First to act pre flop 9 max. Im 3 betting this, thoughts?
I think he's just jerkin our chains. Nobody 3 bets with K 8 or 9 especially if they're not sure which one it is. Sir, or madam, you need to repost this in the "Joke of the day" thread.
????? If you are first to act preflop how are you ever 3-betting unless you backraised (limp then raise a subsequent raise ahead of you)
Either way, if you're ever going to backraise, best do it with AQ-AK when you have supper Laggy thieves in the CO and BU, because of blockers and you are likely to pick some bets more than a raise UTG??? then again, if those guys are laggy, prolly best to stick a standard raise anyway and not complicate things
Still, mostly dangerous strategy.
K8 or K9 is an autofold preflop UTG full ring most of the time...
Would you mind defining standard raise? Im under the impression 3 times the big bling is a standard raise?
If you are first to act preflop, you can't 3-bet. A 3-bet is when you are the second person to raise.
Blind = 1 bet, a raise is 2-bet, another raise is a 3-bet.
Therefore, from your statements, we all assumed you were UTG (under the gun, to the immediate left of the big blind).
K-9 or K-8 is an automatic fold from UTG. To many people yet to act after you. You would likely be playing a mediocre hand out of position. Not a good idea.
I was never informed of this terminology either ;( but now that isee it i understand and there is no such thing as auto fold in my books! The more you fold the less pots your in on, the less pots your in on the more boring it becomes and less money you make. Good luck with you K 8/9's they arent working today for me!
