As a default I like betting small vs a rec here, simply for value, protection and often a free/cheap SD. Could probably even bet bigger like $2.20-$2.50ish

Turn is usually a fold for me as we didn't improve and this turn hits his range quite well but he bets enticingly small. Still a fold or should we peel one off and hope for a free SD? Are there any cards you'd x/c his bet on?

We're 150 BBs deep so I should maybe have sized it a little bigger. How do you continue if either of the 2 puts in a 4bet? And what do you do with JJ, TT, AQ here?

What to do here now? Similar to my other hand, TT and 88 pulled ahead and I likely can't get three streets anyway. I do need some protection though but getting raised would suck. I also have a BDFD and can probably call most turns after checking back flop.
Sept. 20, 2015 | 10:30 a.m.
Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. The thing is though that a lot of his bluffs have at least one overcard, there's probably 16 combos of AK and some of them have a FD to go along with it, too. And I expect him to check most of them back OTT, realize his equity and deter me from vbetting the river if it comes an unfavorable card. I also don't see how we can save a stack vs KK+ on most runouts by just calling flop.
So all in all, yes, I won't be in great shape if the money goes in here, but protecting vs his high equity hands/bluffs seemed pretty important to me at that point. And don't forget that he could still be a big drooler and show up with random holdings once in a while, too. So I might even get clean value from JJ, Tx sometimes.

Do you just 4b/gii here vs a 1tabler? I strongly thought about it but was a bit scared away by his 3bet sizing which looked sth between reasonable and what a fish would chose with a strong hand. So in the end I decided to just flat in these positions.

Again, kinda unsure what to do here. TT, 99 outflopped me even though he probably doesn't have either often at all. I felt like I should protect/get value from his AK and other broadways as well as FDs which are probably going to check back the turn a lot given his weak sizing. I'll still lose a stack vs KK+ but can't see what I could do about it.

And again lost for the 3rd time. :D We have roughly pot behind, I can't really see him having Tx unless it's specifically ATs or sth he splashed around with preflop but what is going to call me now if I shove? It might still have merit though because he clearly doesn't have KK+ anymore and this way I can protect from the few FDs/overs he might have, but I really don't expect to be in decent shape when called. Any suggestions?

Not entirely sure what the best play is range-wise vs exploitatively. Decided to 3bet in the end but the board is so dry and locked that I probably don't even need to have a wide 3betting range, especially not with a str8 without freerolling potential. I think I can even float my blocker hands that I want to play back with instead of 3bet.

Is it fine as played if I fold here? I mean, the board blocks a lot of boats but I still don't think he takes this line with much else. Don't think he pots 87 like that and very likely no bluff either.

I improved but still don't feel that great. Even with 2p my hand does likely quite bad vs his valuerange and with the few stats I have by him, I doubt he'll be bluffing or aggressively semibluffing here very often. One of my str8 outs is also only to the 2nd nuts. Can I just fold this? Would you continue with a BDFD?
Sept. 17, 2015 | 7:51 a.m.
Yeah, my range probably doesn't do uberawesome compared to his. That maybe was an exaggeration. I meant that his MP open/call range very likely doesn't have many 2p, sets, wraps on this board and a lot of middling cards that completely missed this whereas I at least have a bunch of strong overpairs and/or FDs and thus can probably get away with cbetting a lot in theory.

With UTG seeming very reasonable and a fishy player behind, I think flatting at least AA has a lot of merit here. Concerning UTG I highly doubt that he stackoff with JJ after my cold 5b shove. I think he either flats BTNs squeeze or tries to isolate him but folds to my shove most of the time.

Not even sure what to do with my range here. I wouldn't feel happy getting shoved on by either player really but just flatcalling preflop is hard to balance too unless I'm flatting my entire continuing range.

As played what to do here? His range looks extremely strong to me, I think he could be slowplaying KK+ quite a bunch too and I again wouldn't feel great about getting it in here. Problem is that my hand is still vulnerable to AK and some other stuff if he flatted really wide preflop. b/f 1/3 pot kinda feels wrong too though.

I can see your point. I still think betting flop has some advantages. Firstly I do need a lot of protection vs hands like JT and with that sizing I can straight out valuebet vs quite some hands. At least bunch of A highs are gonna call here I think. Another good thing is that I can dictate the bet sizing. If he has 77 I don't run the risk of having to x/c 1/2p and up but can see a turn very cheaply and maybe even get a free river if the turn is a T and villain isn't comfortable valuebetting anymore.
Yes, I take away his opportunity to bluff, but I don't think it's such a big loss since his bluffs have decent equity and it will be tough getting to SD and winning with AK high vs his overall range. I.e. is the turn spot any different if I x/c'd the flop for 1/2p and he keeps betting?
I like x/c way more vs comfirmed laggy/aggressive recs but since my default assumption is overpassivity I can see a lot of merits in betting.
