair hands on the flop, so I just raise/get it in
