Question
In this hand of a six-max game online it’s folded to a winning tight-aggressive player who raises to $6 on the button. You three-bet to $22 and he calls. The flop comes 8
4
3
. You bet $30 and he calls. The turn comes 5
. You bet $60 and he calls. The river comes 2
.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Check-fold
Your opponent is showing a ton of strength by calling the flop and turn in a three-bet pot. Check the river - there's not much chance you're going to be bluffed out, because if he has a hand like 8
7
he's going to check through and see a showdown. He's only going to bet with hands that beat you. Conversely, betting is no good either because seldom are you going to be called by worse.
