Hi all,

1/3. V is unknown, seems a little off. Arrived in a wheelchair due to morbid obesity and talks to himself an awful lot. He hasn’t been at the table in a while but when he was here earlier he didn’t play much.

Anyway he raises $17 over a limp in MP and BTN calls, hero flats BB AKo with $220 eff. Limper folds.

Flop ($46): A-2-4r. V bets $26, BTN (most likely to have a set) folds, hero $75, V thinks and calls fairly quickly. Range Ax with worse kicker.

Turn ($196): 3r. Hero jams $150. Still beating almost all his reasonable Ax (T/Q/J). Shouldn’t have much 5x given call otf.

Thanks,
DT

He’s pretty inactive. Plus we can dominate worse Ax that might fold to a 3!. And have you played AKo OOP in a 3! pot much? It sucks.

And this is TWICE the minimum buy in, sir. Please do not disrespect my stack size tyvm.

Doesn't suck when spr is 1 or less. Stop trying too hard and making +ev spots more complicated than they should be.

AKo isn’t crushing an inactive V’s raising range in your typical 1/3 lineup and he’s never calling with worse facing a 3! to $60 or $80 I guarantee that.

I sometimes 3! and this time I didn’t given player tendencies.

60 is a very bad 3b size. Probably bare minimum of a 3b size range if you were only hu while oop. 3 way it's way too small. I'd start at 80.

Looks fine. Based on read and 70bb starting effective stack, calling OOP pre is fine. If Hero raises to $60 and gets called, the pot is $126 and there is $180 behind. We have to jam 100% of flops here which allows our opponent to play perfectly.

grunch.

Seems like a standard 3!/call pre vs anyone <75BB eff. If he's tight there's a % of the time where he'll r/f a hand like 99s-10s here. Also, even if we miss we have FE vs these hands on a Q-J high flop. I think $55 is fine with these stack sizes despite there being a caller in between. BTN should be capped at 10s, AQ

At this stack depth I probably just min-click flop if I'm gonna raise.

AP I think $60 OTT and $90 OTR is better than shoving. Don't want him hero folding AJ and we don't need protection on a low, rainbow board given that the PFR is tight.
