I like the call OTF, but definitely OTT we want to be raising it.
As played, the min raise OTR isn't the best. We now know that villain is firing 3 times and probably has a decent hand. We HAVE to be raising more.
Yes, I agree. On the flop this was exactly why I smooth called. Holding the A
and flop containing K
10
That pretty much leaves Q
J
in villains range of hand combos. With such a small bet I thought it might be a feeler type bet and he would shut down to a raise. Unfortunately, we were only 25 minutes into the MTT, so I didn't really have a feel for this players early position range. Without knowing, I could only narrow down the hands you mentioned, with possible Q
J
combos or an AxQ
combo. So you think it should be a raise OTT and not wait to the river?
