Aussie Millions Main Near Bubble

$10k Aussie Mills Main 79 left with 73 paying.
Blinds are 2k/4k/500
My stack is 220k, Villain covers.

Villain in the hand is Bjorn Li, who 30 mins prior to this hand 5bet aipf w/ AJo against KK to lose an ~800k pot. I believe the action was CO raise to 9500, Bjorn 3bets the bb to 25k, CO 4bet to 65k and he piles it in. He was the chip leader at that point and now has about 250k and is tilting.

My previous table breaks and I move to Bjorn's table with about 30 mins left in the last level of the night. My 3rd hand it folds to me otb w/ QcTx (I have 220k). I raise to 8500, sb folds, Bjorn 3bets the bb to 20k.

Fold? Call? 4bet-Fold? 4bet-6bet? Why?

seeing as how he 3b AJ earlier vs co with deeper stacks than this hes likely even lighter for value here. also considering that he's likely tilted he'll prob just cram it in with an A5s type hand that he decides to 3b. pretty easy fold.

What about his bluffing range?

Played with this nutcase plenty here in the states. Call here all day and never fold a pair.His bluffing range is infinite, he is not tilting he just only has one speed. He is very good but overly aggro and lives to put u to a decision for ur stack.he cud easily have A2 or JT or T9 or 33, or a real hand and he prolly gets it in with all of em. Too high variance spot for u pf. Flop a pair and let him spew.

Re: Aussie Millions Main Near Bubble

lol wtf at posting this huge picture of villain hahahaha

seems best to flat and re-eval, flopping a pair and never folding by itself is not a good plan as there are obv plenty of spots depending on board/turn/sizing etc that you can fold. i mean obv the more comfortable postflop you are, the more of a flat it is.

Re: Aussie Millions Main Near Bubble

I decided to call. Tc 7c 2x was the flop and he bet 27k (I have about 200k) What now? Also, are there any flops that would be a good spot to bluff raise vs the villain? I decided to call, turn was an offsuit 8 and he bet 54k...

Tough spot. I just can't fold here vs. this specific spewer. He is going to be seriously abusive to smaller stacks on the bubble. knowing that, i prolly just make it 65k on flop and call his 3bet. As played, I like any option that doesn't include folding.

Oops, didn't mean to leave that option out. I thought about that (After the hand was over) and came to the conclusion that limp/calling pre may be the best option vs this opponent in this situation....

Re: Aussie Millions Main Near Bubble

if he's good he will prob discount all premiums from your range and ur range will be pretty capped, at least pre
also this allows a good opponent to see a free flop, sure he may be very agro but even he will fold a bunch of trash hands to ur raise most of the time. basically in short don't like limping

Re: Aussie Millions Main Near Bubble

click it back pre/fold. were you at table when he lost the big aj vs kk hand. Might make a difference. More likely to click it back if you were at table when it happened. If you click it back and he calls we got a nice flop so bet like 23k to induce his itch to barrel on you then jam over his raise and TID!

Agreed... unless you wanted to limp/3 bet, which would definitely look uber-strong. But again, vs this nutcase, i'd prefer the lower variance route.
