Too weak on the flop??

**Pok 7's** · 03-15-2006

Table was pretty tight, (actually seems like this Prima site is pretty tight overall). Players behind me are both SLAA players... being OOP and with the PF action I think I pussed out a bit on the flop only because 3 bets PF tend to be rare on this site. I thought MAYBE someone had a set on the flop seeing how an A and K on the board didn't seem to scare anyone the betting seemed odd to me.

So with all that in consideration...still cap this?

Nice pot. I would play it the same.

I don't understand your play on the turn. Why would you lead out on the turn if you weren't confident enough to cap the flop?

**Pok 7's** · 03-15-2006

I wanted to see how strong both players behind me were. Especially ccc, if I bet and AlwaysUTG raises again to would cost ccc 2 bets cold to continue. I didn't think they both could have that strong of a hand. I figured checking puts the pressure back on me by the time the action comes back around and would've made my decision even tougher.

The flop play is fine if you do it for deceptive purposes, I wouldn't play it that way very often, but it can be deceptive.

The turn you should check-raise and take advantage of your flop deception, you get probably 2 more big bets in the pot that way. Don't donk the turn here.

I would've played exactly the same as you.

**11 11** · 03-16-2006

Yeah, i think the check raise could work well on the turn, two players(one who raised, and another who 3 bet on the flop) acting after you, could chance a bet is thrown out. But straightforward like you did was fine.
