Hello.

Would like to know opinions on how I played this hand. Honestly I've doubts about every street because i'm really not sure about SB cc ranges ( probably lower pairs and AXs hands).

Nota going to share stats of the villain because I dont think it is important for what i'm trying to learn.

Any opinions are apreciated.
Thanks

You have very few valuecombos that want to take this line, i think. Why not bet smaller otr with a wider valuerange and balance with bluffs?

seems okay, but I wouldn't do it with high freq, or vs unknown. Can feel stupid when fish will call some random Ax, and for value this line not great too ( rather going small and get more calls is better)

River bluff seems too expensive. There are many ways of making money in poker, but trying to make people fold top pairs isn't one of them. :P

Do we really want to fire a 2nd barrel on this turn ? we didnt picked any additional equity and Ax, fd are basically never folding. we might get to fold Tx and lower pp (depend on villain) but we still can fold them on the river if we check the turn.

As played I won't shove that river as it really change nothing to our range

I'm not sure that I love this either. That being said, as a thinking exercise, what hands do you guys think that we should bluff this river with if we had to pick some bluffs?

James Hudson 6 years, 11 months ago

Yeah, I think that would be my pick too. Blocking a King seems pointless here as villain basically never has AK in this spot. Though villain will be 3 betting AQ at least some percentage of the time, they can occasionally have it in their range and AJ is even more likely. Both, obviously, being likely calling hands.

First of all thanks for all the responses.
I also agree that QJ would be a better option here. That being said I still not sure if a 2x pot on river on this kinda boards is a necessary weapon to have.
From database at this stakes I came to the conclusion that betting bigger on the turn and lower on the river would net a better result.
