Why dont you point out exactly which part of my post is toxic so I can be a little kinder and gentler to you next time? I honestly see nothing wrong at all. Lots of people are rude on the internet and say things they wouldnt say in real life but I dont see anything in my post that I would phrase any differently if you were standing right in front of me.

Mike didn't even get close to the line. Let's move on folks.

Preflop is fine when I don't expect to get squeezed at 1/3. How positionally aware I think the villain is is going to determine whether I 3bet or flat preflop. He did open UTG +1 and we are next to act so ranges should be strong here. If you think his loose opening range applies from early position then I don't fault a 3bet. However I default to a flat here. I think this hand is too weak to 3bet if he's playing a somewhat reasonable range. We are fine going multiway with the potential to flop many strong draws as we do in this hand.

Flop I like a check with the field still behind us to act. When it checks through and he leads small on the turn we have a 15 out combo draw and Q high. Sometimes a K makes him a boat, but he can also have Tx where our Q and Jack outs are now live. I am raising this turn all day after flop checks through.


^ AP this I would size like 70

Fair points ..

But, If I find myself in a 1/3 game where no one is squeezing, 3 Betting or 4 betting.. Then, I have a guy that is opening a lot.. I am going to 3-Bet him a lot. If I flat here and then find myself in this 6 ways mess of bingo poker.. Yeah, no thanks.... (When I could of just 3-bet and got it heads up.)

We're too early and too short (at the very least non-deep) to be 3betting here. Simply too good a chance of running into far better, OOP while setting up a small SPR (a pretty terrible result, imo).

Interesting thoughts..

My thoughts.. Passive poker = losing poker...

I could find a fold button in a spots like this.. But, I hate calling..

I agree with that for the most part, but if you are going to call a raise and risk it going 6 to the flop, QJs is a pretty good one.

Just based on positioning, Id say calling is better than 3 betting here, but Im definitely not against 3 betting.
