I normally play 5max/6max and have just lately begin to play some HU as well.

We had played ~50 hands with villain. Villain had 3b me two times. First time I folded to his flop cbet and 2nd time flop went chk-chk, I turned a str8 and raised his 1/2pot bet and he folded.

In the beginning of the match he also c/rd my cbet on a 69Thh board and folded to my 3b (I had 29hh). He also c/minraised my cbet on a AQ3r board and folded to my small 3b (had 33 and obv butchered that one due to action on other tbls).

Before the hand in question I had 3b him once to which he folded. Don't have his stats since PT wasn't working properly at the time.


SB/BTN: $76.00
Hero (BB): $173.92

Pre-flop: Hero is BB with AJ
SB/BTN bets $3.00, Hero raises to $9.00, SB/BTN calls $9.00

Flop: ($18.00) AT9 (2 players)
Hero bets $12.00, SB/BTN calls $12.00

Turn: ($42.00) 8 (2 players)
Hero ?

So what's our line here? Villain has $55 behind.

I'd bet 26 on the turn and get it in if he raises. I'm going AI on basically any river. I think shipping is also an option. I think you could go bigger but betting 26 leaves enough to make a shove on the river scarier if the 4th flush card peels off (puts him in some tough spots) and it doesn't have to work that often.

I think a less EV lower variance line is to c/c here and make a decision on the river based on the card/action.

b/c looks good. he'll check back a lot if you try to c/c or c/r so with stack sizes i just wanna get the money in here.

I definitely prefer a bet here to any check line. A bet here insures that somebody stubbourn with a club (as so often is the case) is always going to be making a -EV play.

I would probably bet ~$26 in this spot.

never check

Such a wet board, but coul't he have something likes 99's here with a clubdraw ?

Would he 4bet JJ's+ ? he could have qq's here also with a club. I think either a shove or a c/c

I bet call.
I think it's better betting smthg around 20 on the turn, which makes him fold less often, and is enough to shove river if he just calls.
