WSOP ME: AQ triple barrel
We haven't done anything crazy at this table. The villain is a Euro pro. They have been active preflop. 3 betting oft
ahh, I think we can handle (how we play overpairs on the river) like this:
we distinguish two cases:
a) european reg spend the last 7 hours on the phone
he has no idea of your 3bet frequency, he bluffcatches with J9ss because he also likes to have two flush blockers against random squeezes (that you do not have) that may have become flushes.
into someone who bluffcatches only with good bluffcatchers, like having a flush himself, we do not want to jam 150% pot with overpairs of course as he will only call off with better.
b) attentive european reg
he may have a better idea of your 3betfrequency and thus the range you end up with on the river.
then a 150% river jam with aces may become a real possibility.
If we feel that he's not too strong on the river, by a live read (or spirit giving you a message), we can really consider such a play.
two negative points though:
1) taking less value means you dont bust when jamming into stronger hands
2) in general, a one paired hand may feel less strong on an emotional level than a set or a flush, and thus one may feel less inclined to bluffcatch with it. So you wouldn't really achieve the desired result despite our previous thoughts. we have to also consider the emotional level.
