100NL

Hero raise AdQd $3 UTG 6-max
aggressive reg 3-bet on left to $9
Hero calls

Flop Jc8d6d

Hero check
villain c-bet $6
Hero raise $18
Villain raise to $30
Hero?

Im mainly wondering which play is going to net a higher EV, flatting or jamming?

We are obviously not pumped to GII here once villain makes the small 4b on flop, but with so much money in the middle, its not a horrible option at 100bb

We are getting precise odds to call here against a very narrow and defined range. JJ+ essentially everytime. Dont think he has things like KTdd for example. Not sure how to calculate my EV of my options, so that would be helpful.

Downside of flatting is he sacrifice our equity on the turn when we face a large bet. Which actually seems like a big deal.

Actually, writing this out, jamming just seems like the superior option because when we flat and brick, we are forced to C/F on turns facing a jam

Are you better at Yugioh or poker? Fan from another game here

Ryan 6 years, 10 months ago

at my peak, probably Yugioh lol

i dont consider myself very good at poker. i have a 10-11bb/100 at 100NL, but i really think alot of people are better than I. I also dont enjoy poker as much as i enjoyed Yugioh, so that has a large effect

Do you have Cardrunners EV? This is a pretty good kind of spot to use CREV on and compare different scenarios.

Off the top of my head it feels like calling is the play because you're getting great odds and likely have 0 fold equity if you jam the flop.

i dont have card runners.

and i agree we dont have fold equity, but, there is alot of money in the middle at this point, so calling and C/Fing to a turn jam and giving up that equity seems like a big deal

this leads me to believe that we are better off jamming and realizing our equity rather than calling w odds and C/fing that equity on the turn.

I could be dead wrong, but that is why im here haha

I’m not a huge fan of your check raise on the flop when you’re drawing to the A high flush. Imo it’s going to be pretty easy to get stacks in by the river in a 3bet pot anyway unless you’re playing deep? I don’t see your starting stack size so maybe that’s the case?

Villains raise size looks suspect as well. Since it’s so small I’m reading a draw that can include the nuts which puts you in an ugly spot when any mid diamond drops or you miss the turn and get jammed on. Both scenarios force you to make a tough decision w/A high draw. IMO against an active aggressive player a check call on the flop would put you in a better position on the turn. Interesting hand, tough board.

Agree with other posters AdQd is a low freq XR here. Folding is not really an option since you dominate some draws and the pot is too big. It's too nitty to think he almost never bluffs and that he rarely or never has draws. Shoving is probably the simplest option; the EV is competitive with flatting against most strategies and you'll avoid tough spots.

Okay cool. Thanks for the responses everyone. It seems like if we are flatting this hand here, we are probably flatting most of our range here then.
