Seems good to me. You had the nuts on the flop and set it up for an easy river shove.

Totally standard +1.
But I wouldn't be suprised. He shows up a 3 or a flush He's the 70/10.

silly for him to bluff like this so folding is fine

you can bet turn bigger .33, but otherwise wp

raise flop, otherwise fine

bet turn bigger

close, probably a fold. he can still have boats.

flat

polarized 3betting range

played fine

villain is not paying attention to your tight image, he is just playing his hand 90% of the time

halfpot or smaller on the turn, absolutely no reason to jam

shoving is fine

you can call the first time around, he's only valuebetting Qx

bet flop

obv raise turn

.60 pre, wp

good flop lead

bet turn bigger

river is fine

bet smaller on flop if you're bet/folding

fine

TYVM.

Villain is 36/7 over 25 hands

Not many reads on villain here... std?

thats a tough one but i think given his betsizing and the extremely dry flop there arent many hands that he could bluff with for three streets (or valuebet that you beat except for Kj and KT) just trust your gut feeling in these spots. i think i prefer a fold tho

If you decide to give his donkbet respect, it would be optimal to fold right from the flop. If you decide to call the flop i don't see how you find a fold later on, since turn and river are pretty much bricks.
The point is readless you can't give a random donkbet that much respect. Oftentimes donkbets beat TPGK on dry boards, but in this case i would call him down, since he may do it with a SD, a worse TP, a medium pocket or a really crappy hand. Getting the information is nice to get a better feel for his future donkbetting range/checking range.

MP is 55/12 and CO is 15/12

How is my river line?

I think you played it really well, but im unsure if i don't call here, since we are getting good odds and the likelihood someones bluffing is still there. Also i would assume a tag would raise alot of turns with trips, so it looks kind of suspicious.
If CO is the kind of 15/12 who doesn't make moves and likes to slowplay though, yeah fold.

I dont really see how this player can get to the river with a bluff and I would expect him to just take a showdown with Ax diamonds and small pairs. Having said that I would expect him to iso raise most of his Kx preflop. Meh I'm ok check folding I guess

I would not be surprised to see Ax, realizing he can't win the hand and thus bluffing. Kx, small pockets make no sense indeed and the diamonds dont matter much. Maybe he is even vbetting a 3, you just can't know without looking him up from time to time. I would feel at least uncomfortable letting him get away with this line.

How many hands do you have on him? Any further infos on him?

Is this standard vs a short stack? He could shove 9x or FD. Only 31 hands on villain with stats 30 / 7 / afq: 26% / af: 2.0

I dont know why you would jam the turn. Ace is pretty much the worst card for you. If he is floating you on the flop, he is floating with an ace. Why not check it down and see what he does. If he flopped a set you are getting it in anyway. Its like you are way ahead or way behind so I wouldnt put more money in if I dont have to after ace hits.

How is my 4bet sizing? Just trying to get a feel to what I should be four betting to pre...

If the result is that you fold otf having 2nd pair getting almost 3:1, rather 4b shove pre (vs his stacksize).

Yea that probably wasnt a good examople to post.

With 100bbs stack sizes?

If he 5bet shoves anything better -what is safe to assume readless- you have his calling range crushed. With 100BB this would be a really nice 4b size vs a guy who doesnt fold to 4bets.
This way you have build quite a big pot early in the hand having position on him plus you have enough room to get away from your hand in terrible postflop situations like the one you just posted.

NL2 FR table which got down to 6handed. This is a funky hand I think it was a really bad play. Villain on 36 hands had a 37/29 and 8.3 on TOT3b. I really didn't give him credit on the check raise b/c he is kind of a maniac and I believe it was just FPS I honestly believed he could be doing that with a K/Q7 or broadway with jack I haven't seen people played that crazy with flush draw but given the stats that was a possibility even though at the time I didn't put him on a flush draw... when the flush came on the turn and he check I honestly believed he didn't hit the flush and then the river was a blank and that bet just looked way too bluffy b/c if he did have a flush he would've wanted me to call and if he had trips he would've valued (even though he might not be thinking that) I really took the bet as a complete bluff but he could've easily called there with T8 or some K7s type of hand. = / I'm new so it's kind of hard to get away from aces but i really don't know. what do you ppl think about this?

BTN is loose passive w/ high fold to cbet. BB is nit. This is standard right?

Completely readless I would just check/fold turn, I can't see any hands you are getting value from bet/calling this board.

Against most villains, I tend to fold this. The problem is that the board should hit most calling ranges big blind, especially ones that are 3betting 8% or more (again, small sample size), so he often has 2-pair and sometimes a set or a flush.

The obviously weird thing about his line is that he checks the turn after raising the flop. When he pots the river after the turn checks through, I think you are correct that his range is very polarized. I think he either has a flush (which was going for a second check raise on the turn) or a set (that decided that you don't have the flush) or it is a bluff. Two-pair would probably make a more modest bet on this board.

Your sample size is too small to say whether this guy is an aggro donk, but if you have a strong read that he is a maniac post flop (and based upon your comments concerning the flop, it sound like you do), you can call here. I think you are behind most of the time, but you only need to be right 30%.

You might want to start a thread on this one. Give more post-flop reads if you have them.
