Message: [QUOTE="slycbnew, post: 1468935, member: 43467"] Note that kingme didn't play this hand, he's trying to put context around an example, made up, hand that is only described for the river, not for prior streets. Here's a basic question - if you're value betting here, what hands worse than our QQ is calling given this board? The gist of the article is to bet here when we believe villain will call w a bluffcatcher like JT or T9 (we certainly won't be happy to be called by A2o or T8). A thinking Villain who's paying attention isn't going to call w those hands (JT, T9) unless he has reason to believe that we're betting a weaker hand than the trips, full houses, and straight that are all possible here, so the bet is a waste of time if he's not going to call it, and exposes us to c/r's and calls from hands stronger than ours.
