Villain has been playing loose and generally living up to his name. He's running about 35/25 so I decide to 3-bet. fwiw, on the river the villain has about 6k behind and there is about 14k in the pot. What do we do?

Try using the converter, it helps.


Bet the freaking flop, you 3 jacked it and thats the perfect flop for a cont bet, somewhat co-ordinated, two broadway....it would really have to smack him for the villian to continue here if you bet........

You have position too.....ugg, really need to bet here

Oh yeah I'll use the converter from now on. I thought of betting the flop but my thinking was that he was a calling station and wouldn't fold any pair/draw. I figured this flop often gives him something to donk with so i would keep the pot small. He checks on the turn and I changed my mind...

if I check the flop I don't see much value in betting the turn...I like 3bet pre...bet flop...shove turn (or check behind either is ok)...as it is your turn bet looks suspicious enough that a baby pair will look you up especially if he is a station...river...meh I just call to see what he has....raising sucks cause your line reps absolutely zilch and you wil get looked up light

Just call the river bet to get information about what he raised with and then called your re-raise with. It's so freaking cheap!

yeah i called, he ended up with a king. what ssnyc said makes a lot of sense to me now. tx!

Bet flop.

As played call River.
