Did villain always open for 3x ?
Think I 3bet/call pre
otf villain only has 25k left, folding seems out of the question, think i prefer shoving to flatting, villain might also call with hands you have beat (77-99 for example)

EduardSB · 02-06-2012, 07:13 AM

very very hard spot. I think i'm 3-betting/fold here is the best. If he flat's your 3-bet get it in. I think you should flat here now, if he shuts down, apply pressure, if he fire's another bullet, get it in or fold.

You're not deep enough to setmine so if you're going to give up on that flop you should fold preflop.

Best flop you can hope for.
He will probably call your shove with any pocket and maybe AK.

let's go broke on this flop

I like the 3 bet/ call pre as well.

As played I think it is a shove now, rather than a flat.

Karlis123 · 02-08-2012, 07:34 AM

Any reads about how often is he C-betting or c-bet sizing ? Anyway I think its a shove

hu9881 · 02-08-2012, 08:34 AM

3b/c pre
jam now
