CO: 3,783

reads: 15/13 on 834 hands
25/50 on fold to flop bet / fold to turn bet

Preflop (75) Hero is MP with Q Q

UTG folds, Hero raises to 150, 2 folds, SB calls 125, BB folds

Flop (350) 8 9 A

SB checks, Hero bets 165, SB calls 165

i think betting this flop is fine to extract value from a lot of draws, maybe some K9 or K8, TT, JJ

Turn (680) 8 9 A 8

SB checks, Hero checks

i think i controlled the pot without real reason. I guess should have betted the turn as well to charge the draws as the turn is unlikely that he got it. Plus, i might set him to bluff me off on a club river
What you guys think?

River (680) 8 9 A 8 4

SB bets 400, Hero folds

i`ve put him on this range on equilab: 99-88,44,A9s-A8s,JTs,T8s,98s,87s,76s,KcJc,KcTc,A8o,JTo,T9o,98o
And according to it i have 47% on the call that i need 27% (pot odds). What you guys think? maybe i estimated the range wrong

Final Pot SB wins 680

i guess its an interesting raise of his part bc i dont think he would do thas with a lot of A or K in his range (more likely to call), except A5, K5.
Aside from that, there are 55 and a 5+flush draw. All the other flush draws, which could be played this way, im beating with the Q high and the backdoor nut flush.

i dont know if this is a clear check/fold, have no further reads on the guy. I dont think i should be calling his bet because that would compromise my stack. If i knew the guy was an aggro i could check/jam the turn sometimes i guess

thx for reply

March 20, 2015 | 6:58 p.m.

Comment | rutramax commented on 66. Set on wet board. Tough fold?

so you think i should be jamming on the flop or calling the turn jam? If the first one, that wouldnt be such an overbet? Besides, im making him play perfectly because im not allowing him to jam worst, except in the case that he is calling with flush draw

Thanks

March 20, 2015 | 6:55 p.m.

Comment | rutramax commented on 66. Set on wet board. Tough fold?

Thx raphael for reply,

But shouldnt i be willing to defend that hand? i mean, any K, Q, T or hearts has an equity of 40% to hit on the turn. That isnt quite something to allow him to see the turn without charging more?

Plus my raise on the flop looks like a lot more with a draw than a set (which im trying to balance) making him jam AJ or even AQh, AKh on the flop. Im not sure he would value bet 3 street with AQ, AK without scared cards

Thanks again

5 folds, Hero raises to 126, SB folds, BB calls 66

Flop (282) 8 5 6

BB checks, Hero bets 150, BB calls 150

i think C betting this is good bc of straight and backdoor draws, plus some values from floated broadways
when he calls im putting him on any 8,5,6, floats, draws. I think 2 pair or better would be raising there

Turn (582) 8 5 6 5

BB checks, Hero checks

I think i should control the pot there, but not sure bc of draws that i could extract value from.
The broadways floats im beating already and didnt want to inflate the pot and the pairs wouldnt fold on that turn card

River (582) 8 5 6 5 4

BB bets 300, Hero folds

I dont think he would bet an 8 or 6 there. Im putting him on a straight, trips, busted flush draw, not sure if Ax

Final Pot BB wins 582

Preflop (75) Hero is BN with 6 6

4 folds, CO raises to 125, Hero calls 125, 2 folds

Flop (325) A 6 J

CO bets 150, Hero raises to 450, CO calls 300

I think raising here is the best play for protection (quite wet) and extract value from some aces and draws.
When he calls im putting him on good Aces, flush draw, straight draw + flush draw, pair + backdoor flush draw.
I think sets and 2 pairs would be jamming on this flop a lot

Turn (1,225) A 6 J Q

CO checks, Hero bets 520, CO raises to 2,140, Hero folds

Now when he check/jam here i think i will see a lot of straight and flushes, although there are AK with the K of hearts, maybe QJ with J hearts

The bet sizing i made to allow me a tough fold but not sure if my bet should be higher there or i should have called the jam

Final Pot CO wins 2,265

Comment | rutramax commented on Bottom set. Should i be more aggresive?

