poker is so much easier in position with reads
ok oop against a random on a co-ordinated flop [2 suited] if we
cbet our over pair what will happen and what would i be thinking.
[flop :
:
]
1. if we cbet how often will villain fold on this particular flop..mostly he will fold all hands we are beating,is that good with KK oop?
2. how many worse hands call.
3. how many better hands fold to our bet,not likely here
4. how likely will villain raise our continuation bet, and what are the consequences of that..
well mostly with this texture flop, your bet sizing pre and post, the only action you will get back is sets,2 pairs,straights,over pairs and strong draws [A5cc A3cc A2cc AQcc 78cc 35cc] and very seldom massive bluffs re-raising , top pairs just call [not hugely likely on 6 high flop] and with no reads you cannot tell between the draws and made hands that are beating you.
So i prefer to take a check call line mostly [no reads,these type of texture flops] and try to get to showdown cheaply if i can [thats if i dont improve on 4th or 5th street
]...Your playing live so you"ll have more feel for the player/situation if villain gets all aggressive on the flop and turn which helps.We still and met get more value imo with checking here whilst trying to keep a bit of pot control.
Your thoughts about wanting to take the pot down on the flop [
especially this type/texture] either means u take a small pot 60% of the time and the other 40% your in trouble scratching your head thinking WTF,this thought process needs changing imho.
Looking at possible hands that villain could have here,there are 43 combos beating you,39 combos that you are flipping with and 70 combos your beating,by checking you give yourself the opportunity of more options on 4th 5th street.
anyhows i hope that gave u a different angle to look at it from.
