We had a couple threads recently on blind defense, and I was 'accused' of being a maniac, probably true. Here's one defense that I like, and frequently try and do.

Ultimate Bet
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $0.50./$1
10 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $39.50
UTG+1: $49.80
UTG+2: $22
MP1: $40.75
MP2: $26.45
MP3: $73.65
CO: $37.35
Button: $48.25
Hero: $42.70
BB: $15.25

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is SB with
7 folds, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, BB folds, Button calls (6:1).

Flop: (6SB, 2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero raises, Button folds.
Uncalled bets: 1SB returned to Hero.

Results:
Final pot: 4BB

Poor move in my opinion Marm. I dont like that reraise after the flop. Very risky move.

My thinking (shoulda put this in the OP). Guy is a TAA (Mungos, 504 hands, 17.3/10.7/3.29 with a 59% attempt to steal), I don't do this against unknowns or players that won't fold, no value in it. He raises PF from a steal pos. Most likely he is stealing and does not have made hand (Pair) yet. Then this very coordianted flop. This misses most hands, and you need or a 6 to keep playing here. There are very few hands that can keep playing here, so I'm going to show real strength and CR this. This was an insta-CR, not a pondering one. I wanted to make it clear to him there was no doubt in my mind he was getting CR'd. Put yourself in his shoes as a good player, what are you thinking now?

This was not blind aggression, this was a calculated shot to hopefully buy a pot.

Makes more sense now. You got more balls than me though. I get shaky with flops like that.

Exactly why I got aggressive. If you're shaky, he is too.

...You are so wise Marm...


IM NOT WORTHY!
IM NOT WORTHY!

Depending on the game, between 2 and 4 /100. Nothing spectacular. I frequently get donk momements that eat away at my WR.