Nice to add SPrince, my raising range there would be more like 56s, 8Ts, JTs. But interesting to add those others as a bluff and balace it with the value ones.

Flop (180) 7 4 9

UTG checks, UTG+1 bets 90, Hero calls 90, UTG calls 90

I dont think raising this flop is good because its kind of a dry board and if i raise im bsically telling i have a very good hand
I wanted that the UTG call with his A highs, pairs, etc

Turn (450) 7 4 9 J

UTG checks, UTG+1 bets 225, Hero calls 225, UTG calls 225

i`m not sure if i should be raising this to charge the flush draw. Otherwise im only beated by better sets and T8
I`m putting the UTG+1 on a J, flush draw, straight draw, sets
The UTG im putting on a J, flush draw, unlikely straight, set, two pair, maybe straight draw (dont think he would call 2 streets with it)

River (1,125) 7 4 9 J 5

UTG checks, UTG+1 bets 640, Hero calls 640, UTG raises to 2,635 and is all in, UTG+1 folds, Hero folds

Now that im beated by more straights and flushes, i see no point in raising here as most of the worst hands would fold.
When the UTG jams, im putting him on a flush as i dont think he would do that with a straight

I think calling here is fine for set mine

Flop (795) K 7 2

MP checks, Hero checks

The plan here was to call one time and see what he does on the turn. When he checks, im putting him on good pairs, high A with no club, unlikely 7 or flush

Turn (795) K 7 2 7

MP checks, Hero bets 480, MP calls 480

When he checks again, im putting him on high A and pairs. My plan was to try to take him out of better pairs. If he has A high thats even better to extract value

River (1,755) K 7 2 7 K

MP checks, Hero bets 1,560, MP folds

Now that he checked again and im beated by A high i thought that a i had to represent a good hand because im beated by the most part of his range,
The thing is that im not sure if betting smaller would accomplish the same

Final Pot MP+1 wins 1,755

Im not sure if i should jam it after the 3bet and the flatting. What you guys think?

Flop (2,340) 6 3 9

Hero checks, CO checks, BN bets 1,000, Hero folds, CO folds

Here when the CO checks behind im putting him on high aces
When the BTN bets im not sure if i should jam or peel one. It feels like calling its a bit too much (the pot and me will have 4k chips)
Some of the BTN flatting range pre can be small/mid pairs, maybe JJ/QQ because we are still deep.
Because of the flush draw i guess its another reason to jam.

Preflop (90) Hero is BB with A 5

UTG folds, MP raises to 120, UTG+1 calls 120, 5 folds, Hero calls 60

I think defending with A5o can be tricky but im trying to improve the postflop play getting into more situations.
The hand has the added value of straights too

Flop (435) 6 A 3

Hero checks, MP bets 180, UTG+1 calls 180, Hero calls 180

Not much to say on checking versus the other 2 guys. The plan here was to call, keeping the pot small.
Im putting the first villain on Ax, air, sets.
The second villain on Ax, sets, some pairs

Turn (975) 6 A 3 5

Hero checks, MP checks, UTG+1 checks

Now that we turnered a very strong hand, the plan was to c/r because i thought that a lot of better Ax would barrel again here.
Plus there are straight possibilities that could fire again.
I thought that leading here would make the pairs in their ranges fold and those i could get a crying call on the river depending on the card
I probably wouldnt get a turn and river of value from some Ax

River (975) 6 A 3 5 4

Hero bets 420, MP calls 420, UTG+1 calls 420

Now that both checked, i decided to value the Ax that could be controlling the pot, some pair , worst 2 pairs
Villain 1 range: Ax, air, pairs, 2 pairs, unlikely straight (dont think he could open in that position with A2 a lot or the caller would call with that hand)
Villain 2 range: Ax, pairs, 2 pairs, slowplayed sets (unlikely)

Final Pot UTG+1 wins and shows three of a kind, Fours.
BB lost and shows two pair, Aces and Fives.
UTG+1 wins 2,235
