1/3 Live 10-Handed (No Rake, Time Charge)
BB is 35ish from Europe. He said he’s played one million hands online and he seems to be a good thinking player. He’s more LAG than TAG but not too loose preflop. He has the tricky LAG moves: floats, check-raises, triple barrel with a bluff, etc.
It folds to me. I’m in UTG+3 (right of the LJ) with around $300. I look down at Ks Js.
I raise to $15. Is this open too loose?
Everyone folds to BB, who calls. He has me covered.
Flop ($31): 8c 8d 3c
BB checks.
I bet $30 and BB calls.
(After reading this thread and thinking about this hand, I think checking or betting $10-$15 is better.
Against good players, I am too unbalanced if I keep c-betting the pot.
With bad players, pot c-bets are much better because those players often look at the raw dollar amount of the bet. $15 is small, he must have a weak hand, I call. $30 is big, he must have a big hand, I fold.
Also, I need to play slower and think through the hand.
Anyways, back to the hand.)
Turn ($91): 8c 8d 3c Ad

I bet $50.
BB check-raises to $125.

He showed his hand.
What do you think he had? I'll give you 3 guesses.
