fold the T7s pre unless villain has really high f23bet and and f2ccbet in 3bet pot. we don't really no much about him so whatever just fold it's neutral EV. i dont think the flop is a mandatory cbet either but it's fine. i would bet larger on flop i think we called by so many overcards/draws and we wanna charge their equity or make them fold it.

mad lol at folding 87s when folded to us in CO. fold riv tho our hand only beats total air, 67 got there, he's not going to bluff into two ppl in a strange spot etc.

I'm going to get yelled at for leaving this information out but in the 87 hand the SB was playing a 50/7 vp.

As for the 107s hand I will admit I had a bit of a fancy player syndrome going on because I knew I would be sending the hands elsewhere for review. I would also not 3-bet that hand after I had seen him flat a 3 bet because now I know there is a pretty decent chance I'm going to have to play it post flop. Up until that point he was just folding. But that brings me to another question.

Seeing how there is a pretty fishy dude in the bb is it worth 3 betting premiums now for value if I think theres a good chance he is going to be flatting or is keeping the fish in the hand better?

The fish in question was the "I'll call 3 streets with middle pair even if your betting pot"type fish.

Yeah, repopping T7s is getting seriously out of hand, even if the guy folds regularly to 3-bets pre. That's just a huge range for you, which is going to force him to adjust because it's so obvious you're exploiting him. And while you're calling range may be wider with a weak BB, 3-betting gets the BB to fold most of the time even if he's weak, so that's not really an argument for reraising.

As for raising 78o from the CO 6-handed with weak players behind, I've got no problem with that.

Flatting is a much bigger risk because you're inviting the fish in, which means you have an extra hand to dodge. Even with a premium pair, your chances of winning drastically drop with more players involved. Not only that, but 3-betting gives the fish a chance to make a bigger mistake. You really think a fish who calls three PSBs with middle pair is folding a hand like KJo to a 3-bet? Most of the time, those types are constitutionally incapable of folding any paint cards, so charge them for it and hope they wake up with something pretty. When they do have something they can't fold, you're probably going to stack them.

Just got home from a 1/2 poker session at a local charity room. I got into a spot that I am never comfortable with and need some advice!

I am SB with A9ss(sitting on ~400). We get 3 limpers and I decide to complete. I am not comfortable raising to 12-15 when I know I will get called in at least two places(mistake 1?). BB who is sitting on about 160 bumps it up to 12. There are two callers(one sitting on $250) and so I decide to see a flop.

Flop: Ks 10s 8x. I check and BB bets $20. EP folds and then MP shoves for $39, which closes raises. My thought here is that BB is never folding for another $19 and decide to call. Is this correct?

I call and BB actually tries to raise. Dealer reminds him that he can not raise and is forced to call.

Turn: 7x. Pretty nice card giving me an open-ender along with my NFD. However, this is where I am really lost. I have a feeling BB is just going to shove all his hands whenever I check to him since he tried 3betting turn. However, shoving myself seems pretty gross as well since I only have a draw and am almost certain BB is calling with all his pairs or better. Am I just getting it in and hoping to spike a spade, 6 or J? Or do I just check fold turn?

How the gently caress do I play these types of hands where I have a great draw but action is closed due to short stack shoving?

Looks like you are getting 130:39 odds, 3.33:1. So with the immediate odds you need 23% equity, and you have to count that with just 1 card to come since he should jam turn almost always. You also have some implied odds though, so it seems like its a call on the flop, but it is kinda thin. If the betting was still open, you would have to fold.

Yeah, if shorty had an extra buck im folding every time. The turn is what gets me. I add an additional 6 outs, but BB doesn't have enough chips to get to river without committing his whole stack. Is the correct play to just check/fold?

It is what I did. River bricked and I would have lost. For some reason it is still bothering me. I am not sure why since I know he is never calling with worse if I shove and I am only folding out maybe 8's and weak 10's. On top of that, I can pretty much throw out 8s because I can't think of many holdings with an 8 that he is raising pre from the BB.

At least I am too a point where I am not thinking results oriented? Old me would have patted myself on the back and forgot about the hand by now.

Why even bother posting that? That's being results oriented at least to a degree. The moment you attribute literally 0 significance to what the river card "would have been", regardless of whether it's good or bad for the decision you made, the better off you'll be.

Shoving and trying to fold out better shouldn't matter too much because you're losing to the all-in player when you miss anyways, at least most of the time.

Winning/losing doesn't bother me in this. I just don't have much experience in these types of situations. I was mainly trying to convey a reason as to why I am harping on the hand so much. Which I do think is a significant improvement to where I was a year ago or so. I would only think about hands where I lost a huge pot or didn't get value when I had the deck crushed.

Short stack had reloaded a couple times and was really gambling his draws. I actually think I am ahead of him a decent amount of the time. Especially since I stacked him earlier and he has been visibly tilting. He has played every hand I have been involved in since I stacked him.

On the turn is is purely a pokerstove + pot odds problem. Figure out the odds you need, estimate his range, put in the board on pokerstove and see if you have enough equity to call. Don't forget to put the 3rd player in on stove as well, it should change the equities a little.

But you haven't put anything in the pot and have yet to call the initial raise..? Am i wrong here thinking you can do whatever and the BB is the only one with his hands tied to calling the all in raise if you call it??? What kind of crazy game is this???

I think calling in this specific spot is great since he can't raise, but I wouldn't dismiss shoving if the short stack jammed 2x here.

