If we call we don"t necessarily have to flop a set to win.

Would you expect that we would check fold a lot of flops?
Care to estimate how often % we may have to check fold?
Sometimes, rarely? We will check call the flop and find ourselves in a really tough spot.
Do we really give up much opportunity by just folding pre-flop?
I am certain that we can find better resteal bluff spots.
Zozzy:
Yes we do miss an opportunity if we fold pre imo. We don"t always need to have 7/1 odds anyway in mtts to set mine. (I think cash game play is different but that"s another subject).
Also my opinion on 30bb shoves to a single raise is fine, as witnessed by my opponents on more than one occasion in Coventry. This play is not simply about maths but also creating table image.
Was I on the table when this hand played? I don"t remember it.
On paper the 3bet pre is incorrect, but he fact that rodders is the opponent does play a part in the decision.
Newportlad:
Agree with George here. This is NEARLY always a call of the initial bet. Depends on image/histort etc of player who raises.
duke3016:
There is a particular reason why I don't normally join in these debates and that reason is patently obvious. ;D
If I have 30bigs and he has a similar stack to me I am going to firmly put the decision back in the young Welshman's court with an instant all in. Because it is me he will call and I will shake his hand if he hits (or if he has a monster anyway). If he has a lot more chips than me, I will call and fold if I miss.
