I do agree with 4betting there, but calling there also should be +EV play. It's just I have a feeling that villian does 3bet wider, than he should be. So I think against wide 3bet 4bet is always better, as it has a perk of denying equity.

To solve this spot we need to know how deep can your opponent think. Is he able to do any sneaky plays, have some AA/KK there? Is he straight as an arrow and plays JJ this way, maybe he is afraid you hitting Ace or flush? If he knows that you 3bet wide he might easily play TT this way. If I had reads that he fast plays draws this way I'd snap it on the turn otherwise if I were playing my A game I'd just fold the flop - the reason for that is there no good turns for us and if he is bluffing we've got ~50%, if he has TT+ we're dead.

You got some strong logic going on there, thanks man. Tell me why are the lower suited connectors are better than 78/98/9T? What's the crucial factor about it?

I do agree about folding pre having 100bb but don't you think calling is fine when having 150bb+? Or you would just leave the call to broadways and pockets?

My logic is that OOP never have good queens, if KJs/KQs/AQ goes to 3bet therefore even tho the turn pairs it is no improvement to BB range.
I'm just guessing here so I'd like to hear your point on that.

March 13, 2020 | 2 a.m.

Squeeze range for SB should be JJ+/AJs+/KQs+/A4s?. But some people do cold call AK, cold call AA here is pretty strong too, if he knows that UTG is recreational. Your play can't be bad here, I'd play this myself, it is probably superior to just a call.

March 12, 2020 | 3:18 p.m.

The turn is very important here. Q never improves your range much; he also can fire the final barrel with A6/K6/67.... On the river his bet size tells me it is a rarely bluff but rather a thin value like you said 77+. Him showing AK is really odd.
ps c/r flop is not great but playable IMO. you can always improve to ace/straight draw and barrel the turn.

March 12, 2020 | 1:33 p.m.

I think it all comes down to your reads. I wouldn't worry about anyone but SB, he does have many JJs/AKs. Looks like your hoping to flip there, unless he played AA this way, which is possible too.

March 12, 2020 | 11:31 a.m.

I'd call pre sometimes as you did. Most people overbet this turn nowadays, but I'd just bet ~60%-70% and call it off. The way you have played the hand, I guess that size bet ott might make him raise lighter, should be followed by the push on the river just because he didnt raise the turn. AJ/AT probably is his best bluff catcher, any overpair with a club might be a fold in his shoes.

Great great vid!
@ 23 JJ 3bet pot
I understand the thing about range advantage/disadvantage and flop bet is clear to me. But do you do on blank turn/river, just fire it off 3barrel, CO still has KQs/KJs maybe KTs or you c/c both turn and river hoping to see A2-5s/45s/56/67s. My question to summarize would be - How do you perceive 3bet pot case scenario BBvsCO on Ace/King/Queen high board from both points of view?

March 11, 2020 | 1:27 p.m.

Does c/r on this turn look superior to 3barrel because of villian having all JTs/9Ts? On the other hand it's just ~6combos and if he is a little aware he would just check behind them.
If you ever choose to 3barrel, why wouldn't you choose this spot?

Comment | rakeme commented on NL10z Bluff in 3b Pot

I guess your play is reasonable but I'd choose overbet river all the time. The main reason for overbet would be that in IP player range all of the JJ/54s/56s/67s/9Ts/KQs. Given his check on the turn it is either nutflush with which he wants to c/c turn and c/r river or overpair. I'd would choose to always bluff that spot with Ac in that spot with overbets.
