He got the check raise on the flop which should tell him what he needs to know. If he thinks he is only slightly behind, since this is the sort of flop people will often bluff, he should just call instead of trying to force a lay down. Many people will continue their bluff on the turn, which he can keep calling down profitably. <BR/><BR/>But 3 betting in that spot is absolutely terrible because it's a double whammy of having no worse hands ever calling and having very few slightly better hands folding. It may work on 'Bob' who can make a big lay down, but it will generally not work - he either wins $15 pot or loses $160 pot. <BR/><BR/>That said, I don't like the CR with 44 either. If you put him on big unpaired cards, you can get to showdown cheaper by letting him fire 2 or 3 streets - and comfortably folding in the unlikely event that an Ace hits (~12%). Usually - unless you're playing the Pinata or another supper aggro - you will be beat here by better pocket pairs; 55-AA.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04543614268379117645noreply@blogger.com
