He would buy in for the maximum of $500 & he was in for $3,500 within an hour. I waited patiently for my turn. ATM opens to $25 from early position & gets 3 callers & I look down at AA from the button. I make it $150 & he instantly jams his newly bought $500 into the pot. Everyone else folds & I call. He doesn't show. Flop comes T93 rainbow; turn 5; River 3; I feel golden & then he turns over Q3 off-suit & tells me that it's his favorite hand. ATM ends up sharing the $1,000 in front of him to the rest of the table & then leaves. Fun times. <br /><br />ohcowboy12go Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-3291231866638710422017-01-20T12:10:38.985-08:002017-01-20T12:10:38.985-08:00Thanks, s.i.....be sure I will open up my three=be...Thanks, s.i.....be sure I will open up my three=betting range when I play with you...or anyone I knows reads my blog. :) But I'm really not very high profile, odds of anyone at that table having seen before were pretty low.<br /><br />I do sometimes 3-bet QQ and JJ, especially in tournaments. But I know that is an area where I need to improve, 3-betting more.

It folded to the ATM who made it $9. I suppose that’s a situation that cries out for a three-bet from me, but I just called, as I usually do with Queens."<br /><br />I'm not sure if I'm reading that correctly, but it seems like your typical 3-bet range is AA/KK - is that accurate (I know you frequently flat w AK)? If that really is your 3-bet range, that's a pretty exploitable strategy. <br /><br />While it can be silly to even think about 3-betting ranges at 1/2 or 1/3, I think it's more meaningful for rec players with higher profiles, like yourself. If I know you're only going to 3-bet me with two hands, and fold almost everything but QQ/JJ and maybe A/K, I can raise you frequently off most holdings and I can play optimally against you post flop when you do 3-bet.<br /><br />Just something to consider.<br /><br />s.i.seattleirishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11592850961602955834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-44357214779355663992017-01-20T07:30:02.622-08:002017-01-20T07:30:02.622-08:00Thanks, Big L.

Yea...Thanks, Big L. No go-go dancers at Red Rock.<br /><br />Yeah, I miss Josie's blog too. But at least she's getting pretty active on Twitter, so there's that.<br /><br />I am feeling quite well.
