iPoker - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: 99.8 BB
Hero (MP): 196 BB
CO: 132.2 BB
BTN: 182.6 BB
SB: 101.6 BB
BB: 114.6 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has K

UTG calls 1 BB, Hero raises to 4 BB, CO calls 4 BB, fold, fold, fold, UTG calls 3 BB

Flop: (13.4 BB, 3 players) 8

UTG checks, Hero bets 7.6 BB, fold, UTG calls 7.6 BB

Turn: (28.6 BB, 2 players) 3

UTG checks, Hero bets 14.2 BB, UTG raises to 71.2 BB, Hero raises to 128.2 BB, UTG calls 17 BB

River: (205 BB, 2 players) 9

UTG shows 2

(Three of a Kind, Twos)
(Pre 18%, Flop 87%, Turn 95%)
Hero shows K

(One Pair, Kings)
(Pre 82%, Flop 13%, Turn 5%)
UTG wins 194.8 BB
Hero wins 40 BB

Maybe just call the Turn? Then if he leads on the river lay it down. These type of hands are eating me alive.

Many thanks!

Ever heard of the Baluga Whale Theorem? It especially applies when when you are blocking both flush draws.

This illustrates a concept I have to remind myself of numerous times in a session. If you raise, what worse hands will call, and which better hands will fold? I think the answer to both in this case is - none. Rarely will a flush draw continue after a bet, raise, and reraise. I think you are left with sets and two pair hands at that point.

in my experience fish love to get it in with draws, I can easily see 45, 56, 67, A4, A5 just taking an "aw **** it" line here. Also most people tend not to slowplay sets on super wet boards so his sudden fistpump shove just looks like his hand somehow improved on this turn and he's ready to gamble for it all.

The limp pre UTG and calling a raise, is very often a small pocket pair or low suited connector that they don't want to open with and face a 3b. In saying that, his check/raise OTT was huge and looks super nutted leaving only 17bb behind. You do block a lot of flush draws he might have, so i think this narrows down his range to a lot more value hands ie. sets and two pairs and maybe bluffs like suited aces and 45 suited

This is one of those annoying spots where you have to fold an overpair.

The x/r is massive on the turn and, as others have said, we block a lot of flush draws with our hand.

I usually just mumble a few explicits and fold.
