UTG - 14/12/4/73 (19/26) VPIP/PFR/AF/FCB (691 hands total)
CO - 11/6/2 (82 hands)


I am never 3betting in this spot as UTG will only continue with better really, so it is call/fold. I think my call is ok, but, if anyone thinks different let me know.

OTF - I am only losing to 77/99/AA, and want to start getting money in, especially after CO folds (would have been thinking set if he called) but I didn't know when and how, without scaring him off other hands that weren't an A or worse A's, so I called.

OTT - I was thinking to check raise, but then thought if he has an A, my line looks like a set or A7/A9/AT and he might fold, so I called.

OTR - My plan was to check call but it went check, check.

Am I right for wanting to get more money in on this board vs his range.

What is the best line to take whilst still getting value from worse hands.

What stats would you look at and what would you look for in those stats to know where to start raising and for them to still call with worse. If that makes sense.

Lead river. You're missing value from AJ, AQ which a 14/12 probably checks behind here.

Squeeze pre, 6 handed and your OOP.

3 bet pre to narrow their range and then adjust accordingly, definate 3bet as you're oop and then you have the momentum to cbet rather than check calling down

I understand the lead river opinion, and agree, as I think I could have got a bit more money in, but I am a bit lost as to the 3bet pre idea.

If I 3bet pre, isn't UTG likely to fold all his medium pp's and continue with better, thereby making it harder to take it down when I miss the flop?

Is the intention to try and get UTG to fold and the CO to call, and just CB if I miss and take it down?

If I just call pre, isn't my hand a bit disguised, whilst, also keeping UTG's range at it's widest?

I have no problem with the flat pre for the reasons you mentioned, particularly when it's going to be heads up. In this spot though, there is something to be said for squeezing with your hand, and against these types of players, I'd expect them to fold PF majority of the time (for all the reasons that a good squeeze spot works), but you have the added value of having some decent equity against any calling hands should you go to the flop.
