Hi all,

Would appreciate comments on my line here.

Advice for all streets welcome

Villain had been at table for only a short while (so no reads/stats) and had raised from SB the previous orbit.

What about call flop? We fold out like all his hands, a spade will come less than 1/4 on turn because there are 3 out on the flop.
But then i am not so sure about turn play.

Anyone raise or fold pre?

I raised flop for value from Ax and any high spade. Too ambitious?

Turn is standard after line on flop imo.

Would of called the river donk if board didn't pair and wasn't a spade. Agree?

Yes I agree crappy river. I was thinking same thing, I would have 3bet preflop. Flatting there leaves us in soo many tough spots on many different flops without initiative. It will be hard to flop any kind of great hand so the times we brick we either c/f flop or bluff with a hand that likely has very little equity against any hand villain could have. And we are rarely going to be wanting to play for stacks with this hand instead of taking a pot control line...I think 3bet or fold pre is good

You could 3b pre if villains opens lightly from SB. I'd never just call, A6o is just too weak for that.

Ugh these spots make me so tilted. Fold though

These BvB spots are always villain dependent. If he's gonna fire multiple streets with air Im cool with 3bing pre with a blocker and tp value. Gotta be careful with TP because his flatting range is frequently Axs that have you crushed. If he's a one n done cbetter I like flatting pre with the plan to float.

It depends on villains type and what villain thinks of you (if he is thinking).

Anyone care to elaborate on why flatting pre is bad? vs unknown it's probskies a little dicey but with some info it seems like a nice hand to play poker with.
