Raise, an aggro monkey is never checking back a NFD on the turn and will fold a good amount here.

people don't fold flushes lol

ignore this

i call. that's a pretty standard bluff by an aggro player.
and you only need to win 25%+

Villain is OK. Not crazy aggro, thinking player. Was trying to c/r flop.

gd fold imo

Ugh I feel like so many trickier spots like this come up in cash... Good practice though. In SNG I wouldn't worry at all about getting it in here, but against relatively nitty 50NL player am I still right? We had played for a little while and I was c/ring fairly often, and I felt like he was a bit spewy as he started coming over the top the last couple times, although I folded both times so he may have had it all three. Figured his range could be anywhere form tptk to worse 2-pair to straight or flush draws... But i need a checkup lol

it looks standard to me. + he's only relatively nitty, and there's an aggro dynamic going on.

Villain is typical bad call station.

Standard suckout?

standard yeah, puke river though, still a call in my book

ty. Ugh hating my current ice cold streak

Lamdun, I don't like your turn bet-sizing given your river action.

If villain is reliably aggro I'd tend to bet weak - around half pot - , hoping to bet/3-bet all-in. If he flat calls I'm betting huge on any non- river, and, depending on reads, bet-folding a low and bet-calling a K/Q/J .

Against a passive villain, bet pot on the turn planning to shove any river.

He calls 3bets pretty wide. Was gonna C/J turn. River is like worst card in the deck but obv im not folding.

what are you putting him on when he checks turn and shoves river? surely a high percentage of the time he's got a flush rather then an ace. Do you think it is plausable to get it in on flop? He might stack off with a middle pair like 9s or with flush draw.

Lead turn.

Standard?? bad play by villain?? bad play by me?? play it differently???

losing confidence over the past few days.....

I think he has some flushes, some Ax and some random air that he's spazzing with. thought about jamming on the flop but wanted to get more value out of his random air and think he can maybe fold a FD. River is a very bad card but I think C/F is pretty bad here.

This thread should be getting more love imo.

Third hand, easy fold without reads?

I would make my turn bet closer towards pot. 280?
and I would probably check the river to induce a bluff shove from him for a missed FD..
Turn and river are pretty scary low cards given that he min flop bet. Those usually indicate a donk who wants to take down a 200 pot w/ his absolute garbage w/ a minbet.

yes

I would fold on the river bc it just seems too obvious he has you beat.

From his bet sizing it doesn't really look like he is a donk, but even in case he is you can fold on river without losing really too much and shake it off

fire turn bigger (280/300) to protect/get value.
and i prefer c/c river. but it may be villain dependent.

Is this always a bet/fold? Do we bet the river if he checks?
Does betting the turn change if there is no FD? Do we generally call a river bet if we check behind turn?

Villian is a big donk avg stakes of $9 but that doesn't really mean anything in this instance.
I flop the nuts, well the scary nuts, and need a line check on my bet sizing.

fwiw I think my bet sizing is bad but I'm just too much of a nit to bet smaller on the turn for value and see the river go 4flush.
