Do you always go down to 34s in this spot? With only 1 limper it's kind of hard to build up any kind of pot to make up for your implied odds. Case in point - you have a FH and there's only 7BB in the pot...

I see your point (and kinda agree) but it's 1% of my stack and they are sooted so it can not be THAT bad.

I've been playing suited connectors more often from the SB lately but I don't go down that low. I go down to about 78s - 9Ts in spots like these. Those hands are bit more versatile than 34s because you can flop top pair and usually bet your hand against just 1 limper + the big blind.

I agree with Bradley with only one limper its always going to be hard to build the Pot.

As played you need to bet that flop.
On the river I think u get more value out of a n Ace/Missed flush by checking. I doubt either calls your bet and you only get raised by a 6.

My line would be check/call.

Preflop is a little thin but not bad. You can bet the flop but I like a check w/ a dry board and few players. Turn is good. Check call river.

I would lay it down PF.
Bet flop
Bet turn
Check/Call River

i honestly don't think there is that big of a difference between 78s and 34s to fold one for 25 chips and call the other.
apart from that, i bet flop, turn and check/call river too.

I personally also prefer to fold 43s pf against only 1 limper in SB, but I think also, it's o.k. to do it. I'm not such a good postflop, that's my personal reasoning, but basical completing seems o.k.

As played, it's fine,
but the river, unless recommended here should be valuebetted here. It's hard to imagine how any kind of 6 should be in villains hand. So bet it and get paid of by a Top-Pair. I think a valuebet of 1/2-2/3 Potsize seems best here.

O.K., it's nasty to get reraised at the river, but it will only happens seldom and a normal can still be easily get called without risking the tournament and will also happen often enough at the 27s by Top-Pair-any-Kind-Of-Kicker, so GET your value.

preflop looks fine. co has a full stack and bb has 3K chips so at least if you hit a monster you have the possibility of winning some chips. if co had 1000 and bb had 900 then i probably just fold preflop.

i like flop check and turn bet.

on the river, i lead about just under half pot and hope villian has an ace.

I wouldn't complete this pre-flop with only 1 caller, but I don't think it's horrible given the stacks involved.

I check flop, lead turn, bet river to get value from a weak ace.

betting flop would be alright, but so is checking. turn is good. preflop is thin but ok, imo.

I like flop and turn but I would b/f or even b/c river depending on the guy, your hand is too good to c/c and not very many guys are betting the river with a bare ace, or bluffing on such a scary board.

To everyone saying check/call the river... you're essentially saying villain bets the river with a wider range than he calls a bet with, which I think is way off on this board. I think there are a ton of hands, 44-77 (excluding 66 obv), Ax, etc. that would either call a bet or check behind.

He most likely has an ace here. The BB would've led out on the flop with a six, especially with all the weakness showing. Good bet on the turn to get an ace to call, and now follow it up with a 200 bet here. he'll probably call with any ace looking to tie with your "apparent" ace.

Bet the flop? Yeah I probably would've since the blinds are rising and the pots worth winning right now. But I'm not saying thats the very best play.

Playing this hand is a little loose before the flop, but if the BB is passive i think its fine.

I feel pretty strongly about betting this flop to build a pot given that the majority of people in this thread wouldn't put you on having a 3. The best chance for getting a big pot is if the CO has a mid/small pocket pair.

Looking at it again, Wiggs is right. Betting the river does look good.

Vilain checked behind and showed A7o, FWIW.

My two cents are that you are beat like 1% of the time here. 6 bets the flop and if it doesnt it almost certainly folds to the ace on the turn, so you really only lose to quad 6s, or some funky limped AA. B/C>>>C/R>>>C/C>>>B/F>>>C/F FWIW.
