Anyway, draws and backdoors are not as valuable shallow as they are deeper. Reasoning is simple: you won't get to play multiple streets. Usually you are done after 1/2 streets. Therefore you will underrealize your equity and it will cost you a lot.
Maybe even 3b all-in preflop might work fine, if he was really aggressive and capable of folding mediocre hands.
no stats sadly, but i really should do that, played professionally over a decade ago (i know based of this hh how absurd that sounds lol, games gotten harder) and wanted to just play it casually without a hud or db but now thinking that's a fools errand if even in a $10 spin I find myself uncomfortable at times vs known buttonclickers
everything you said made sense and appreciate the insight, while i'm beating spins for now, it's very much in the variance range where i could be punting and getting lucky and definitely need to make better adjustments (primarily played 300bb deep back in the day so got a lot of bad habits to break)
I wouldn't want to 3! pre since he'd fold out the worse hands and call any face card so it'd be a flip at best for me and it'd at least like to wait until i have an ace to do that to someone able to stack off so light preflop
looking at the equities now of facing a top 60% hand (figured he'd play any Kx+ this way, I'm still behind such a wide range on the flop with only 32% equity, for some reason i thought the turn really helped me but only barely, now just 35% against a combo of basically atc
just something about this hand in particular really bothered me for some reason, i think a lot of it was i unconsciously did something stupid on the flop and then when i thought it got rewarded on the turn i found myself in a horrible spot and forced to fold - gave me a lot to think about
thanks for all the input guys, deeply appreciated, you got this dinosaur thinking clearly again
