Blinds are still low .. 20/40 with small ante

I just won a big pot AA vs KK preflop reraise war all-in and double up im the chip leader and ive been playing very conservative so far.

Im the CHIP LEADER at my table with about 70BB

I started opening my hand range and raising 2.1BB here and there.

So this hand i do the same with 67s at MP2

I get reraised to about 7BB he has position on me, he's on the CO and I decide to call (this guy's stack is 50% of mine.. He has about 35BB)

Flop: 367 rainbow

I bet half pot and he calls.

Turn: A , still rainbow board

I raise 1/2 pot and he calls

River: J

367AJ no flush possibility board.

I check and he goes all-in on river.

Its not like he did a super small reraise to flag a monster hand it was 2.1BB to 7BB .. What can he be reraising with in position? I think it can be many hands.

I really am thinking the only hand he could have is AJ or JJ that beats me... I eliminated AA from his range since he reraised too much but that could be a mistake to remove that with his "larger" reraise.


Do you call or fold ?

Fold pre. Calling a 3b with small SC's oop is bad news. Stacks aren't deep enough to justify the call.

Don't donk the flop. He took the lead with the 3b so he's going to CB a high%. Trap him. X/c flop or even go for a x/r.

As for the river, it's a bit hard to make a decision without knowing stack/pot size and I'm too lazy to do the work to figure it all out.

Flop is so perfect for a c/r. Not sure what to do on river since he never has AJ but can't have many bluffs either tho.

+1 to fold to the 3b - I also wouldn't rule any hands out from the sizing.

As played you have top 2 with an SPR of just over 2 so you are not going to be folding - generally this is hand to play fast so x/r flop and aim to gii by the turn.

Playing the hand pre is too far to widen your opening range in MP2, in my opinion, especially since you have an image of conservatism, when vil 3b you in position you will usually be dominated. As played, check raise flop and ride the horse you brought to the rodeo.

I think 67s plays pretty well vs a 3b since you're not likely dominated tho...They don't have A7 etc. They can sometimes have TT+ but they're mostly flatting 66-99 prob.

I decided to call, he shows AA bwahaha nice turn

In position yes, oop a very difficult hand to play. Position makes a huge difference in spots like this.

I don't think position matters as much since we're hoping to usually just smash flops not hit 632 flops or whatever.

Yes but you have you think about all the times you won't smash the flop. Say you flop an OESD or FD - difficult/costly to play oop. And besides, with effective stacks of only 35bb you don't have great implied odds to call a 3b oop hoping to smash a flop.
