Tough. I'd call the 3 bet and the river.

You are getting great odds to call, I would VERY RARELY lay down an overpair in a 6 handed game heads up.

He seems to have obviously outflopped you or turned the flush. I think your play is fine but as dave and supa said, you're getting odds to call the last bet and river.

What about capping the turn and if he leads the turn fold, but if he checks, check behind him. That way if he is semibluffing the turn with something like K T I make him pay. Or no, just call down?

Also fine. Interesting line. Could see it doing fine and it's what I imagine the 2+2 crowd saying. i still call down though =)

If he's semi-bluffing he'll almost always continue it though the river, so you're going to get that bet either way.
In general avoid raising in spots like this when you have outs. If he has the flush you still have 4 outs. Don't put yourself in a spot where you're going to have to fold a four outer. By the time he 3-bets you're nearly getting to odds to chase your boat.

If he's laggy/semibluff prone enough to make capping right, I can't imagine checking behind on the blank river being right. I'm probably closer to being the type of villain that would make capping right than most, so, if we pretend I'm the villain:
If you cap the turn, the river is a blank, and I check, you have a profitable value bet on the river, and it's probably not very close. Generally the only hands I'll 3-bet/call a cap on this turn, and then check the river with, include one pair and a high spade... It's *possible* I bet the river with a worse hand than yours, given this action, but if I check a blank river here, it is almost 100% of the time that:
a)I have a worse hand than you
b)I am calling the river.
I think generally this holds true for a lot of the players that might make us consider capping.

So what's your line, pansy boy? I have trouble capping on these kinds of boards, though.
Posted Fri May 05, 2006 4:06 pm GMT by snoogins47
Sorry, pansy boy.
I think generally it's best to suck it up and call down here... well, if it were me, it's call the turn, and then get 4 bets on the river because I'm probably going to hit a two-outer against TT.

What hands would a solid villain 3-bet this turn, given the preflop and flop action? I had played about 50 hands and didn't see anything out of the ordinary from this guy.
In other words, how often am I ahead/behind?
