Raising turn would be rather thin in most cases but in this scenario his bet size is so ridiculously small, I think there's an argument for raising like half pot and not letting him get away with a cheap semi bluff or draw another card at such a cheap price. I think that on the turn we're very strong - ahead of everything except sets and AK. Villain will still call a reasonable turn raise with worse 2pair and flush draws. His river sizing is obviously repping the flush but as played I'd find it very hard to let go and probably sighcall/regret

Hello sir tough hand because villain doesn't have many natural bluffs on this board texture. As played I think definitely calling river cos of good odds + we are almost at the top of our range here. If we fold here that means we're only calling with JQ? That's probably too tight even if he has few bluffs in this spot

Hi Sir in my view we cannot check our whole range here because its so drawy. I guess JJ+ and flush draws are always barrelling turn

best of luck on your journey bro! looking forward to your updates. what sites have u been playing at before this and how was your win rate?

I don't think it's wrong to fold sir, considering we're playing OOP too. But i also don't think it's wrong to check/call as we are getting pretty good odds with our bluffcatcher

Sorry but can someone please explain the reasoning for checking the turn as played? If we committed to a pot sized bet on the flop and check the turn, what are we repping? Only Kx and draws I think. Maybe a weak ace but I don't think we have a weak ace here

Tough spot bro. Even discounting AQ+ and AA because he didn't 4bet, I still don't like calling turn because we go into river with 50bb pot OOP and most rivers won't help us. The villain's flop check is really fishy though... I think on the turn he's only repping trips or flush draw...in the heat of the moment I might have called turn and regret river lol

Just my 2 cents sir - I love regs! Because u can accumulate more history, more notes to make more solid assumptions. Exploiting regs is certainly different and harder than exploiting fish, but I think it's a shame to avoid playing just because it's a reg table. Playing against tougher players also helps us to improve.

Not thrilled about stacking off with TP on such a dry board - we need him to be bluffing basically 50% of the time here and I think we have much better hands (doubs, sets) to call with than QK. 1 question what was the reasoning of your turn bet? IMO we don't need much protection on such dry board and we are really only scared of the Ace.

Tough spot sir! I won't Jam turn cos we're only getting called by better. Tough spot and I don't see many natural bluffs that Villain could have unless he's turning pocket 9 etc into bluffs. With no reads and assuming that he would have 3bet AQ+ QQ+, I think we can narrow down his range to mostly sets, doubs and 45. Personally I'm sighcalling turn cos odds and in position, but im folding river.

Good point sir! Thank you for fixing my leak.

Jam river sir - I think we will still get calls from Kx, AA maybe even QQ

If he 4bets so much, we can discount some AA and KK combos right? As played I reckon QQ too strong to fold turn though it looks like we only beat AK AQ AJ. I probably call turn and re-evaluate based on the river texture sir.

Nice induce line sir. We are too near the top of our range to fold river even to a pot sized bet. Unfortunately I also don't see many natural bluffs that Villain could have here. Should discount AA and QQ combos since he flatted pre. Guess we have to pay off the set if he has it!

If we assume a standard 3B calling range of JJ+, AQ+, maybe KQ, we only beat JJ and KK on the turn. We hold blocker to KQ, AQ and AA but we also block KK. With 100bb effective stacks I think turn is prolly a half pot bet and might check most rivers, but as played NH (although I think it's still a very close/even money spot)

NH sir. He got uncapped ranged whereas we're capped and OOP. We only beat AK AQ type overcards and I don't know if he would be taking such a strong line with those hands anyway. We don't have the pot odds to call here so NH I think. 1 question - I don't know if we can fold to the turn pot sized bet

Such a nasty turn and river! OESD and FD both got there. Although we hold Qh blocker, I think VS a pot sized bet here I'm folding (based on the pot odds, we need to win this 50% of the time. However I just can't justify to myself that we're ahead more than 50% of the time here). Not sure if my reasoning is too nitty tho

Is it correct to discount some Ax combos from villains range cos he checked river? I mean, he was the aggressor and at this level I don't think villain will x/c or x/r when they hit top pair on the river very often - I think they are going to be straightforward and bet most of the time. However I think another consideration is how often does villain fold in this spot? In my experience at these stakes, a lot of villains will call even with say pocket 10s, J10 etc

Good point sir, my assumption above was that BU in this spot will call 3B with a more linear range, less polarized range

Just a question since we are in 3BP - if instead of J there was a K on the flop, how should this affect our xshove decision? Should we even take xshove line on a Kxx considering the Ks in BU range? Im guessing we have more fold equity (over cards) on a Jxx texture

Regarding the question on whether it's preferable to just call the 3bet, i think in particular this spot (CO V BU) we are usually facing a higher 3bet frequency and by calling we'll end up playing OOP postflop with no initiative. So 4betting gives us a chance to end the hand preflop (no one likes playing AK OOP postflop) and I think I will 4bet most of the time in this spot. Certainly different considerations will apply if we are IP or if this wasnt CO V BU

hi guys. given that Villian range seems quite draw heavy (straight draws/pocket pairs) and the effective stack sizes (both players essentially pot committed by turn), is there any merit to jam turn here? on the other hand im wondering if turn jam will just fold out the Villian's weaker hands and isolate ourselves against the top of his range like his sets...

Me too. Let's start one!

Once SB has folded and we are basically heads up, is it ok to sometimes turn this into a bluff and check raise here? We can still rep QQ and bluff out his middle pairs and AK - possibly even SC on flush draws. Appreciate any opinions because I sometimes do this and not sure if it's spewy! Thanks

On this flop texture I think that V is calling with most of his 4bet calling range. The tighter our 4bet range is and the wider his 4betcall range is, the more equity we have. So I think cbet decision largely depends on these 2 factors. So if there is a lot of blind defence pre flop dynamic with this V and in a situation where I have say 1/3 bluffs here, I would be more inclined to check flop. Is my reasoning correct?

On the river I think we'll see trip 7s, FH, pocket pairs and missed over cards in V range here a lot. I would discount trips and FH since V didn't donk river which I'm assuming is their only value line cos turn was checked. Considering 1. our turn check line and 2. Odds (about 1:6) I reckon we have a good bluffcatcher so this is a call to me.

Hi pple, would the decision be any different if turn was a K instead of A?
