Hi all,

Looking for some feedback on this

Effective stack is 200 in a 1/3 game

Only been at the table for half an hour. Very very weak table it seems like UTG limps and we raise to 15 the cutoff cold calls. Middle aged gentleman who has 200. UTG calls.

Flop is K 4 3 with two clubs. UTG checks and we bet 15. We have the board so locked down

Cutoff calls and UTG folds

Turn is another 4 and we bet 25 he calls

River is a J of clubs so we make a flush and bet 75 he raises all in.

Thoughts?

Fold pre. Call now.

Fold pre. We ended up MW with a SPR of ~4 & no reads and a player behind us. In general, TPGK is unlikely to be crushing their stackoff ranges.

Bet larger on the flop. We can get value from draws, and some people like to float cbets.

As played, snap call, we're getting stupid odds here and his range certainly includes some lower flushes.

Personally, I would've folded pre flop. However, if you are going to raise, $15 is a fine amount in my opinion.

On the flop, the pot is $49. You c bet to $15, which is 30% of the pot. If you are going to cbet, which I would, I would lead out for $33, which is about 2/3 pot.

As played, the turn pot is $79. Again, if you are going to bed, you are betting way too small. You bet $25, which is slightly less than 1/3 pot. As played on the turn, I would preferably bet $40, or 1/2 pot.

Now onto the river, the pot is $129 and you bet $75. This bet isn't bad. I probably would've made it a little bit less, like $65, but I don't think the bet is horrible. He shoves, you're probably beat, but by a boat or nut flush, but you have $130 invested, only have to invest another $70 to win a total pot of what would be $419. You're getting the right odds.

Some suggestions for a better HH:

* Please provide pot sizes on each street.

* Saying table is "very, very weak" doesn't really tell us much. I'm guessing you mean they're really loose/passive. But a table of nits is also very, very weak, as is a table of maniacs, though obviously each in a very different way.

OTTH

Everything from this point on assumes you mean the table is very loose/passive. If that's not true, everything from this point is wrong.

I'd flat pre.

The problem with raising is that it depends for profitability on being able to move people off their hands. But that's just what loose/passive people don't do. If it were a nitty table, I'd be behind raising.

Because they're loose/passive, they'll pay you off when you hit and will often let you draw for cheap or free. That can make hands like KTs profitable for a limp.

AP, OTF, bet more. Loose/passive players like to call, so you don't have to make your bets super small. I'd bet 25 here.

Same deal OTT. AP, I'd bet 40 - 50.

Once the loose/passive player x/shoves, you're probably beat. But he just might be over-valuing trips or a smaller flush or have misread his hand. Given the price, you should call it off.
