In situations like this where you are called twice in the flop and turn, there are two possibilities. He has a draw / mediocre hand (something like weak pair and gutter or an 8), or he has a strong hand and is trapping (perhaps a 5, a straight, or a full.) When you hit gin on the river, you should bet very large, because you should assume your opponent had a strong hand and act accordingly.
This is because the strong hands will call or even raise, and the weak stuff will usually fold to the third barrel anyway. In some cases you might even get hero called by a weak hand if you bet big, because the some players that looks more like a bluff than a small bet does. There is a group of players who either hate to get bluffed or love to make a correct hero call and you might be up against one of them. You can lose a tad of value you might have gotten from a curiosity call, but the times you get paid off on the big bet more than make up for it.
I don't think I'd even check the flop at higher levels, if I'm honest. Your range is strong basically by default when you open UTG, even in low boards you're gonna have mainly overpairs with a few sets, your overcards have outs, and you can still have the nuts with 88.
30% pot on the flop vs. 3 opponents, and not even on the button either? ummmm…. unless mayyybe you are trying to induce a raise, that is absolutely awful.
hard to imagine villain having anything besides 66 or 77 and playing it that way, or maybe A3s, A6s, or A7s?
Definitly dont like Heros sizing in this hand. On the flop you really want to ask people to be selective about their hands and thin the field. Yeah there are some hands, we lose to, like 76 or 54 or sets, but if they have one of those hands, we are likely going to hear from them at some point, and then we can just fold. And there are so many other hands, we are still ahead of, and which can pay us off. So these undersized bets are definitly leaving a ton of money on the table.
Lol
Nice
super
I think I could kinda buy 45. Sure most people wouldn't play 45 like this, but let's look at the potential logic from someone who could
– (Flop) I hit bottom 2, I have a strong hand. I'm lead into for a small amount. Looks like the original raiser doesn't have anything, don't want to blow him off his hand if he's going to keep leading, and guy behind me may call. Hopefully the original raiser just has high cards and will hit one.
– (Turn) I'd have raised if I didn't boat up because I don't want to get counterfeited, but now I don't have to worry about that. Original raiser still looks like he's got AQ/AK. There's no reason to raise now.
– (River) All of a sudden he's betting pot now. He's either got a monster that beats me or he will fold to a raise. I'll just call.
Caller: maybe I should check this flop to balance?
Bart: giggles
