If you got 3b pre raised the flop, got called, and then got check shoved on, how good do you feel about one pair against anyone?
Villain took a pot committing “playing for stacks” line and then decided not to play for stacks. He put in 43% of his stack and folded to a fairly wonky FOS line.
I am hard pressed to believe this is the best reg in the room, let alone a winning player based on how poorly he played this hand at multiple inflection points.
There is no arbitrary line in the sand where stacks become too deep to play with one pair. It’s a simple range vs range assessment and if you believe you are ahead of their range then all options are on the table.
Villain played this pretty terribly but b/f the turn was the biggest mistake.
