No reads on player, but seems taggish. Stats are 27/16 after 37 hands with 7 aggression factor. Doesn't really say much.

But here's what I thought. Please tell me if I thought correctly in this hand.



On the flop: We have a wrap and we have equity, so c/c is in order.

On the turn: We hit our straight, and villain bets strong repping the flush. He could or could not have it here and we could bluff catch with our straight. So we c/c again.

One the river: Villain shoves the rest. If he had the flush, shouldn't he be worried that we have a boat? Does he have the As blocker and is using that to bluff? And if he has a set on the flop, shouldn't he be checking back on the turn, concerned that we have a straight?

My gut says we call this river, but I was wondering if I was thinking correctly during the hand in the first place.

fold pre, not close.
as played you are correct he bets strong on every street. whats your image? if you considering calling down with a straight he is correct by betting his nutflush here. which boats is he supppose to be scared off that didnt raise flop?

What hands do you think he is bluffing with?

edit: re. rest of hand. I agree with above that pre is bad. BTN would have to be iso'ing pretty wide (60%+) and then MP just limp/folding a good amount for calling pre to be OK.

Flop c/c whilst fine; there are other options too we can consider such as donking.

Hmmm. I think I am leaking in this spot. What range should we be calling from the sb/bb pf?


I think it's too early to be concerned with my image. But I was seldom getting off line at that point, if that matters.

True true. I should have thought of that in the heat of the moment.

Fold pre ffs

Never fold pre. Fold river.

Fold PF.

Flop is fine. I don't like a lead here against 95% of players - it sucks ass when we get raised.

I fold turn without reads. Most people just don't barrel on flushes often enough.

As played, I fold river as well, although his large bet size is questionable. Again, most people aren't going to barrel this, and I don't think it's unreasonable to think he would VB a nut flush.

EDIT: Nevermind, I misread that we're playing against a 27/16 player. In that case, your image is critical. If he thinks you're TAGgish as well, then I definitely like the river call - that bet size is too questionable. Turn is still close though.

By fold PF, meaning fold because our hand sucks or fold because there's a limper then a raiser putting us in an awkward situation post flop when the limper calls...?

Fold preflop because you have bad position, your hand is marginal, and there aren't enough people (read: pot odds) to call profitably.

Cool. Thanks.

Don't listen to these nits you can profitably call pre if you're good enough postflop. If you watch apo5tol's videos of him playing these stakes he was defending ridiculously wide from the BB. I would fold though. Also fold river.

I love sinking this flop, there's so much we can barrel here OTT

With the limper this is a fold preflop, without the limper this is a snap call in the BB vs BTN.

Limper behind you're running risk of being reraised in which case you're forced to fold.

Vs a standard 40-60 BTN open and closing action you're fine.

On river as played id fold.

I would also think pre is fine, but marginal. With the fish, cant be to bad?

River seems like a very easy fold.

He could and should bet this river for value with the nut FD. I fold both preflop and river.
