ACE MAGNETS!! hand quiz - Page 4 - Micro Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

I think we're way behind here. He three bets preflop with two raisers and a caller to act behind him, just screams bullets to me. That said, I go with option c as well, but probably not for $9, if hes gonna fold to $9, I bet he folds to $5 and if he's gonna re-raise he'll reraise either.

haha it seems 2007 was a good year for poker

This makes no sense to me.

Why would we bet and then shut down? The entire point is to extract value from non Ax hands. bet/shut down gives villain a strong read and they can attempt a very solid turn/river double barrel.

option c just reeks of the whole mindset that you have to c-bet cause you have to c-bet cause c-betting is what you gotta do.

check/call gives the obvious +ev value in the situation and also gives a chance to control pot size. Gives villain chance to bluff and gives you a better chance to extract value on turn/river.

^Why are you bumping a stone age thread?

Vituzzo is probably in his 60's now...

First of all, we are oop on the flop against an aggressive player with $11 in the pot and $20 left in our stack - there's no way we can play for pot control in this hand.

There's also no way that we are getting villain to fold Ax here. I wouldn't even bring that up, but I've seen it mentioned multiple times itt.
