1/3 live.

V1 ($650) is somewhat loose pre. Postflop he likes to float but won't station with complete garbage for 3 streets. He rarely folds after he limps. Earlier, it was checked to me on the button in a 4 way pot on a K53 two club one heart board, I bet 2/3 pot and he called with A8hh after the other two folded. He's made a couple of other light flop calls.


Hero (1k) probably has a fairly abc type image but plays tighter preflop than most of the table. I've been playing with the villain for around 6 hours.

V1 limps EP, two call, hero makes it 25 from the SB with AhKc. V1 calls.

Flop: J93 r.

Pot: 54.

Hero bets 40 viillain calls.

Pot:134.

Turn: 2c bringing bd club draw.

Hero??? Hero bets 70

My thought here is to bet on the smaller size. People often tend to think of bets in terms of raw dollars instead of percent if pot. While I'll never fold out a jack, his range is pretty wide here and won't like even a smaller bet. I don't think his range is that sensitivity to bet size unless I size the turn big and then size river large to get him off a jack.

He folded but thoughts on betting turn, sizing, and rivers you would fire on would be appreciated.

Yeah, I think vs this villan im firing two barrels a lot, and three sometimes. I would probably just go ahead and go some standard 2/3rds pot every street, so id probably go 100 or so, but 70 is fine. Good reads, very well played.

Looks perfect to me.

nicely done, you played it better than i would have

Perfect.

I fail to understand but how is the 2c a good double barrel? I mean, he's never folding his flop calling range on that turn vs that sizing a huge % of the time IMO.

Would you db this turn vs a standard loose/passive V?

yeah i would. One of the miracles of loose passive fish is their range is so wide pre, and they raise so rarely (and only with value) that they manage to call too wide AND fold too wide. So in general double barreling with weak equity like over cards is going to do well. They will call flop with 2nd pair, rando air, gutshots, whatever, and then they will fold turn. And then on river the only reason im not three barreling is because hands like QT T8 will let you win at showdown occassionally.

Tomark, You are saying that they check behind OTR with a busted draw, after you bet the flop & turn, correct?

Where do you play that this is the most common response from your Vs OTR after double-barreling?

everywhere.

This was specifically against a "loose passive fish". So you bet flop 40, turn 70. now the river pot is 270, loose passive fish has like 500 behind, and a typical loose passive fish in your game does what? bluffs $200?
