Ok I don't play these normally. but only thing filling up this afternoon. How do these play. Don't seam as hard as I thought? regs seam good but a few fish in the mix.

anyway ok line? just giving up on a pretty terrible turn.

with 10 hand sample size I assume his is a fish/unknown. Can't see him raise worse hands, as most unknown/bad players are just calling with flushdraws.

Usually Im x/c this flop vs pretty much anyone with your hand and balance that with nut flush draws (not to get raise off of equity) and ocassionally overpairs (i have a little randomizer that goes for 25% of my action eg. when im dealt AA I cbet this all the time with the exceptions of AhAx) 1st card heart being a randomizer for most of my actions. Cbeting/checking/3beting/flatting.

as played, definately folding on this runout. Cbeting this can get you in trouble tho and cbet/c builds a pot unneccesary when OOP. I cant see many regulars going uno dos tres with trash when you x/c flop. They usually bet once or check back.

Villains is very 9x heavy when he raises this size and shoves turn. Doubt he ever raises flush draw this big and then overbet shoves when hit

Interestingly your default for an unknown playing 10/12.5 after 10 hands is fish /unknown. Where my default would be reg/unknown at this BI. Maybe its because this BI is the top of my game selection I therefore have a different mind set. ( am I scared or are you just a boss lol)

Also I realize I regard anyone who profits consistently as some sort of reg be it even say 5% roi. but you may consider them recreational. I regard myself as a reg (although newbie/part time reg) where you would probably consider me rec.

I like your randomizing idea of using the first cards suit when it doesn't match the board. I've heard of checking watch to see if second hand in the first quarter but I prefer your idea.

Its not something I have yet incorporated as I just don't play enough volume vs anybody that I feel its necessary.

On turn I thought he had 9x sometimes but also some combi drawers that have either picked up more equity (well more drawers becoming combi drawers) or combi drawers that have hit strong but vulnerable hands like low flushes (and to some smaller extent straight drawers hitting straights) and also sets and 97 occasionally for top two. ( may have to be suited) looking to get value from over pairs and charge out single higher clubs for a redraw.

I think one thing to bear in mind as I am unknown to villain is he will think I will be willing to stack of 75bb with an overpair 2 handed.

Obviously given his large flop bet my call and that turn the turn fold is pretty standard. but I think I'm folding my overpairs on turn to. maybe I call if I have a higher club for redrawer but probably not tbh.

I don't think villains range is as 9x heavy as you seam to. Staking of 75bb with tp?K on a 9 high board seams pretty loose readless at this B.I.?

I should of tank/scoped him on the flop. Got to be some advantages to playing only 6 tables right?

10 hand sample is no sample. You could have no hud and have exactly the same value as after 10 hand sample. Thats why its unknown/fish to me as I play a lot and havent play with him yet.

Yeah, checking watch is fine, but takes more time

If I had an overpair OTF and saw this huuuuge sizing, I would just shove. It looks way liek 9x most of a time that wants to protect, sometimes flushdraw, but rarely a set or something. So I would shove to get value from 9x that he is not capable of folding, but might fold later on because of the board getting scary or something.

fish will stackoff 150bb in 3r with 2nd pair, believe me. Scoping/deciding otf is fine obv. I would shove with overpairs and not cbet underpairs.

Think you have to treat 10 hand samples as recs unless you have other info.

Check/call flop here seems standard (then you can probably x/c turn as well).
