1/3 blinds, 9-handed

BB: $77
MP (Hero): ~$275
CO: ~$180

Hero opens to $12 with TT, CO and BB call.

Flop ($32): 7 6 3
Hero bets $20, all call.

Turn ($92): 2
Checks to Hero.

BB has about 1/2 pot left. Not worried about him, and if he had a big hand, he probably would have CRAI OTF.

CO is LAP. Probably early 30's, wearing sunglasses. Takes a lot of time with each decision and puts in chips very slowly and neatly stacked.

Options are to b/c, b/f, c/c or c/f.

I'm going to remove b/c. I don't feel good playing for stacks if I bet and get raised.

Therefore, if we:

1. b/f, how much do we bet?
2. c/c, up to how much do we call and what's the plan OTR?
3. c/f, why?
4. If you like b/c, why?

Can we make this player dependent? Because if you are betting I don't see how you fold to an all in from the short stack.

All you are worried about is the loose passive guy. Against him, bet/fold seems like an ok line (but I'd like to know a little more about your read). If he's really passive, he's not raising you very often without a good hand. 98, AK, 87, etc are calling hands to him. Even 88 is probably a calling hand to him.

I think bet/fold is the line vs. Loose Passive and bet/call vs. short stack. Heck, you should be betting enough to commit the short stack anyway (since betting 1/2 pot commits him).

I think we're betting 60 here.

Check is a poor play here on the turn I think. We are ahead of a ton of their ranges. Make a value bet.

Also, it would help a little to know your image.

You can't bet/fold. If we put 55+ out there, then we have to be committed with an overpair especially when it wasn't 3bet pre flop. I would bet/call 60 because we should charge the draws here and we're value betting against 88, 99, and big 7s.

Is the villain in the cutoff, as described, ever going to bluff with a draw? This V calls with 98. He calls with 87. He's raising with a better hand the vast majority of the time.

This board only has one draw - the straight. If we get raised, V is repping 2 pair like 76 or a set. Is he really raising A7?

Doing some odds, say we bet 60 into the 90 and he shoves his remaining 150 (90 on top). We're left calling 90 into 300. I think I can find a fold at 3 to 1 odds against villains who don't bluff.

Against TAGs and LAGs it's a call all day. Against this V? Not sure I see what he bluffs with.

I think you are getting raised like 10% of the time here, and it's the 10% of the time you are behind.

Raise more pre, make it $15-$20

As played, flop.is fine though i'd have bet 25. Turn, bet pot and yes I'd call a shove. Reason is that since you raised pre lots of players at this level will put you on AK. So for under 60bb I have zero problems playing for stacks here.

havent dont one of these in a while and my range for villain may be a little off. the only questions we need answered from OP are what hands will he shove with to a bet ott? because he is LAP it kinda narrows his range IMO. but then again, ive seen LAP players get fed up and just say ok i has tp lets get it in. so let me know if the range is accurate for him shoving.

if we bet 60 and he shoves we get 3.41:1 which is 22.68% equity so looks like were good to go here.

Bet whatever the short stack has left and fold if the other guy raises.

I think that shove range is too wide for a LAP. In fact, I think that shove range would be accurate only for a LAG. It would be pretty bold to shove K7s over someone who raised pre and barreled twice.

To be honest, I don't even think the LAP would shove JJ. I think he'd be content to call again and evaluate river. So if he shoved, I could fold pretty confidently....and that's why I wouldn't want to play for stacks against him for 60 BBs in this spot.

And since the consensus seems to be b/f, I think bet sizing is important. Most said to bet $60, but I think that's too large a bet if we intend to b/f.

I think half pot is better. It's cheaper while also enough to charge any draws, lets worse hands call and is also the same amount I'd make if I had a monster.

So let's say I bet $45 and both call. We don't care about the short stacker who's AI. The pot is $227 and villain has $103 left.

What's the plan OTR?

There are very few safe cards for us. An Ace is scary, as is a 7 to 4. A Ten might not be good. So that pretty much leaves 2, 3, J, Q, K as "neutral" cards.

Do we shove river on a "brick" like a King, or do we check/eval?

Are we pot-stuck here, or can we still get away if we check and villain shoves (keep in mind that I think it's highly unlikely he would shove in that spot with hands like A7, 88 or 99....or even JJ).

And if we're pot-stuck, is it because we bet the turn?

Sorry for the long post. I just think it's interesting because it highlights how tricky it is to play TT even with an overpair on what looks to be a safe-ish board. It seems to be a real fine balance between getting value and pot-controlling...
