| Posted by: CoupDeGras at June 1, 2006, 2:02 pm | | Topic: 99 in LHE Forum: Bonus Whores | I have a couple of things to add to the 99 vs possible AK three bet preflop discussion
1. If you three bet it hopefully you will have your opponent heads up on the flop
2. by three betting it you are improving his pot odds for a single bet on the missed flop ex. the flop comes 358 rainbow and he check/calls the flop for a 9.5 to 1 pot odds call for his 6 outs (which he would profitably call with getting 6 outs out of 47 or 7.8 to 1 chance to improve to AA or KK)
3. if you fail to raise and only call two bets cold from later position then u get in cheaper and get overcards to draw for a lesser pot odds advantage 7.5 to 1 pot odds turns his call on the flop into a -EV play for him.
4. if you get into the pot cheaper then you may not scare away your prey when the magic A9K flop comes and you will be in raising hog heaven, whereas you may scare the desire to three bet on the turn out of your top two pair opponent who now because of a three bet pre flop wonders if you have the KK or AA.
5. if you only call you may get your opponent to put in a lot of bets on top pair which he will hit 1/3 of the time on the flop 1/7th of the time you will flop trips and he will be hard pressed to beat you with that hand.
6. If you three bet it preflop, you may end up paying the maximum price of 4 bets cold preflop, an overcard is going to come on the turn or river about 68% of the time making decisions a little trickier if your opponent is slightly maniacal.
Personally I like to just call and be aggressive on the orphan flops or trips flops
