I don't like my QQ - its got horrible reverse implied odds where u either win a small pot and lose a big one. <br /><br />BUT, you have the luxury of position. So you smooth call and the flop comes babies. Because you just called pre the pot is very manageable. When he makes a standard c-bet I might either raise or again just call behind. If they re-raises me on the flop I likely give it away without good reason against a strong opponent. Had I smooth called the flop and he fired another substantial bet on the turn again, I got quite a bit of information and will consider releasing. It's rare to see good player multi-barrel with say AK after missing out of position.<br /><br />If they've outplayed me so be it - the best hand doesn't always win. But I'm always happy to see flops, get a few streets of information then evaluate my options... <br /><br />Just a different approach!<br /><br /><br />FG <br /><br />PS Say the opponent has AK and I just smooth call the flop then they check the turn, then I'm looking to bet the turn for value. It's super rare they'll check the turn with a better hand in this spot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803565406050693453.post-8984421813703672102010-04-22T12:55:12.938-04:002010-04-22T12:55:12.938-04:00ok, so I call in position with QQ, and the flop co...ok, so I call in position with QQ, and the flop comes all under and not dangerous.

If I was playing, I'd have PTR already open. When the CO raises, I'd quickly type in their name to get some stats. Against a LAG or weak player I'm definitely 3 betting, but against one of the many solid (winning)grinders on Rush the danger signals would go off and I'm looking to pot control against them. I don't mind smooth calling with the luxury of position then seeing what the flop brings. That's just my style/approach. Not necessarily correct but it works for me.Forrest Gumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314271152182792365noreply@blogger.com
