Reads: Young, early to mid 20s white guy. Well dressed and seems like a decent LAG based on just a few minutes of observation. Haven't seen a showdown from him yet. He's maybe a bit loose pre flop and has limped a few times. I'm new to the table so don't have any real image.
I open to $10 from EP with K
K
. Player to my immediate left flats as does villain from the SB. BB folds and the pot is $32 with $45 effective stacks against villain (he's the shortstack). It's about $100 effective against the other player to my immediate left.
Flop comes A
10
4
. I was going to commit on basically any non ace flop, so this is a bad flop. Flop checks around. Turn is the A
. SB checks and now I have some reason to believe no one has an ace so I bet $15. Only the SB calls. River is the 9
and villain bets all in for about $30.
I'm getting 3-1 so need to win 25%+ of the time. Am I good that often?
Since I don't have much info on villain, here are some questions for this thread:
1. Against an unknown, how strong do you rate their hand reading ability?
2. Against an unknown, what % of the time do you believe he will elect to bluff with a busted flush draw?
3. Against an unknown, do you think they'd shove JJ or 10-X here as a blocking bet?
After he calls the turn bet, I put his range on roughly: QQ (discounted), JJ, A-X (discounted just a bit for the higher A-X hands), 10-X (discounted), and flush draws. In other words, I expect 99%+ of the player pool to play a flush draw this way (getting 3-1 with about 5-1 implied odds. And if there's a gutshot as well, getting the right immediate odds since 12 outs is about 2.9-1 to come in.). But I expect far less than 99% of the player pool will play 10-X or A-X this way. Some might fold the 10X on the turn and some might lead turn with A-X or donk flop.
Anyway, call river or fold?
