==================

Villain was a fish, like 36/6 over 80 hands. Bet turn? Call river? After he donked then called the flop raise, I was pretty sure he either had some piece of the flop or a draw, and just wasn't folding. I checked the turn to try to get to showdown cheap.

Hi everyone

Just a noob and thought I'd start posting here for some tips and advice on my actions as I learn.

Villain: LAG (50/40/7)
Action: I C/R the flop for value as this villain cbets 100% of his range and happy to take it down on the flop. Should I barrel the Ace turn? I checked for value / pot control, to keep his range wide, not be bluffed off the hand and fully intending to Ch/Call this river now.

Villain relatively unknown. Over a small sample (~40 hands) was 30/15 and this is the first time I'd seen him 3-bet. Played ok or river fold?

^ WP.

Make a note on his weird bet sizing.

What's an acceptable win-rate from the SB and BB?

Over the last 30k hands I have tried to plug my loses on these two positions, my win-rate from the SB is -30bb/100 and the BB is -22/100.

Any thoughts? Will these WR be sustainable?

I don't like your flop play here, I think you may be overplaying. The board is wet, its mw and your c/r is very unlikely to work, there are many hands that would feel from a co open and a caller.

After the turn went cc, I would stabbed the river, you may have gotten looked up after what happened on the turn. You may have missed some value here.

Thanks. It does seem pretty crazy doing this multi way now I look back on it. I see your point about betting the river to be called light - as my line does look weak. I checked the river in the end to induce/bluff catch......

Hand 1)

Bluffing paired board.........Unknown villain but his line seems pretty weak to me. When he checks the river I'm pretty sure he's folding when I bet.......

Am I overplaying my hand by triple barreling here vs an unknown? When called twice it narrows his range considerably right? I half pot to extract from 2nd pair and QT combo's........

PS.... I'm a noob just learning the game so sorry if some of this seems basic.....

Hand 1 - you need to think what your perceived range is, youve opened UTG. And now you are c/r on a 6T6r flop. Do you think your perceived UTG range is likely to hit? C/r ing on paired, monotone and dry flops (A73r) is ok against passive fish, but it's unlikely to work against competent regs, you have to remember you are rep a very tight range, and these boards are the usual suspects for a bluff c/r. Unless you hit.

Good play on the turn, a k is perfect to DB off, and when the river is a brick you need to bet here too. Well played.


Hand 2 - as played. Be careful against a tight caller

Thanks whatdfeck, appreciate your insights.

How much should we raise on this spot to avoid flush draws being profitable? (asuming im calling 100% of the time the flush draw completes and he shoves to me)

Thanks!

You're asking yourself the wrong question. You currently have the nuts, so your question should be what is the maximum bet size that I think villain will call.

In any event, it depends on the fish. How often does he limp? If he limps broadways, he probably has 2-pair - just shove and stack him. If he doesn't limp often, then he probably has a flush draw. Bet pot and fold if the flush draw completes on the river and he shoves into you.

I'm not sure why you would call a shove if a club comes on the river. A tiny-bet/call, tiny-bet/call, donk shove line when the draw completes on the river is pretty much always the draw getting there and never a bluff at these stakes. If this turns out to be the 2% of time when we get bluffed, then good for him.

small spot here preflop, when can you call here oop to setmine ? how deep do you need to be ?

UTG calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1, BTN raises to $3.50, fold, fold, fold, Hero ?

Vs a reg, the limper is a fish.
I guess he should be willing to keep the fish in so that makes him 3bet weaker right ?
what do you think ?

You're definitely deep enough, it's less than 5% of the effective stack.
But if it's a Reg and you're OOP I doubt you have the implied odds when he could be doing this with a weak range (being on the BTN). He would have to be pretty aggro post flop and DB a high frequency.

I'd be more inclined to flat this deep if in position and the REG was opening from earlier position.

Just IMO.

Couple of other quick thoughts I consider.....
-If I'm the reg and you flat my 3B oop - I'm pretty sure I know what you are doing and proceeding more cautiously post flop even if I am quite aggro as a default.

What do you think of this fold?

^I'd fold that pre. I'm not limping behind or limp/calling. I'd rarely open that hand from CO as well. Easy fold as played though IMO.

vs fishy 47/14

I would bet 2/3 to 3/4 pot on both flop and turn and shove the rest on the river.

Otherwise, nice hand.

Why do you 3b pre?

Obv call more than 200Bbs deep. And as you are deep he is going to 3b you wider,however he will not flat AA to keep the fish in,he wants your 200BBs

AJ flop is fine/std. Turn take a look at your bet sizing - whose line is weak? ;p Bet like 2$ and give up river as eseentialy you are trying to get him of a Tx which is not happening. yup you made him fold this time,but srsly you had the best hand.

KQ is fine vs uknwon,people call way too much

Sizing looks fine to me. The fish has less than a 1/2 psb on the river.

bigger better
