Is my line with aces fine here, or should I play it different pre and on the early streets? I realize the river call is a little iffy, but I just think he has alot of lower sets and two pairs he would be taking this line with aswell. Espacially when the flush draw doesn't hit.

Should I jam on the turn? I'm new here, but I hope for some advice on this one.

9bb preflop at the least

you forgot bluffs when you speculated on villain's river range

I Dont like your 3bet sizing. I would make it at least 10bb. You are giving villain the correct odds to call with practically ATC.

At 2 NL I think sizing up bets works well as players who will call 50% psb will also call 75% psb..

good luck : )

I know your sample isn't huge but I think the larger 3-bet pre, as suggested, might have gotten a fold from villain here.

As played I think you can fold river as a lot completes here. I don't think he turns JJ or better into a bluff, only bluffs are probably heart draws or something like JT that misses Iimo.

Bigger pre. (I love when people 3bet too small and I can call with some marginal hand and crack their overpair. Don’t be that guy. Your setting yourself up for some bad reverse implied odds when beat, and not getting full value when good).

wp post tho. I would be thinking you still have the nuts even on that river . Only 28 hands on V, but his stats are 14/10 so wouldn’t expect him to be too out of line. the only 8 villain should have in his +1 full ring opening range is pocket 8’s, and that hand shouldn’t make it to the river. Pretty suprised to see he’s opening 85s , take a note and move on.

I guess it’s not too crazy for 88 to make it to the river, but that’s 4 combos.

More preflop, bet, shove turn. Don't mess around.

Ty for responses guys. Def going to push up my my 3-bet sizing pre.

Good point, I glossed over the stack sizes.

We can stand to get all the chips in with a more aggressive line here whilst we’re likely ahead.

I think his sizing on the flop is fine. If he made a larger 3 bet I would even go smaller than half pot. Have the board pretty locked down, not afraid of any turn card.

75 BB effective I'm good with 2 streets. To each his own.

is it?

whoops. 4 combos of suited pocket pairs , 6 total. Good catch, forgot about the offsuit ones.

I think it's well-played
