blinds are 5/10/20 (20 being live)
Both villain and I have a stack of $3000

We can run it twice at this stake

MP opens for $65
Hero at BT calls $65 with A5hh
SB villan reg and tight player raise to $165

MP calls $165
Hero decide to call $165

Flop As Qh 7h

Villain bet $175 on a $495 pot
MP calls
Hero decide to raise to $550

SB raises to $1200
MP folds

Hero ???

Villain hasn't played a hand in 2 ****ing hours and he is usually very tight.. also we can run it twice so it will affect Hero decision

obv pre you have option to 3b but don’t think it’s necessary 100%


first time around flat flop imo, so hard to find any combos we’re possibly ahead of when we raise them get called or 3 bet

yes I was thinking to 3bet but table was being a little crazy with very loose 4bets/5bets especially from the player in MP who earlier 5bet me for $600 with QTdd vs my KQcc.. I ended up shoving on him since I knew he was trying to make a move like he always ****ing does.. he called my shove for $1500 he ended up double me up.

Pre fine

Flop just call this short. You don't gain anything raising. Unless someone has a worse FD.. but then you still stack them by calling a lot anyway.

When he 3bets you have to compare two options.
1) get it in with 35-45% equity (vs 2pr+ on the lower end, if he has a few worse FD on the higher end)
2) call and fold blank turns, getting it in on flush turns

Option 2 is only best at very specific sizing which glancing over it you don't have here, so you just go with 1) here I'm fairly sure



Running it twice is completely irrelevant to the EV of the decisions in the hand.

Since this is a strategy board we focus primarily on the EV of our decisions.

Thank you this is how I was supposed to play it

Pre I think a raise is good, but as stated before I think it's not needed 100% if the table is getting OOL.

On the flop, I feel you should primarily be flatting. OR raising to GII. The fact you can run it twice means that your chance of getting at least 50% of the pot is pretty high. So when you raise and get 4bet its just a GII spot and see you boys at the river (Twice) lol.

I just flat the PF. I am getting it all in though with the ace and nut FD.

I call flop but if I raise even with those really small sizing I just gii cause too much equity to ever fold turn if you flat and folding sucks... plus fold equity maybe???? But usually they don’t have kjhh or jthh so vs ak+ with no fold equity which is usually your situation probably a fold but too lazy to run the sim.

Preflop:

From a GTO point of view, pre flop can either be a call or a raise depending on how u construct your ranges. To be balanced, u need to select a range of hands u will 3bet for value and to be balanced with a range of hands u would 3bet as bluff.

Personally, I would think A5s is a good candidate as 3bet bluff due to blocker to AK. It is likely to have a decent equity postflop since it is only likely to be dominated by AA and u have lots of playability postflop.

Flop: you absolutely crush this flop here. Raising serve no purpose (unless u have a complete idiot who will call with Ax). Since u have the A, u have a blocker to villain having strong Ax hand. Raising only get strong hands to play assuming villain is competent. As such, I don’t mind calling to keep your range wider since not a lot of cards to follows will be bad for u

As played, there is no way u can get away from this. I would have get this in with TOP pair and nut flush draw. But I won’t be really happy with this.

It’s a tough decision to make and this problem stems from 1) not 3 betting preflop 2) raising flop cbet when you could have just called, making ur range more balanced and unexploitable.

I was at this table thats not how the hand played out you limped CO button raised to 65 straddle 3 bet to 165 you limp called the 3 bet and button called flop aq7hh sb checks you check button bet 175 into 510 sb folds you raise to 550 he made it 1300 and you shoved you ran it twice bricked both he showed AQ or something like that

IMO you should just open pre but as played I would just flat the flop

Whyyoualwayslyin must be a troll account. Has said he/she was at ka1z0ku's table in multiple threads and challenged their story.

Weak sauce.

I would rather 3!>call pre. Mp wont 4! every time, a lot of times he should be calling much more often than 4! especially when you showed you werent afraid in the KQ hand. Once sb 3! I would fold pre even though his 3! was small. As played otf, when the tight sb bets mw do you think hes folding any part of his range here? I think because he wont be bet folding in this spot vs you guys raising is not very good.
