I don't really like a shove here unless you have a strong read. I don't see many fish lead out on a blank turn like this when they're trying to get to show down. I feel like this bet either is a draw, but more likely a made hand that beats you. I would call turn and call river, or bet river if he checks through.

Villain was fishy 29/17 over 35 hands.

Do you ever bluff the river here, or is it an easy check back?

I'm not a heads up player but I'm not a fan of the 3-bet. Turn is probably a c/c or bet smaller, but river is definitely c/f.

25NL Rush. I've only got about 24 hands on villain but he seems reggish. I never know when to c/c or b/f river.

What did i do wrong??

Against winning regular, no history no stats, only looked him up at PTR.




Hand was so strange, would he just call my flop re-raise with overpair when there is a flush draw there? And if he have like AdKd, would he not just come over the top?
So when he calls my re-raise and checks the turn i can't put him on anything.

AdAx?

dunno, but it doesnt really matter that much, you do have to get it in, imo

You made a weak bets on the flop and turn that are going to induce a raise from some aggresive villains. There's a lot of hands he can have that will call big bets, so I'd fire big, 3/4 pot at least on both streets. Then you called the turn and folded on the river. The river card actually helped you a bit because it's very unlikely Qx raises the turn, and you catch up vs. K4/K7.

Just bet bigger and normally fold to a turn raise in that spot.

Villain is 23/10 after 31 hands; AF 0.

My only question here is should I have pushed on the flop rather than the turn? I felt there was a good chance he was holding two smaller clubs judging by the BB check.



Villain (same as previous hand) is 17/9 after 92 hands; AF 1.

I had been relatively active in the last ten to twenty hands--very tight table and I was 3-4betting frequently, showing trash hands sometimes after winning the pot uncontested.

The A here is unfortunate for me. On many of the flops in the last 20-30 hands, I had .25 to .5 bet the pot and won them uncontested. Again, I showed some of these hands where I had nothing to build up an image. I check here, however, fearing a possible c/r that would force me off the hand, especially considering my aggressive behavior.

Turn: ($0.32, 2 players) 5
BB bets $0.24, Hero calls $0.24

After what happened on the first hand of this post, the second diamond led me to believe that the villain was either on the draw or still had top pair with the A and was trying to get money in after a failed c/r on the flop. I called with the intention of folding the river to a diamond and another sizeable bet.

River: ($0.80, 2 players) Q
BB bets $0.05, Hero calls $0.05

This card doesn't hurt me as its not a diamond and the villain takes most of his 60 second extra time to put in the minimum bet. I call fearing a c/r.


I'm sure my thinking process is entirely crapped up because I go back and forth on my decisions as to what he might have... it's good for me that I actually took the time to think this hand through, but what should I have changed? I'd appreciate any input.

But 3 way acceptable if no flushdraw out and pretty much dry?

you misplayed this hand beginning to end

raise pf, please (openlimping in co is terribad)

as played bet 2/3 psb on flop (makes it harder for villain to raise randomly as a bluff or to call with gutshots to the wheel, while costing you just a fraction more and increasing your fold equity. Note since you limped, it is a lot harder to convincingly rep the ace)

as played call turn (your equity just plummeted, and you have no idea where you stand. villain could have any 2cards here like Ace-rag, small 2pair, a wheel. Not raising pf you allowed him to see the flop for free and without getting much info)

note: to assume he has 2clubs in his hand is wishful thinking and flawed logic. He would check 80% of hands there or more given he's 23/10/0. And then do you think it so likely he is semibluffing 2small clubs on the ace high board with an AF of 0? small sample size for the read, but the info available doesnt point towards a semibluff at all.

bet the flop... as played, once again you are calling in the dark not knowing where you stand

your post shows quite a bit of results oriented thinking

note: showing random bluffs to supposedly build an image is counterproductive if you will misplay your hands so and don't know how to exploit said image

Villain is 50/20 after 11 hands... both of us have been pretty active at the table over the 2 orbits at the table but neither of us have gone to showdown.

how much should i bet on the river

1st hand on table 0 reads on villain. i know he's one tabling, american, and limped MP

vs a 23/11 over 35. Just line check. 4bet and flop bet sizing ?

With it being the first hand at the table and it seems to be a fishy player due to his open limp. I think he calls a bet anywhere between 5 to 6 dollars.

Two options
4-bet smaller to induce (1.50). What sucks about this we are giving him the price to flat but or range is super strong so if he does make the flat call. We can put out a c bet of 1.50ish and way more than enough to show profit. Plus he might shove on a flop this dry with smaller pair as his bluff range. Would rather have position for this option.

4-bet bigger to make a slightly bigger pot size shove on the flop or a good c/r stack.

I think its reasonably fine. I mean villain could just as easily have AQ/KQ here instead of QQ. He also some % of the time could have JJ/TT. Its BvB which in a lot of cases sets up an aggro dynamic even without notable history.

Obv you could 4b smaller to induce but I am ok with the sizing...just realize that once you get some much of your stack in pre that you basically are never folding post as villain will always be willing to stack off with worse.

Not many hands on villain but he definitely isn't a nit or tag. Can I fold to a minraise on the turn? Once I call I assume there's no way villain is folding a worse full house so I'm shoving for value. How would you play this differently?

Villain is very straight forward this far into the session. Only 50 hand or so and he is 19/13 with 0 3bet.

Question is on the river. Sizing in general but should I shove here?

Should i double barrel the turn? Is a check too obvious

I think the check is fine. The villian has shown complete aggression through out the hand and you have given him rope to hang himself. You could double barrel and hope he comes over the top again. I think there are merits to both plays. But it will come down to your image and how you play other made hands or air in the future. Are you playing a balanced or polarized range here. Either play I think is +EV.

31/12 4% 3bet .7aggro over 127 hands. Due to low aggro should i have gotten away from this on turn reraise?
