Hi all,

1/3. V is good reg ($450). Hero covers. V opens UTG+1 to $12, folded to hero in MP who 3! $65. V calls.

Flop ($127): J-7-4r. V donks $75. Hero calls.

Turn ($277): 8. V checks. Hero checks.

River: 4. V checks. Hero?

I was a little unsure whether to be playing for stacks this hand or not. Don’t normally play this deep.

Thanks,
DT

Your 3! is too big.

You aren't that deep.

Yes, you are playing for stacks. All in.

I wanted to deny setmining odds.

Jam river because he wouldn’t check a set of jacks ott or river and I’ve underreped by checking back turn right? What worse hand actually calls a river jam? Isn’t there merit in betting smaller than all in?

River I don't really agree with jamming, it's a 1.5x overbet shove and I don't think it looks that bluffy. If anything, it looks more trappy w/ AA. I'd go large though, 3/4

Pre is most definitely too big

I would go between 3-4 x on the 3! so no bigger than 50 here;

I like the flat call OTF with KK here, feels like you are way ahead of his range;

I would like to see a bet on the turn , any reason for checking back?

we can get called by KJ/AJ and QQ; shouldn't be afraid of much , go for value

I would bet 120-140 on the turn; this wouldn't be a typical 3 steets of value bc you won't have much left by river so if he checks I jam and also if he jams on the river or turn I think we just call it off

The entire point of denying set mining odds is that after you get called you can safely play for stacks.

If I got to the turn this way I would bet for sure.
