hi everybody,

opponent is a not so good player. he is loose passive pre, donks 2/3 of the time and calls down waaay too light. he cbets close to 100% however.

i still thought c/r flop would be too thin, although in hindsight my approach might be a little nitty? i just don't see a lot of value hands he can have.

on the turn i think there is tons of value to be gained because he will call with so many heart draws and since he doesnt raise alot pre, his range is more weighted to big cards and pp's.

on the river i am probably toast?

comments on every street much appreciated!

Dealt to Hero T 9

FLOP ($400) 2 8 9

Hero checks, bets $200, Hero calls $200

TURN ($800) 2 8 9 3

Hero bets $400, calls $400

RIVER ($1,600) 2 8 9 3 9

Hero bets $900, raises to $1,830 (AI)

If he donks 2/3 of the time and cbets 100% then he is not passive...loose/aggressive is more likely, passive players tend to check/call more than they bet or raise.

Oh, and I would prob ck/call the turn rather than lead...

meh.. i don't see what's so bad about c/r flop and getting it in.

*bump*

my hands always die, are say so trivial?
both flatting flop and donking turn seem debatable, but i am still unsure about that.

I'd ch/c the turn also.
River discision sucks, unless you have a solid read about this villain, I think we should fold.
From villains POV I would play my flush the same.

What should we do with A9 on the river?

raise/fold flop

ur basically never ahead if he shoves over your chk/raise thats the problem,

He mentioned villain was passive pre.

Given his 100% Cbet, i'd c/r this flop for sure.

This board makes villains shove over with a LOT of different combos of OESD/FD/overs. We're usually behind his shoving range, but we are putting so much money in with our c/r I don't think it's sensible to fold after that.

In short: don't c/r flop to fold.

And I like c/c, c/c more than c/r flop. I don't play the hand like that, so hard to comment on the river. Very unlikely you are ahead though, so looks like a fold. Yuk.

well, im not saying my way is the best or anything, i was thinking that to play it other way profitably is very difficult because there is so many bad cards for us and his range is super wide on flop, i dont have a problem to raise like 525 and fold to a shove

I think the way hand was played folding river is crazy

edit: I also think that if you dont know what to do if you get raised you shouldnt be leading.

why no raise on the flop ?

where did i say that i didn't know what to do? on the turn i wanted to lead/fold.

river isn't really a lead, it is more of a follow up bet. do you mean i should be c/c river? could be good, as he will have some whiffed draws i think. still i thought my hand was too good to bluffcatch, maybe i overevaluated it?

then raise/folding the flop is bad because you're turning your hand into 43o when you c/r fold here.

So we're fine with getting it in, imo, if he 3bet shoves over our c/r. Also, OP says that villain cbets like 100% of the time. Even with all the combos I added, that's only 28.5% of his range, so villain is going to bet/fold roughly 70% of the time, which means our initial c/r earns us.. 400ish chips.


And even versus his strongest shove range (which we have 44.7% equity against), it's only -ev by like.. 36 chips (if i'm doing calculations correctly).

as you can see coin flip is your best expectation, Im not surprised why you are BE

yeah.. a coinflip when he shoves, and the fact that when he bets/folds 70% of the time here, you gain 400 chips which is 20% of villain's stack.

and I'm far from BE. but comical that you think that.


Question for you. Villain shoves "22+, A7s+, K9s+, QTs+, JTs, A9o+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo". This is 20.1%. Without stoving and on in game time, what hand are you calling with here versus this shove range?

[c/c c/c is the best line unimproved imo, donking turn is kinda bad coz he can raise w so many hands. As played obv call his jam, I'd jam it in instead of b/c'ing but pot size kinda sux (which is also a problem OP caused fwiw)

no offense, I've read that "info" in this forum in past few days, somebody wrote that you are be @ 6s or smth like that.

I'll give you a hint: you never need to be ahead 50%+ for getting it in @ any street in a HUSNG.

no need getting personal here imo. if his advice is based on solid assumptions, and borderline always tries to support his arguments with logic, i don't care which level he plays.

just one problem with your assumptions borderline: he isn't opening 100%, more like 1/3 of his hands.

meh, maybe my lead on the turn, that seemed good at the time i made it, was actually bs, although i still don't know why. do you think my line looks weak, jspazz? imo i will lead alot of value hands as he will check back alot of his weaker hands. is this turn particularly good to double barrel?

that info is quite false.

Your decision on the flop has a lot to do with how villain plays his hand on future streets...vs someone who plays tough/tricky I might be more inclined to get it in on the flop because my hand is defiantly marginal and most turn/river cards will be tough to play against. But the main thing about the flop decision to get it in vs check/calling is because its clearly a spot where your either a little ahead or way behind..also against the described villain Im not sure he can fold some hands that Id want him to fold in order to fully maximize my fold equity...if hes a station it wont be as effective obv

This hand is nowhere near as difficult as its being made out to be. This is an incredibly standard spot. C/r the flop with the intention of getting it in is absolutely fine with these stack sizes. You have TP on a very drawy flop. He's getting it in plenty wide enough that its a clear +++EV c/r/call.

An alternative line is just to b/b3ai on the flop.

no offense to you either, but if you checkraise/fold flop with top pair a lot when shallow then i think you can be glad if you end up breakeven
