hi guys,
played this hand yesterday in a private 2/4 game in germany:
we got A6hh in the co 300€ deep
utg +1, mp1 and mp2 limp, (they all have between 200-300€)
my first question is, if we want to limp this hand here or if we want to openraise. At the moment i tend to raise these spots to like 24€, because i like winning the pot sometimes preflop or playing against 1 or 2 villians postflop in position.
But i have to say that i dont know if thats the best approach for these situations. Lately i saw myself very often in tought postflop situations for my whole stack after doing this. I think one reason for this is that the opponents in these games are not folding as much as i suggest them to fold. So i end up playing a big part of my range multiway in a big pot. Another reason is the stacksize. I dont know how the stacksize should affect my strategy here. But my feeling is, that i should start limping a big part of my range here and start to get aggressive once i hit a very good flop/turn/river. Ofc. on the one hand I cant win the hand preflop this way and i wont win the hand postflop with a simple cbet in a 2 or 3 way pot. But on the other hand I dont really put myself into tought situations postflop and it should be +ev aswell.
So i would be happy to hear how u guys construct your ranges here, (limping and raising) depending on the villians and the stacksizes.
I decided to raise to 22€ in this spot and mp1 called me. I cover him and he got 220€ before we start the hand.
flop comes 345 with two clubs. He checks and i decide to cbet for 22€. He raises to 60€ now. He is unknown and we play a pretty fishy game with a lot of southener guys, if u know what i mean. So i think he can have some random bluffs here, trying to take down the pot otf. So i decided to go all in for 195€.
So thats one of the tought spots for me postflop i was talking about. I feel pretty unconfortable here. I know showing ai is def. -ev if he is never bluffing this spot and we dont have any foldequity. Folding shouldnt be an option here on the flop to this sizing. Calling seems to be a good option to me aswell. I guess he wont continue his bluffs (if he got some) on the turn there and he will continue his value part most likely. So if he bets the turn and i didnt hit, i got an easy fold.
Really interested in your thoughts here.
If you got any tips for me posting a hand or describing a situation a litte better here I would appreciate that too. This is my first post here
Thx
