Comment | Elgatonegro99 commented on call or fold?

I don't think you ever have the best hand when you get 3bet on the turn in a live game. If he somehow was bluffing the turn it is very unlikely he jamms the river.

This is an easy fold in a 2-5 game.

I don't like 3betting the flop. You said that the most likely scenario if we flat is that V1 will flat as well. I am not sure that is accurate. Yes he will call with most of his draws but he is folding his one pair hands and there are probably quite a few of them in his range. V1 will also be in a very tough spot with small flush draws.
I would strongly consider calling and leading the river for about 4/5 pot on a brick river. On a flush card I would just check/soul read?
If we 3bet turn, what kind of sizing are we using? It seems like awkward stack sizes.

I think you have to check and hope he bluffs. There is also the option of making two freakishly small bets, something like 215 on the turn and 375 on the river and see what he does. It would look so weird he might call with worse or better yet he might jamm the turn.

I like how you played flop and turn. On the river against most opponents I would make a small bet and fold to a jamm. You mentioned that he tends to show down weak hands so maybe checkfolding is an option? I am torn on this one, I think I make a small value bet and fold to a jamm.

Close river spot. I think I call because of the price we are getting.

I agree that this is an easy fold vs most live players but this kid is a lot better than most. I did end up folding the river but I think it's close.
Thanks for your thoughts.

I have one player behind me. Am I misguided by thinking that betting can set up a double barrel when A, K, J roll off on the turn? In addition I have a strong draw as back up. I also think its rare that I get raised in a four way pot.

There are a lot of bad rivers for our hand. I think I like a raise.

8 Handed.
Villain is a tough LAG. He defends his blinds wide and is generally sticky. Effective stacks ~$2000.
I open to 40 with T8ss in MP. BTN calls. Both blinds call.
4s5c6s
I cbet 110, BTN folds, SB folds, BB makes it 300, I call.
Turn Js
Villain bets 450, I call.
River 4h
He jamms all in for 1350, Hero?

I like my play on the flop. Turn and river I am not sure about.

If he checks turn he can def get value on the river.

Live players generally have plenty of flushes in their range. Some might even have JJ. That is the reason why I like checking back the turn. By checking the turn you keep his range nice and wide. If he is calling down with any Jack and pairs 22-JJ, fire away!

I like making it 550 preflop and calling it off. As played, checking back turn and betting river if checked to would be my line vs this villain. I think this board is way too wet to bet turn.

I think betting for value on the turn and river is a little bit optimistic. On the turn he has way more hands that beat you in his range than hands you beat. If you check the turn you allow him to bet his floats and worse hands, instead, when you bet, his continuing range is just crushing your hand. I would have c/c turn and c/decide on the river.

With the btn I think calling is much better. You have to be sure that he is capable of5bet jamming light. A lot of players just won't do that.

Feb. 26, 2013 | 12:12 p.m.

I think his continuing range is too strong in a spot like this. Checking back and using our position would be my play.

I enjoyed this video. However, in my opinion you made a couple of 3bets with the wrong types of hands. The one that jumped out at me is when you 3bet an utg raiser with 66 otb. This is a perfect spot to flat and set mine. His range is very strong and you have position, once you 3bet you are giving up the chance to win a big pot vs a big pair.
