I've been commenting on hands and haven't posted any in a while. I'd like to say hello to all you micro stake grinders out there.

I have huge respect for you guys as I'm having a hard time even beating 2NL... anyone who's looking to improve their game I tip my hat to you.

If you're crushing - please respond to this hand and help me understand where I made a mistake.

Thank you



Should I have 5-bet pre-flop against the CO? Once we bet turn are we pretty much stuck and priced in on a call?

I think checking turn is better, and probably even just x/f-ing. V has cold 4bet an UTG open and MP 3bet so should be very strong (KK+, AKs at loosest I'd say for 2NL). QQ is a bluffcatcher in this spot and you probably don't have a valuebet on any street with an A high flop.

Fold preflop.
Also, I don't think bluffing turn is a good idea, since I don't expect people at 2NL to fold KK here.
As played, he has AA/AK here 99% of the time.

Fold pre. Villain is making a largish 4bet vs someone 3betting vs UTG. You're a dog vs his range. KK+, AK, and AK is probably just flatting your 3bet a good amount of the time.

pre is kinda gross but I would just sigh and fold

x/f turn as well we will have AK here at some freq as well as AA

Do you have stats on the opponent? I'd fold pre if he's nitty or TAG, but if he's a LAG, I'd call his 4-bet and check the flop.

I'd x/f turn and x/f river

rofl at fold pre... what the ****...

This board has definitely gotten nittier in the last couple of weeks, or maybe it just feels that way.

I thought this was crazy too but guessed i was wrong with the number of people concurring.

I shove pre but I'm spewy.

I'm not spewy enough to bet the turn though.

I would most likely shove pre (although I play in a fishier room). AP when calling pre I'd give up on K or A high boards, you could only consider calling one street if you think V is likely to 4bet something like JJ pre in these positions and then bluff it, but that's unlikely so I wouldn't be too sad folding postflop. Never betting in this spot unless I hit a set.

ACR is no joke even 2NL. How many hands do you have in?

Never flatting that huge 4b. Depending on the V I'm mostly just GII pre. X turn.

i generally agree with u a lot but I think we have to fold pre here to the 4bet. 1. villain can't reasonably expect to have enough FE given how strong our range and UTG range is to get a bluff through so the chances that he is 4betting light is near-zero. 2. on the same token, he can really only expect to 4bet AA for value, as even KK will feel hopelessly crushed against a jam from either player. as a result, when an unknown misplays his range in this spot specifically, it's generally gonna be harder for them to be overbluffing than underbluffing. i think balancing a 4bet range in this spot is impossible and BTN should flat his entire range (of JJ+, AK) to this action. i mean yea u can make the argument that people will spaz with JJ here but it's really not that likely and I expect it to be KK+ way too often for us to be good even on a call

I don't think a call pre flop is terrible with 2-1 odds unless its a tight villain who would not 4 bet AK. I don't think a fold is terrible either.

But if you call, you need to completely give up whenever an overcard hits.

Your turn bet is basically a bluff for KK, which is both unlikely to work, and only part of villain's range.

I would fold pre. You're getting cold 4bet after UTG raise and you 3bet from MP. We should go with a good assumption that his range is KK+ AK. If you do want to play it you have to shove pre or fold. Calling OOP here is hoping that the flop doesn't have A or K and he decides to bluff with AK or his air (cold 4bet from CO is basically never air).

As played I try to check it down the whole way - don't see any reason to bet the turn.
