Hi all,

Quick easy hand just wanted comments and feedback.

It is a 1/3 game but hero recognizes V as a good reg and has very little history with him. I have 65BB V has 100+

OTTH v raises to 11 UTG+2 one caller . I'm in the SB and 3-bet to 28 (obviously way I small being OOP and with the caller. V could think this is a squeeze play prob. But V calls and the original caller folds

Flop is j 9 5 rainbow I c bet 30 he tank calls

Turn
Is a 5 I check..

Overall thoughts?

Sizing preflop is bad IMO. You're in the nut worst position and would rather take it down or make villain pay more. 35+ would be ideal.

As played I really can't say. Turn changes nothing but since he tank called I'm tempted to jam it in on turn.

When you have 65 bigs, you should get it in preflop or on the flop, especially out of the SB. Either that or flat and check/fold on the flop. Anything is better than this.

What do you think his 3b flatting range is?

Similar to what I was thinking. Problem is we're not getting better hands to fold that often (TT, 88 maybe) and we're already ahead of all cards that haven't paired the board.

grunch: as played shut it down

you took your shot. either jam it or fold... i'd probably fold without a good read or sense of my fold equity vs villain.

i think sizing was too small on both rounds.

More pre. I'd make it $45-50. Shoving missed flops. Gii over two streets on favorable flops.

Seems very reasonable

Anything to make of the $11 raise preflop? That's a pretty small raise in my game, which is typically just a juicer raise with a mediocre hand or a big hand attempting to get tricky. Anyways, with some dead money already in and just a $195 stack, I'm ready to go to war with AKo. I'd probably raise to an amount where I can shove a PSB on any flop, so I'd bump it to $60 preflop.

The problem with the smaller 3bet is that it often leaves us in no mans land when we whiff, plus being OOP there's a decent chance we don't even get to the river to realize our equity (and after putting in a bunch of money, that really sucks).

I'm cool with the way we played it postflop. Although it's possible we should be double/triple barrelling here (but I'd rather just setup simpler preflop/postflop situations with a bigger preflop raise).

For the hand I tend to agree bet more Pre, bet more on flop.

What I am curious about are opinions on the tank call. If Villian is a "good reg" then what is he thinking about on that flop when faced with such a small bet. Could he have flopped a set and be thinking about raising? If I am in V's spot sitting on a set, I think to myself that I want your whole stack, so should I raise here or give you a chance to bet again on the turn? That's what I would be thinking about. A plan for the rest of the hand.

I wonder what other opinions are on the "live tell," aspect of villain thinking

I would put zero stock on the tank call. It could be a set wondering whether to flat vs raise. It could be AJ wondering if he's up against QQ. It could be KQ deciding if he should continue with overs + gutshot. It could be QT deciding whether a semi-bluff raise is better. Etc.

pf 3bet is very low. Id go 45ish. On flop Id definetly be cbetting 66-75% pot.

As played honestly Id x/c turn and depending on river x/f x/c
