I think alan comes along a lot if we raise 22 here (given your brief description so far). Obviously not ideal playing 22 OOP 3-ways. I think I'm ok with the limp.



yeah agree, I just stoved it and putting 22 against a random hand and (even tinkering with) the limping range doesn't look all that great, plus i have little fold equity postflop, so i'm happy with the call pre

I don't think your flop & turn play is consisent. You raised the flop because you expect BBLT to fold without a piece. Once he calls, he has a piece, so I don't see what betting the turn accomplishes and we open ourselves up to a raise (although unlikely).

Also, its tough to say for sure without seeing BFB Sd stats, but I don't see him folding ace hi by the river if you raise the flop and BBLT does fold. I still understand the argument for a flop raise, get BBLT to fold his overs and hope we're up against a hand like KQ. I just feel your argument is flawed if you think you can get BFB to fold better aces hi's at some point before the river if you do get it heads up.



i think it's possible he coldcalls the flop with some overs/draws type stuff like guts, so on the turn with a reasonably big pot size i don't mind firing once more to get him to try and fold that stuff once more. against a more normal lagtag type player as the pfr, i agree with you that i don't have a lot of fold equity vs ace high type of stuff. however, so far vs this player in this video i'd been forming a read of him as very tight, so it seemed like a better spot than normal to try it. obviously seeing him show up with TT was a shocker and it's possible that's affecting our analysis of it. i also don't necessarily expect him to fold before the river no, but sometimes on the river (if i were to get it heads up by then i would probably be firing again)

If this is the case, doesn't our initial raise on the flop become kinda bad? We can't have our cake and eat it too.

Also, do weak players fold the turn with gutshots in this situation after taking 2 on the flop? I guess its really tough to say without being able to see his whole cards when he does fold.

well, there's a reasonable pot size that we're fighting for as well. So it doesn't have to work very often, and I think there is a part of his range that it will work against (not sure if that's roughly proportional to how much money i'm putting in relative to the pot size, though)
