Just Jam flop but as played snapcall turn. Villain has dumb bluffy stats and this is air/ an underpair to ur Q a ton. And if he happens to have a T u have some outs.

At what point do yo8u think I should give my read that he mincheckraises monsters enough credit to alter my decisions.

Sadly he mincheckraised me 3times that night each time walking away with my stack


I would normally jam the flop but the previous hand made me prefer calling to hit my flush outs. Too much weight on the previous hands read perhaps?

Oddly enough my experience (and others from other forums) has taught me that a min check-raise almost always indicates a VERY strong hand.

If you are going to continue to play after the flop I would do so thinking I'm drawing, and a Q would rarely be good enough.

Sure he has bluffy stats but your hand experience with him to see betting patterns is more valuable info.

I don't like the flop call due to your odds really... Unless you were sure a diamond would guarentee you his stack...?

Did he play a wide range of hands?? If he did, push all in.. If he was quite tight, fold

well 3 times certainly isn't enough. Not only could his perception of monsters include hands you're actually a favourite against (JJ and under for ex), but you also have decent equity against QQ+ still, and he'll be bluffing more than often enough to make jamming flop just fine.

In my experience the check-minraise can vary completely from player to player. Some do it as a complete bluff and slowplay their monsters, others do it strictly for value. I'm perfectly fine jamming here, even if he's shown to do it with monsters. Hell, he might actually be adjusting and trying to represent a monster when he's actually bluffing this time.
