PokerStars Zoom No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) - Poker Hand Converter from http://www.pokerconverter.com

saw flop

Button ($55.97)
Hero (SB) ($50.25)
BB ($85.43)
UTG ($19.47)
UTG+1 ($24.64)
MP1 ($43.75)
MP2 ($61.84)
MP3 ($101.74)
CO ($127.04)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K, A
3 folds, MP2 bets $1.50, 1 fold, CO calls $1.50, Button calls $1.50, HERO??

mp1= unknown but hes hidden + raise sizing + stack sizing makes me assume somewhat of a reg

co= 25/18, 4.7% 3bet, 73% fold vs 3bet, 50% fold vs flop cbet, all over 968 hands

btn= 14/11, 3.5% 3bet, 64% fold vs 3bet, 50% fold vs flop cbet, all over 932 hands


me= 15/13, 4% 3bet(not a big squeezer)

Basically im conflicted in terms of playing this hand from preflop to postflop tbh. If we 3bet this preflop i dont really see much value tbh(lol nitring) & i think my hand dont play horrible in multiway pot even oop.



Anyways i squeezed preflop(not sure if calling is better)



Hero raises to $7.50, 2 folds, CO calls $6, 1 fold

Flop: ($18.50) 2, 9, 6 (2 players)

1. c/f

2. bet small to betup 3streets considering we have backdoor equity + could balance by playing overpairs similarly.

3. 50-66.6% pot otf which is more std & which sets up a shove ott, n shove on pretty much on any A-k or diamond.







feedback appreciated

I choose option 3 and I also jam on some other cards. I also think squeezing maxes value with your hand because 50NL regs do not lay down AQos pre and they will just give you the pot whenever you both miss.

I like the squeeze pre, then bet $10-12. OTT Shove any diamond/clubs/A-K

Squeeze looks good, I thin is better than flatting.

I like option 3, betting big, I find it hard to see him hitting that flop with his range, which I put at JJ/AQ

Def a no brainer squeeze. I prefer 3rd option altho 2nd might well just as well. Fold to his raise.

Definitely a squeeze pre, and I likely go with Option 3 unless I've got some sort of weird dynamic or better reads, in which case I'd go with Option 1.

And yeah, fold to his raise, even after making that very small c/bet.

Interesting how so many people want to cbet. I kinda wanted to give up but I guess that's not so good. Just feels like CO is never folding here, I understand why we cbet though.

Same here. I get it like in theory but in reality dont see how we make money when I wouldnt expect to get any folds.

I guess I am the same with 3bet and 4bet sizing as I see and understand why we go smaller than we may normally do which is fine when value betting because we dont get many folds with the smaller sizing but I am finding if I am bluffing people play straight forward against larger bets. Just to note im not really worried about getting exploited this way because I never get a ton of hands on people.

Btw, if you do option 3, it's bet/call, not bet/fold.
