6 or 7 handed - can't remember but it's late

Hero $850 BB AcQd - In for about $2400 and nothing is working today. Been catching 0 flops and probably going to go home soon.

Villain BTN - Indian player - covers but barely - He doesn't seem to be a pro but I wouldn't say he is torching money. Tough to say because at this point it's probably pretty clear to the table that I have done very little winning this session with adding on after whiffing time and time again. I am however happy to get into pots with him, as I don't think he is a great player.

Folds to BTN (Villain) who goes $20
SB folds
EZ 3bet for value I go $65

He calls.


$132

7c5c2h

I bet small ($65) with plans to continue on any club or JQKA
He calls

$262
Turn 6c
I go $125

Not the best club at all, but I don't think I can check and i don't want to bet huge as I want to set the price to draw

He calls


($512)
River 4h

Awful river for me

I have about $550 - $600 left and think about betting $300 or jamming but not sure it's best play.

Thoughts?

More pre OOP
AP give up, image is not good and this card is terrible for your range

+3. Just rack up.

I also think pre should be higher, $80 or so, and give up as played. Hand may have some >0% SD value.

I'd check turn, call reasonable sizing. Likely doing this with KK+.

Pre is awful size

I agree

Played pretty poorly for 2 days - ended up costing me $3500 in 2 sessions and wiped out half the months profit lol.

This.

I'd maybe even x flop and hope for sd.

I don't like your description of V in this hand , it doesn't really say anything relevant to ranging him, is he loose/passive... loose/aggressive

3b could be bigger but you are HU here and no players behind so I'm fine w/it

This is a board that doesn't hit your range well at all ; I don't think we have to cb this here

curious as to how you range him on each street? this can help determine your FE if you decide to bet river here

x/r'ing the turn is an option as well with the Nut FD depending on how you range him

As others have said way bigger pre, make it $80 atleast

Probably a good idea to check the nut worst turn in the deck for us

How can a club be the nut worst turn? I have the Ac so I’m drawing to the nuts

Generally we want to 4x pre OOP.

Pretty good flop for us range vs range so definitely looking to continue a decent amount. We should be checking almost full range on turn but with this combo we can be betting turn sometimes with the intention to triple. Depends on our image and what I think of V. As a default I would rather check turn and maybe check call or check raise.

Bigger on the turn if you are going to bet. Smaller is ok but then you have to be betting river. Small turn to give up river is bad.

As played on river I probably bet around $350-400. How much would you actually bet if you had a flush here?

bigger pre.

check flop

turn barrel is pretty bad, would probably check/call

river your sizing otf/ott were pretty bad, would normally be a jam. AP i dont think a jam is good given we have a bad image and the river improves some of his hands. he should have a lot of flushes/two pair/some sets/straights here and i think he'll find a call with some freq of 99-QQ esp w/ a club since you're perceived to be basically polarized to nut flush or nothing. i dont think people give you credit for 3b 98cc/109cc/KJcc here even though you're supposed to.

Check turn and river
