4 handed pretty active players seems to be an online pro from Canada, seems to be a good hand reader and not scared money. Didn't see many of his showdowns but is winning atm, up about 4500.

Hero just won a big pot where he got it in with pair+fd 3 ways, was losing small up until this point. Hero is looked at as pretty active and good player but was cought bluffing 3x times in this session so maybe looks like he is forcing action. (I thought they were all decent spots)


V opens to 40 on btn 5 handed (3rd time he's done it since we started 5 handed ) Hero 3 bets 77 to 120 in SB v calls.

Flop k97 rainbow. Hero bets 165 v calls.

Turn is 6c making 2 clubs. Hero's bets 380 v makes it 900.

Hero? I'm looking for the best way to proceed with this hand and why? Thanks

Depends on what u think his btn open/call range is... if he has K6s 69s 78s etc I click it back

Didn't mean to put eventually in the title.

Not sure if you'll get good advice on a 5/10 hand in a LLSNL forum, OP.

flat pre, call now

something more specific than active would be helpful, particularly since you are short handed

you call - you never fold out better by raising and it's unlikely he will continue with anything behind. He could be trying to get value from what he thinks may be AA or AK and raise with 2pair like K9

i don't think he ever puts you on 77
He could have 99 or T8 as they would call ur 3bet pre this deep. I'd call and hope a T or 5 doesn't peal. I really don't think you should be playing for stacks with bottom set on this board.

Also not sure how I like the 3bet pre with 77 OOP this deep. It's fine sometimes but I like a flat better.

OP,

Why did you 3 bet pre?
What's his PF continuing range?
Does he raise 10-8 Otf?
What is his flatting range otf?

Well, he was opening extremely wide and I thought I could get him to defend a wider range than normal since he was on the btn and we were deep. Do you guys feel it should be a call pre?

I think he would call 108 pre and otf. Think he would float a ton of hands 5o see what I did on the turn

when you say he will defend a wider range, does that mean he will flat the 3bet wider? If so, don't you think it will make post flop a lot harder since he will float in position when we cbet our air with our tiny bit of equity?

Especially against a guy who can turn any board into a bluff while we could appear to be holding an overpair this deep (I mean look at the pressure this guy is putting on us even after hitting our set).

Yeah you're right. Good points. No reason to 3 bet in this spot.

I would expect him to bet most rivers for thin value w/2p+ and bluffs that were floating and picked up backdoor equity on the turn. Flat the raise and see what river happens on the river.

Yeah he insta checked back the river so I'm assuming h3 had sdv but idk what he could've had, river was q so maybe he checked like k7 or k6 but instantly I doubt. He was betting pretty thin

Probably rivered a queen with QT or Qxcc
