I'm guessing you are on the straddle if the villain is button and the blinds folded, but it's hard to tell the way it's written.

Is that correct? Just want to make sure before I post thoughts, as position is important here (and just almost every hand)

Your original post says that the blinds folded.

Got it, you are in SB.

When you are OOP against an unknown, bloating the pot with King high can make things very tricky and tough.

Until I have a better read, I'm calling pre and taking it slow. I'd like to have a better player profile before setting up a hand for stacks so early, with such a marginal hand, out of position.

As played, I like the turn bet with so much equity. Like the size too.

Probably shoving every river and hoping for a fold if the card doesn't complete us and hoping for a call if the card does.

Pre raise to at least 650.

Post seems fine, although I wouldn’t mind both street sizes being a little bigger as we want to create fold equity and build a big pot in case we hit.

The only rivers I would give up are the non d Q.

This is a very simple spot just download equililab and input diferent rivers and how many combos he get to the river and the ev of the ship on different rivers. Thing is with your sizing pre he as all the t9 jt 98 j8 aj kind of stuff, and there is no way people are calling river with what they should giving how wide they get to the river. I would ship all rivers but the Tx.

Pre is really bad. Flat or bigger.

We really shouldnt be bluffing blank rivers all that often, this board favors his range more and we block a lot of his weak hands that pick up equity on the turn.
Having said that, i'm probably still shoving any card 7 or lower, and obviously when we improve. Definitely giving up on Q/J/T and probably a K or 8 too.

Turn bet could be slightly bigger, but whatevs. Preflop SHOULD definitely be bigger, obv.

could someone elaborate why we wanna shove a lot of (or a even a decent amount) of rivers with this specific hand and run out? Isn't it pretty bad to block so many of the weakest parts of villains calling range? I guess backdoor diamonds aren't suuuper relevant but don't we want him to have kj/aj/k9ss type floats which given board and our hand he's way less likely to have?

is it because if villain flats this turn his range is capped at mostly one pair type hands as he's probably jamming two pair or better on this turn most of the time?
