NH imo. I think there is no reason for check that turn.

Fold river?

First hand 3bet is pretty big IP, but if u think he calls wide then its fine. Have to call river. Pot odds far too good

Second hand u can probably lead out half pot or ao on river to gt value from his 9x hands . As played ita prob a fold as that board hits his limp/call range pretty well, and he probably wont value bet a 9 in that spot

Would this be a good spot to check behind? Is it better to CBet this flop OOP than IP? If it is a good spot to check behind, how low of a mid-pair wouldn't you check behind to protect against overcards on turn?

Bet this flop imo, we cant always be scared of overcards, and we are very often in front. When we give up the initiative here a turn bet by V can be a little meh. What is your plan for the hand if you xb here?

I'm not checking because I'm scared of an overcard. I'm checking behind on flop to induce bluffs or lighter calls. If he has a Q checking behind doesn't change much. The value from checking comes from the times they bluff or call light with smaller pocket pairs.

So you are never betting the best hand, to show that you are weak, just to hope that V will try to bluff at it or call you lightly?
I would bet this because some draws and other worse hands will call, and that will give you just as much money as calling their bluffs..

My thinking is that all the hands that we get value from on the flop, we will still get value on the turn. By checking we can get value from villains air hands when he bluffs. Other benefits of checking are you Minimize loss and Pot control. If this isn't a good spot to check behind a SDV hand, what is? SplitSuit has a similar hand example in his book and he says to check behind with JJ on a K54r flop for the same reasons I mentioned.

And this is exactly the reason you should double barrel any non club and any card J or lower. Why would you miss out on value?

Checking is fine aswell, and I understand your reasoning. But i would just bet this flop for value.

If you are checking, which you shouldn't be because he's a fish. Then check JcJx.

Easy bet/bet/check.

If villain was a decent tag would checking be better?

villain 15/10 over 49 hands.
AF, 3b => 0

villain insta shoved. i did not annoy him yet.

I think you can fold this..unless you have a reason to believe villain is tilted from a previous hand. Usually flipping at best here

calling for 92bb. not big enough sample to draw conclusions.
info on whether it's zoom or reg tables would help here.

Well played I think

I meant to ask should I be folding preflop.

Sorry should have clarified. Rfoley calling preflop is fine. Fold flop though.
Callaway I think its well played. Sometimes u can find a fold here vs a tighter player

Hihi guys!

I played that hand earlier and I don't really know how I should have reacted. I'm totally lost when I'm getting min raised.

Villain is 19/18 over 300 hands and folded a ton to 3bet so far so I decided to 3 bet him since I have two blockers.

Pre is good.

Flop is the easiest X ever.

I do not agree on this, why would we check and give free cards to a V we could be easily ahead of atm.

AP call flop, and fold to all turn agression on any or K

Why would you check on the flop w/ top pair + OESD into a 3bet pot ??

I'm leaning towards folding because he's only raising strong hands and I don't think he would 4bet QQ. Are stacks too big to call?
