$25 PLHE 6-max: anyway make more money on this hand

[pierceisgod]

You should have probably insta shoved the river to make it look like a bluff and he would have called for his entire stack you couldnt get anymore money from the other guy if thats what you were thinking when he sees two people comitted to the river he has to have atleast a king to play there so you should have focused on just the raiser.

I don't agree with folding pre-flop. At higher stake games, you'll want to fold, or balance some of your range with flatting big hands here. However at micro stake games, and considering the small 3-bet sizing I think calling is still profitable. If stacks were under 100bbs, and the 3-bet was larger, then folding is fine.

You're not just set mining either. You have position and can take down a lot of dry or low flops.

You don't mind cold calling a 3bet here when we don't close the action?

We're only deep with the SB who is yet to act, the original min-raiser has yet to act on the 3bet so we're far from certain of seeing a flop for $1.50, and winning the pot with less than a set postflop is going to be harder even with position because we're almost always going to be multiway. All that makes me think folding preflop is the most correct play.

Correct.

I think at higher stakes games, this is more of a concern than at micro stakes. All of your reasons are valid, I just don't think they are applying completely in this particular game. I mean look at the hand, the SB also called, and the MP player didn't even think about the dead money and just called as well. I think this is pretty common in these games, but I don't play them, so perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.

I wanted to say call earlier but didn't want to start a big argument against the masses lol. It's only 6bb's to call, people arent aggro enough in most games where we arent going to see a flop with over 15:1 and most likely against two full stacks atleast who are often going to catch a piece, and we're IP so a non-zero percentage of the time we could actually just stab at the pot and get folds. Going multi-way really isn't a problem for us, it is actually the main reason im always calling here. If the original raiser had opened 3x and got 3bet 3x then i probably fold, i just expect min raising fish to be more call 3bet happy than 4bet happy.

Hehe....

I think this is where adapting to the game and situation is important over standard rules. If this were even 200nl, and they were normal size raises, I would agree with you 100%.
