This hand was posted from a non 08 player. Whether or not to 3-bet the flop is the question. I'm going to link this to the LC thread from which it came and to which you can look on the last page to read what's been discussed so far.

I mean, the board is uncoordinated, even OMC could have A3 or 24 here, I like the three bet. Howard, if you were the old man, I’d just call.

This crosspost is what led me to find out Buzz passed away. Bummer, always a very respectful poster.

Don't really like the flop 3 bet. It will fold out hands with worse low draws. And you probably don't have currently have the best hi hand and wont really fold out better hi hands.

So it accomplishes bloating the pot with gut shot wheel draw/LD which may well not be the only 24.

Would be much better 3 betting flop if you have some hand with 245.

Would say though that if the players behind were massive calling stations maybe could 3 bet if they are likely to call with hands they shouldn't be but mostly flatting his raise would be better.

I don't like 3 betting for the reasons stated above, but it's bc of the game conditions (live and small/mid stakes) that elevate those reasons imo.

It's a live 10/20 fixed limit game. These players and their mubsy thinking might view any postflop raise as the nuts. At higher stakes, players are going to be cognizant of the fact that they could get jammed and will likely not be folding for 2 more small bets after having put in the first one.

If we have A356 in an aggressive game, we may be 3 betting to try and ko better low draws and all the Axxx that can make a better Aces up. But that's not something that would occur as much in a live 10/20 as compared to an online 10/20 or a live 75/150. So in the example provided, my priority would be to not fold out the worse low draws so I would just call the flop.

I play it the same.

great post

It's the truth. Sorry you don't approve.

Obv wasn't about you having a different opinion than me lol

But seems a bit pointless just to say you played it the same with no reasoning so I guess I just made a wee sarky reply.
No worries though

Rich's post is just fine, we have great equity on this board with TPTK and the inside wheel draw. Even if we get quartered, we could make money. There's also few hands in OMC's range that would have us dominated like 9942.

And I mean if you know you're going to make nut-nut, wouldn't you jam too?
