A8s on board that runs out beautifully

[oldsilver]

line chk all streets

utg limp is std for this guy. playing without hud, but 40/20 with 90+ c-bet% might be about right. he's also shown a tendency to call down with any small piece of the board, even two overs if a mw pot is uncontested on the flop (not the case here ofc)

felt like i left something in the tank...

what did you do on the river?

raise 925 on the flop so you can jam turn

[gregz41]

shove river. Personally I'd c/r flop bigger and jam turn.

WTF bet sizing on turn and river.

You should be looking at sizing appropriately so you can get all/most of his chips by the river.

[oldsilver]

I put V on a small piece of the flop at best, possibly two overs. This hand was an exercise in extracting max value from a fish who was running like god.

If I'm looking at this hand as a $g or sklansky bucks situation, and ranging V as very weak throughout, what's the optimal line?

C/r could certainly be larger, setting up turn shove, but I felt in-game that a larger/std cr would shut down the action from such a weak v range. Am I wrong to think like this? Do I stick to std sizing even in this spot?

River managed to get another street of value from 3x, but I was trying to induce i must admit.

Not sure this was the train wreck you guys are making out

[gregz41]

while we have a big draw, we still only have a draw. And making a bigger c/r on the flop to set up a pot sized turn jam will maximise our fold equity for the times we don't catch a card on the turn.
