Re: Low & mid pairs

<< < (2/3) > >>

Jon MW:
I would go along with the plan to make a 3/4 pot c-bet.

If I still had a caller I would lay down the hand to a worrying turn if they bet.

But if the turn was a blank then I would hope that your c-bet on the flop could buy you a free card on the turn.

I think some people might advocate firing a second barrel, but I"m too cautious for that.

This way you end up seeing all 5 cards on the board for the price of a relatively cheap bet on the flop. If you"ve not connected with anything I would be loathe to call too many chips off with what is likely to be 3rd pair at least at this stage. If nobody has connected with the board then either somebody will make a sensibly sized bluff and take the pot (fair play to them), or at most you"ll have to pay off a cheap value bluff/bet.

This keeps the pot low - but you haven"t got much of a hand, and I"m sure there"s some saying about only playing big pots with big hands.
