I need to know, is this a legit cooler? I don't think we can x/f river with a set unless we are being super-explotative and V shouldn't have much 7x in their range anyway.
V is a pretty normal passive-y fish that won't turn anything into a bluff, I don't think.
Woa what's with the 3bet preflop? I don't like that at all vs a fish.
I think Kimes is probably spot on with the rest of the analysis.
Oh and by the way making exploitive plays against fish isn't really a bad thing because they're not really looking to exploit or understand exploitation the ways in which a reg might.
- don't like 3betting 66 vs passive fish
- don't like x/r vs passive fish, tho this is very good line vs reg/weak regs in this spot imo
- bet 12 otf, 34 ott, and probably x/f river.
Agree that you shouldn't be 3-betting this unless his button steal is ridiculously high. This is tough though because the spr is not set up favorably for us here in a 3-bet pot. Normally I'm setting up my flop bet for a shove turn that's not a 5,7, or T. I guess we could get there with a pot sized bet on the turn to commit ourselves. As played you weren't committed so it's ok to give up this river.
Even if we make pot size bets and left ourselves with 50-45bb otr i think we cant just x/c 'couse we are commited'.
- betting really big will make his float range stronger, he will have less air otr
- leaving ourselves 45-50bb otr means we are willing more likely to station his river jam, some ppl realize that some not
- he will not jam worse for value, the only non 7x hand he could jam here will be TT i think
- he is passive fish

I agree which is why we need to set up spr better pre and post flop. I'm assuming op is 3-betting 66 (which is a leak) for value. If that's the case 3-bet bigger especially if he's defending 78 not deep stacked. He'll defend too much. But when we hit our 6 in a 3-bet pot which is best case scenario I'm always finding a way to get it in. Also he is a passive fish who's not putting you on a range and just playing his cards. We can over bet shove the turn and against him it will be for value.
Dont like the 3b pre, too and would bet closer to pot on flop/turn and as played check/decide river (probably fold). He might only call you with better sets or 8x here
Let's start preflop - there is no reason to 3bet your hand because it's way too strong to turn it into a bluff but not strong enough to 3bet it for value. Plus the player in the BB seems to be a fish and could call as well which makes 66 a perfect call pre. If you 3bet oop you should choose a bigger sizing, especially vs fish who you should be v3betting only against.
Basically you played your hand well on the flop and the turn however you should size bigger there.
But then you made a huge mistake on the river imo. You wrote that V wouldn't turn any hand into a bluff, which probably makes it a bet there. But you have to choose a sizing that makes him call weaker hands (any 2pair, JT,AT etc...). With hands like these he won't call a shove. And if V raises/shoves you just fold since he won't bluff.
