Hero - very rusty. prob play like once every few weeks now. unknown to villain, but i know of villain. been at table ~2 hours. mostly playing TAG i guess. young asian guy. ~$1.2k

Villain - recreational player who usually plays around $5/10. seems to not be afraid to play big pots. on the looser side, but not a maniac. saw him limp UTG and cold call a 3b with 9s8s. he stacked the guy on 982.

Villain MP opens to $40
CO calls
Hero in BB 3b to $200

Flop (~$440)
JsTs6d

Hero bets $175
Villain calls

Turn(~$790)
Hero?

do we like c-bet? seems mandatory given gutshot plus As, but i feel like villain continues a very high % of the time on this board. is this a c-bet + jam most turns spot?

Turn is???

Cbet a bit bigger OTF to set up a turn jam. I think you do want to double barrel this hand generally. It's a good balance to your value. I don't think you want to have any hands you bet once and give up here. You could put some of your AK no spade through check/fold flop if you wanted to. Definitely any random light threebets like A3hh I would be check/folding on this flop.

Check flop. Depending on sizing check fold or check call. Check AsA and KsK also. Bet all QQ and most non spade AA/KK. Bet all JJ/TT if you have them. Bet most spade spade combos. You can check a few like exactly AKss if you want.

what is your stack size?

I'm ok with the c bet given it's a board we can improve on and I think the sizing is fine tbh

turn card is important...assume it isn't a spade? Definitely barrelling a spade but in a vacuum, probably going on most turns tbh probably at 50% or just over of pot, giving up on river

Sorry guys turn was an off suit 3. Brick.

Stack size is in the original post.

Avarita is that your general approach, or an exploit vs a loose rec?

Should we agree that we have to double barrel hard if we opt to cbet this flop? Or do some people think a cbet is ok and then give up to fold out maybe his small pairs?

Yeah i’d start with a check.... with most of my range. AsKx imo should be a check here since thr board heavily favors him, he has 9 set combos and JTs that raise flop at high frequency, and getting blown off our GS + backdoor nut fd is pretty annoying. Plus if he has air like 76s/KQ he’s going to be very inclined to stab vs our missed cbet and we profit from his bluffs/air.

If he bombs for like 75%+ id quickly muck.

Ott i guess it’s close, his range is mostly capped to Jx/10x/draws that we are ahead of, some freq of 77-99, QQ. We have decent FE and decent equity when called. Not sure whether jamming is +EV though. If he’s a station im inclined to just xf

I don't think were deep enough to be checking overpairs really. I understand that the boards good for the caller and if we deeper I would always be checking aa kk etc/ We got spr of 2.5:1 right? I am just betting and setting up for a turn jam. I think this hand should just go bet shove. I mean we block the strong top pairs but yeh we are sort of puke turn jamming really. I just hate getting owned here and I think we can fold out jx and 10x here v often shoving turn. I would bet the flop bigger though just to set the turn jam up. $220 flop bet and shove turn I think. We ofcourse run into some sets and top 2 sometimes but have outs and I think given the passive action pre jx and 10x hands are going to be more in villains range than qq jj tt. Thats my 2 cents but perhaps people don't agree.
