Now that I'm able to go to the casino I've started to try out 2/5, with the intention of only playing during primetime, and playing primarily 1/2, until very conservatively rolled for 2/5.
With that being said, I knew 3 betting would be more of a thing, but I noticed I don't feel as comfortable in these spots because it's not much of a thing at 1/2. Unfortunately the "primetime" Friday night hours were not so great this Friday and I was in games with almost all regs. Could you please help with these spots?
1. $1.3k effective. We likely have a loose end of TAG image. Villain literally has not played one hand in the hour we've been at the table, but is very clearly a reg and is sitting on $5kish.
OTTH
We raise J
T
$25 OTB over tight passive HJ limp and villain in BB 3 bets to $100. Hero?
2. $600 effective. Hero is new to the table and villain is complete unknown.
OTTH
Hero opens 8
7
$20 OTB and villain 3 bets $75 from SB. Hero?
3. $700 effective. Hero probably has a TAG image. Villain appears to be a TAG reg.
OTTH
Villain straddles OTB $10, tight passive limps BB, hero raises $45 from HJ with Q
J
, villain stares hero down for about 30 seconds then makes it $140. Hero?