Edit: "He" meaning original raiser. Apparently it's not so obvious that hero CAN raise.

You know I am not really your father.





The rule is betting is not considered re-open if a guy who goes all-in does not have a full-raise. That does not exclude Hero from jamming flop here if he so choose, since the rule only applies to the original opener, who cannot "reraise" since essentially the other players are just calling.

Hero is free to reraise against the openers bet.

At this room, once someone is all in for less than legal raise all action is closed. Even if you are not original bettor. That's how it is at a lot of the charity rooms here. Figured it was a live thing?

I'm trying to determine where I screwed up the worst. I'm a sucker for calling speculative hands out of the blinds so folding pre-flop is probably a legit option, but I couldn't help it. The button clicked itself.

Leading the turn seems like a good option but with UTG+1 playing mostly fit/fold and c-betting, a big ace is probably a good portion of his range. Turn check I don't mind. Now I'm reasonably sure I'm ahead of UTG+1 on the river so I lead out. I'm pretty surprised at CO's raise. Unless he has the same hand as me or pocket 8s, I can't see him checking the turn behind. A slowplayed boat probably would have 3bet pre.

-UTG+1 was super nitty and playing at least 6 tables, like 13/10 over 2-3k hands.

-CO was running about 45/19 over ~250 hands. I didn't see him get out of hand really in the previous hour or so but he was bleeding his stack away pretty consistently with odd holdings like Q3s.

1.) At every charity room I have encountered the situation(2 or 3?), action is closed for the round. Action opens back up on the flop allowing other players to bet. Even if he shoved UTG for $3, nobody else can re-raise. Which actually makes the rule sound even more ridiculous. However, players are terrible at these charity rooms so I guess i'll live with it.

I could be wrong. Maybe people who have not acted yet are able to raise(I.E. in my example, UTG+1 could raise). Haven't seen that happen. But I definitely know that in my case since I had the option and checked, I am unable to raise.

2.) Action is open for the rest of the table because there was no illegal raise.

This hand looks OK, probably bet a little more on the river because an ace is calling anyways. I would fold to the raise on the river, CO is probably silly enough to check back 5x on the turn, he has lots of them in his preflop range and is calling them all on the flop (unlike a tighter opponent). It should be a rare occasion that you get raised here, but I would expect people to bluff here almost never.

Yeah, a bluff just isn't really credible here, which means if the guy isn't a complete moron, he's not jamming unless he's really got it. His preflop range is huge, and this looks like a value shove hoping one of you will be skeptical that he really has a hand trashy enough on this turn and river, but he will have it basically all the time unless the guy is a complete spewtard. If he were going to fire at weakness, he should have done it on the turn. Waking up and bluffing the river after a bet and a call is a terrible idea. He's got at least a five almost all the time, and probably has a wonky boat pretty regularly.

Aug 15, 2005

I think I'm most annoyed at my flop call being as a high ace is a pretty large portion of UTG+1's range. A suited ace with a fish in a multiway pot I could talk myself into PF, but I realize it's pretty marginal either way. Turn and river I'm ok with but yeah, betting a little would be better value.

Thanks.

UTG is 16/16 tag, seems a little on the nitty side.

I am really not comfortable at playing deep and probably should have rat hole'ed out my double up, having said that should I have just folded turn here? I know its a flopped set and getting it in on the flop is usually the answer but I have a hard time believing I'm being bluffed by the raise on the flop considering how wet the board is. Pretty sure he has all 16 combos of AK.

Also 3 combos of qq but also 3 of 1010 we beat which I think cancel each other out, but I'm not even sure he raises those here.

When he flats pre, TT is more likely then QQ is more likely then AK; if he's not aggro enough to get it in pre with AK, then why 3bet JJ? I think a flat pre is fine. Rest of it seems all right without the read that villain is aggro, but I would call the river; I believe you have odds if he bets TT, QQ, AK, but not if KK is included; but I don't think we can assume he plays it so aggressively.

We can 3bet JJ with the intention of folding to a 4bet np. He's going to call often. I'm also snapfolding river he can have AK no problem and hes probably not betting again with TT or QQ.

What is he flatting with that we're really going happy about? The worst he flats is probably JTs; a nit UTG getting 3bet is probably not calling with worse pairs except for maybe TT, and he probably isn't calling with 9Ts or A5s type hands. So we're bloating the pot, oop, against a range we're probably at best coinflipping with, and if he does actually have a hand we could win a big pot against, he's going to 4bet and we're going to have to fold. JJ seems more to be the top of our flatting range, not part of our 3betting range.

He's a 16/16, and he's UTG. Does he even open 78s or KJs? He has to be opening 10% to get those in his range (22+,ATs+,KJs+,QJs,JTs,T9s,98s,87s,AKo), and then be flatting with almost all of it.. Maybe he does but I doubt it.

Why is it difficult to win when we flat out of position? Are we never flatting out of position then?

FWIW I think initiative is kinda retarded, so we might be coming from different perspectives.

How do we win the pot? We flop an overpair and.. ch/c? turn blanks and either goes ch/ch or ch/c and hope we get to showdown without any overcards. Or flop a set. When we 3b we can get a more solid idea of his range and we have a lot of different options on different boards. Basically same idea behind isolating a limp I guess, just gives us more/better ways to win the pot.

I mean, if you're arguing for always 3betting pre, okay. If not, you're going to have a flatting range, and this is a hand that should be in it.
