Hi.
Co was a solid reg , btn was a loose fishy.
what would be the best line on the flop? i feel i can bet/fold against co , and bet/call vs btn . but is a big bet/fold , i dont like that so much. how can i safe some money here , and play the best line , sizes?
Preflop: Hero is BB with A A T 3
2 folds, CO raises to $1.75, BTN calls $1.75, SB folds, Hero raises to $7.25, CO calls $5.50, BTN calls $5.50
Flop: ($22) 9 5 T (3 players)
Hero bets $15, CO raises to $55.61 and is all-in, BTN calls $31.12, Hero folds
Turn: ($99.24) 5 (2 players, 1 is all-in) River: ($99.24) T (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Spoiler:
Results: $99.24 pot ($3.00 rake)
Final Board: 9 5 T 5 T
Hero mucked A A T 3 and lost (-$22.25 net)
CO showed 9 J 7 9 and lost (-$38.37 net)
BTN showed 8 5 7 5 and won $96.24 ($57.87 net)
I think you can check the flop to save yourself some money. When you are 3-4betting pre it's pretty clear what your range is. Sure, they don't know if your danglers hit, but checking here saves you from bet/folding that $15. That said you put $23 in all together and the pot was $99 before you fold. It looks like you're committed with the SPR.
If you bet you have to call. Some merit to c/decide. Also some merit to seeing a cheap flop with disguised hand by just closing action preflop. Our side card connectedness is **** so we're hoping for A hi, flush or two tone boards. All the rest is a marginal situation
Not flatting pre -- you have 2pr+ or an overpair+FD >35% of the time on the flop, and those are money-printers in a 3bp, plus support from an assortment of boards where a bare overpair or overpair+GS is still really strong. Way too good not to pump it up. Your opponents won't flop that well nearly as often.
