I'm not 3betting JJ here readless. Also prolly checking flop behind and either checking turn behind and calling river or betting turn and checking river.

There's no real difference here between KT and A4s imo since they're both bluffcatchers. The question is which one is the better bluffcatcher and I think they're pretty much the same. Maybe non spades Kx + broadway.

I'd raise that flop all day every day. A fish isn't getting away from ANY overpair/draw/pair+draw here.

What if we had KhTc or KdTc?

I don't think it's worth it, especially @ 2nl/5nl. Crushing the micros is still a decent book nowadays. Keep watching videos, focus more on theory videos than live play ones.

As for your goal of beating 5nl for 3bb/100 I'd suggest you pick something else. It's a goal that is results oriented and have no control over. Make a goal to review 2 hands and play 3 hours a day, or something like that that is tangible.

Use the 10$ to buy a subscription @ grinderschool and watch a few of carroters series that focus on some theory (and maybe later on some TDA).

Fine as played. Missing value by not betting river. They're never bluffing here and you basically have a bluffcatcher. You can probably start calling river raises just with close to nutted hands and do just fine, people don't bluff even close to enough.

You could even consider folding pre. I mean it's a stronk hand but unless any of them are fishes you're gonna have a hard time getting any value unless you bink a set. Not to mention we have nothing invested here yet.

I guess it's fine to just fold turn. Not sure I love the double barrel though, I mean there's very few combos that we can take value from, mostly broadways that decided to float flop with a diamond and even those might not call 100%. I might find a check on the flop and call turn but I'm not sure how 50nl plays. Do they start foaming at the mouth vs checks ? If so then you can start balancing by checking a lot of stronk hands.

I like the iso 100% but I don't think I'd cbet that flop, one of the worst flops possible vs a fish, it smacks his range.

On river I'd fold, most fish don't bet their busted draws.

No real reads, 300 hands or so. He has reggy stats but no clue if he's good or not.

I think it's fine as played. If CO was looser you could 4bet but as played even the aggro reg might have AA KK sometimes because when 4bets that tight CO he knows he only reps SUPER strong. You're definitely not gonna get value from 4betting, the only question is if you can do it for fold equity which I don't think you have considering what we believe about the reg plus the fact that someone w/ 5% 3b (I'm guessing it's way tighter vs UTG) is gonna be defending enough and with a strong enough range.

Don't mind as played, don't see much of a point of overbetting river tbh but once he shoves it's an easy snapfold.

Some regs might shove AhX here but I wouldn't worry about it too much.

EDIT: There's plenty of other decent lines here, x/r flop , b turn, b river on non heart runouts isn't bad.

X/C river wouldn't be bad either as you played. I guess it depends on villains tendencies.

I'd just shove pre to be honest. I'd be more inclined to call with AA than with KK as I won't be afraid to GII on 90% of flops. I've seen people do the same thing UTG did with AK/QQ before which he isn't going to fold and I don't wanna see an A high flop and have to fold when I can just jam pre profitably.

As played I'd just call. You'll be beat often but not often enough to justify not calling for that price. If he did this with QQ then you know you made a mistake pre. If he shows you AA then you can shrug it off as it's a 0 EV scenario.

The 44/33 are weighted to 50%.
Regarding the river they DEFINITELY give up way too often on huge +EV bluffs at this limit (I think I never saw someone triple they just double and give up, maybe once in a blue moon)

Also I agree with the sizing. I mash that button way to often without actually thinking about it especially in SRP. Considering that what sizing would you have liked different and why? Can't really find much fault with my this exact sizing here.

On the turn we need to call 1.7 in 6.8 which is 25% and we have @ 24% equity vs the range I just described. I probably had a hard time laying it down because I just hit TPTK and because he was an unknown. Also didn't really know the odds and it's very close to a break even call. Might even be slight +EV if he EVER has some random spazz here.

That's very true but you also give free outs to hands like AK or AQ which are a significant part of my range.

Also if his point is to get his bets in on the turn and river why would he raise turn. The stacks are going in on the river regardless and the turn changes nothing.

He just shoved the turn so we can just call. How big would you like the flop bet?

It's a jam by him so we can just call. I agree that he can do this with 9's often, and diamond draws.

I can definitely play a A9s like this sometimes which then makes this a mandatory call. Thanks for that. I remember even thinking that while playing, just didn't recall it when posting.

I like your line a lot. No reason to stab flop, you're not folding out better hands. OTR I don't really see a point in raising, as for folding, we're getting 25% here which I guess it's hard not to have on the long run.

It's a bet call on the turn. If he has a range like the one below where the broadways are only clubs/spades (which makes perfect sense btw, sets and pair+fd/oesd+fd) we have over 40% equity and we need like 25% to call.

I think it's kind of a mistake to squeeze this. Chances are you are over-squeezing, this hand plays fine as a flat (also its most probably not ahead of their continuing range), I'd rather sqz/fold AQo/KQo, sqz/call AKo,AKs,QQ+. Also having range constructed like this makes sure we can defend enough of it having a ratio of 24 to 34 bluff to value. If you want you can add even AJo there but depends on the positions and their propensity to fold.

This is horrible advice.
