together with what oppo would raise flop with or not
then maybe you have answer )
what hands do you beat that raise turn, Kxhh
being OOP i would say a pot size flop bet would be wiser.
he might have thought you were holding a suited connector KQs+ or holding AK
his turn i bet would go with either a QJs or a set.
as for river C/F or i would do a value bet then fold.
what i see from doing a pot size bet on the flop is i know the villian must have something weather it is a flush draw or set so then on the turn doing a simular size bet if he raised then you can be sure to fold as he would be more likely to hold a set.
also when it comes to the river the villian will know you showed strength on the flop so if you bet he would only likely want to shovee with a set.
1) If our opponent doesn't have the best hand then we do want them to put more money in the middle. If that means they raise with a draw or even just a pair then we should be happy about it. We absolutely do not want them to fold worse hands like draws if we're a favourite against them. When our opponent puts money into the pot when they're behind, without having the correct pot odds to do so, we make money.
2) This is a big problem. If we view a pot-size bet as always meaning that we have a hand, that makes us really easy to play against. If our opponent knows that we have a hand and can never be bluffing it means they can play absolutely perfect poker against us: They either just fold, knowing they're beat or they call with their draws and better made hands. It means they never get their money in bad against us.
We don't want our opponents to be able to distinguish between our made hands and our bluffs simply based on our bet size. We have to balance our range; making the same size bets with our value hands as we make with our bluffs so our opponents can't tell which we have. So if bearlyther would bet three-quarters of the pot on this board with just KQ, then he should also bet three-quarter-pot with AA or a set.
i might be better off just not bothing with these post and stick to the micro stakes post because i think these table are nothing like my tables.
with my tables being micro stakes mega bets and very tight is the way to play because their is too many fish and too much weak betting
when you say trying to avoid making it so all hands look strong with bets well if i hold say a set or the board was not a flush draw i would be slower and the same can be said if i were IN POSITION. it is with being OUT OF POSITION that makes me feel like betting larger with over pairs if i got a set or it had no flush draws i might C/R or C/C and only bet on the turn
Imagine you check/raise on this flop with sets and ONLY sets, you basically make it ridiculously easy for a competent player to play against yuo.
You need to sometimes check/raise with draws, sometimes sets, sometimes 2pr etc.
Personally, I don't think I'm ever check/raising when I've 3bet pre.
Don't get into bad habits at low levels, generally the best way to play works at pretty much every level. Full potting all the time with the goods is never gonna be a great strategy unless you're playing 1 particular person you know to be terrible. Even against complete fish full pot makes them fold weak hands too often
