Your reasoning is that since the caller didn't re-raise, he shouldn't hold a hand like AA-QQ/AK that can call a 3-bet, and the preflop raiser will be hard pressed to call with anything but a premium hand since you're showing so much strength. And HT2 is right, you kind of prefer doing it with either a huge hand or something very speculativehand that doesn't have much value in calling with but can still flop big. A hand like 66 is profitable by just calling.
You don't want to do it with 66 because if you get 4-bet, you will now reaslise that calling would have been very profitable since your opponent has a big PP (or AK), exactly the hand you want to see a flop against. If you get 4-bet with 86s you can just dump it without regrets.Statistics: Posted by Stoneburg — Sun Nov 18, 2007 4:33 pm
