Sorry if this is extremely vague and I don't have any HH. Please reply by creating your own variation of this situation so we can have details.
Ok, lets say you've got Ts9s on the button in a 6 max cash game. Everyone folds to you, you raise 3x, both blinds call, the board comes 8h9dTc. How do you play this if your opponents are tight, average, or loose, and check it or bet it, and if the SB bets and the BB calls, depending on how much they bet, what's your next move?
Thanks. |

| I'd be aiming to get it in on the flop vs. most opponents unless both the SB and the BB are putting a ton of money in he pot. |

| Thanks Riddim. So alright, for the most part commit on the flop, unless I'm facing a bet and a shove before me? |

Well, you can't really get it into a nice formula unfortunately. Everything just depends so much on stack sizes and your opponents. If the pot is $5 and you have say $20 behind, then yes try to get it all-in against most opponents. But if the pot is $5 and you have $100 or more behind, then you will usually be losing if you do get all-in, except against the very worst opponents who cannot fold a hand (or opponents who are likely to be bluffing). |

All of poker is about hand ranges. The answer to this question heavily depends on your opponents and what their ranges are. You need to decide what ranges of hands your opponents will be willing to get all in with. If you are ahead of their range, then you should get it in and fold if you are behind (remember to keep pot odds in mind if you are behind their range, but getting a good price).
So in this spot, you might say one opponent who is a huge nit only has either a straight, a set, or AA/KK in this spot. You might find that another opponent will get it all in with any OESD, AT-T7, all overpairs, straights, two pairs, and sets. It all depends on your opponent, but you need to find what is their likely hands given the action. For example, the SB and BB in this spot probably won't have hands like AA, KK, or QQ given the fact they didn't 3 bet.
This is kind of a complex subject if you are unfamiliar with it, but I hope this gets you off on the right track. |
