l vi, I am going back to this PSA a lot lately. I am still thinking: what are exceptions to this "rule"?
Take this hand for example:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/78...l-tilt-493950/
If we 3b, we essentially cannot get called by worse. Hence I don't like 3b absent reads. However, a fold seams "weak." We are in those 1 in 3 spots where we hit with our AK. Furthermore, the c/r is really small, and the board is quite dry. So, say, we call. But then, what do we do when the villain bets a blank turn big time? We realize it may take 200BB to find out if TPTK is good
(Of course, one question might be if the situation is different 100BB deep.) And the way I read the PSA: well, but what else but a big bet could have happened on the turn? Nothing, the flop call is a leak!
What makes me uneasy about folding the flop, though, is that, if I always fold here, it's super-exploitable. Villains can just run me over with bluffs (even more, those bluffs aren't particularly expensive).
Keep in mind I'm a micro-grinder (25NL). Am I overly concerned that villains are playing back? Or is part of the lesson of this PSA that I need to decide on the flop whether villain is bluffing (in which case I'll have to resort to calling down)? Or am I misinterpreting this PSA entirely?
Any comments would be appreciated.
