3/5 NL - LIVE FR

V: Mostly plays table games but decided to give poker a try. This is his 2nd or 3rd time playing. Doesn't know how to proceed other than full size bets post flop and knows that AA, KK are premium hands. Folds out a lot of PPs post flop on scary boards. Has 250BB. He tripled up his BI with AA. So this is his first time sitting this deep.

H: Sitting with 600BB stack. Looks like bullying the table but really, just bad players stacking off with worse. Hasn't been bluffing all day this session. Just playing very well, folding out marginal hands and getting it in very good against others.

5 limpers including the v. SB folds. Hero checks his option in the BB with QTo.

FLOP ($33)
AT3ddd. Hero has Qd.

checks to villain who bets $40. folds to hero and hero C/Rs to $120. villain calls.

TURN ($273)
Qc. hero bets out $220 and villain tank calls.

RIVER ($713)

Ks. Hero?

People are really quick to yell spew on this forum and I usualy ignore those comments but...

What the hell are you doing.

Literally the only worse hand calling you OTF is KdX.

On the flop.

I have a pair with 2nd nut draw or I could even be drawing dead if villain already has K high flush but I took my chance. I usually lead the flop with flopped flushes and straights when first to act but it's very hard for the villain to continue on with the hand with a K of diamond in his hand or a set.

Seems like river is now a check-call. Villain is new enough that he's unlikely to bet without a jack or a flush. He's also new enough that he's unlikely to fold a jack or a flush.

But also, yeah, I don't like this check raise against this villain. He's too inexperienced to react predictably. That harms your fold equity and also makes it harder to range him. All you're doing is setting yourself up for extremely costly decisions oop on the turn and river.

Buy he overbet the flop into 6 players and it looks like he isn't on the BU from your hh so his hand is already made.

I agree it's hard for him to continue with Kd OTF.

OTR you have isolated yourself agaisnt a very strong range. No J in his range really unless he is the biggest of station with KdJx. In my games I would never do this but I guess you can overbet shoves and MAYBE get him to fold 33 and worse? Your 2p is almost never good here.

Agreed. Playing OOP against unpredictable opponents in large pots with vulnerable hands =

I'd be fine with a call on the flop, check call on the turn, check fold on the river against this opponent. I doubt the described villain is going to try to bluff you out on this river, and you most likely aren't beating anything he is betting for value. (maybe a new player with overvalue one pair Ace hand here and triple barrel? doubtful)

c/f flop lol

this is way too spewy. unless you have tons of meta-game going on with villain that you didn't mention, then i am c/f the flop. you're not going to make him fold better at this limit trying to rep the nuts.

Results, I want to know if you had the balls to bluff the river, maybe you even get him to fold some low flush like 5d6d 4d5d :P
