Opponent is a 10/4 with a 2.4 AF. When he called on the flop I put him on PP mining for a set. His behavior on the flop only confirmed my suspicions. I didn't think he would call preflop with a flush draw. There was a tiny chance that he had KK but I figured, with that, he would have raised preflop, and with my set on the flop I was good anyway. Right down to the river I put him on a smaller set. Anyone think that's a mistake?

Nice hand sir.

I wouldn't necessarily say that he only calls with PPs from the button, maybe from the blinds but he could be calling with AQ, AJs, KJs, KQ and so on if he's positionally aware.

When he's raising the flop he probably doesn't have KK or AA since he'd most likely 3bet them preflop. He could however have smaller sets, AQ/AK with As or a flush but you have good equity against a made flush already since you'll win if the board pairs.

Don't fold and make it expensive for him to see a turn/river card.

Post in the FR forum.

As the above poster stated your range for him is too small, he has some FD combo's in his button range as well as small PP's

Bigger on the flop, I doubt you can affect his calling range by your bet sizing.

Other than that N/H

sorry he hit his Straight Flush

Mark, thanks for pointing out the part about the equity.

Ziyu, where is the FR forum?

Mark, I just thought of something. You say he could have called my preflop raise with AQ or KQ. But since I had QQ and another Q showed up on the flop, isn't it almost automatic that he does NOT have a Q? Same way as, when a monochrome flop comes up, it's very unlikely that anyone still in the hand has flopped a flush.

10% calling range is like 66+, KQs, QJs, Axs, AK, and AQ. Since he did not 3bet you I do not see him having KK or AA. So a raise on the flop looks like sets, pairs and flush draw, 2 pair, and flush. I think versus his raising range on the flop, you are a head so you can get it in on the flop.

It's good that you think about those things btw.

I thought of it at the time I was playing the hand, but it slipped my mind over the course of the hand analysis discussion here. Your comments brought it to the surface.

In general I'm not afraid of paired flops or monochrome flops because of how rarely they benefit my opponents.
