Villian is 20/16-2.7 over 4.5k hands. Raise 1st from btn is 39 %. His cbet is 64 %, turn cbet is 44 %. WWSF is 45 %.

Would you have played this differently at any point?

I think calling turn is close because (a) its hard to extract value oop when you hit, (b) villains opening range from the button is relatively tight and (c) he doesn't fire many turns.

You could consider raising flop or leading turn. I like raising flop. One could argue that villain only folds worse. However, he is probably folding some better Ax and maybe some PPs. Further, A high isn't as valuable against a 39% opening/ 64% cbetting range as it would be against, say, 60% RFI, 75% cbet. So, I wouldn't mind turning my hand into a bluff.

This hand would pretty much always be in my 3bet value range, though maybe vs a 39% steal flatting is better.

Flop seems fine.

Turn seems fine too.

River I think is actually close-ish. I'd have to sim this spot.

How wide are you flatting from bb here just out of curiosity?

Sorry, to say that, but I´ll simply refuse to answer any more hand histories that are posted in raw format (and you´ve gotten reminded twice, not only by me).

For me it´s actually a sign of disrespect vs. those you expect answers from.

Sorry BigFishz, but I have no idea how to convert hands to a readable HH here. Been trying all the options at Weaktight, but none seem to do the job.

How do I do it?

Ah, my eyes stopped bleeding. :) Sorry, after my post I saw that you asked for tips in the other post ... seem to work now!

Ok, regarding the hand, I like flatting pre. I´d 3-bet from SB, flatting from BB is fine. We´re getting a good price and we dominate a ton of Villains holdings. Flop is close between x/r and x/c. I agree with the turncall being close though. I had probably x/r turn, shoved river.

I know i'm a fish, noob and crazy,..but i think we're so passive in this kind of hands (call pre, flatting and flatting postflop...). we dont know how, we are on the river in a 33,5bb pot without any info. I think if i was the btn, i'd 3barrel most of times this kind of boards..

Is it so so bad, and am i so so wrong thinking all the time we should 3bet this hand? in case we call preflop, why dont c/r a so dry flop?

Plz, if im wrong, help me to get better my dementia! hehe, cause i dont understand another way to play this hand right now :S

I don't mind a 3bet preflop here, but I lean towards a call. I have a very wide range for calling a 2.5x btn raise here, so I like to call here to strengthen my range a touch. Would 3bet vs some villains who call too much and don't 4bet often.

Flop call is good, c/r doesn't rep too much, definitely too strong too fold etc. Also one nice thing about c/c on this flop is that it doesn't cap our range and we can still rep strong flop hands later.

Don't hate a c/r on this turn, if you c/r i think you should be barreling off on a lot of rivers and would fire this river. however the more i think about it the more I prefer a call. We still don't rep a ton with a c/r and villain should know we could float this flop pretty light. I think the beauty of a call is that he likely barrels off a ton on an Ace or a club, and still value bets clubs fairly light. Also we can call a lot of rivers with ace high, this one for example I'm calling, I don't know what his river bluffing frequency will be like, but he is barreling turn for sure with KJ, JT, KT, T8, J8. I definitely c/f K, J, T and 8 rivers if they are not a club. I probably c/f 9 and Q rivers as they should reduce his bluffing frequency.

Also forgot to mention that he is obviously barreling turn with clubs and we beat all of them except his 9c Xc hands. I would assume he is checking back the lower pairs with clubs on flop.

My biggest concern about a call/call/call line here is that in actuality we are calling this river way too often and it is very exploitable. I don't think he is going to exploit it, but it is certainly worth a note.

preflop and flop seem standard. i don't think we can rep much with flop XR on 934r

vs opponents who DB any OC (very common these days) i would XR the turn. if this was my hand i would get called by 5c6c and lose :)
clark116 11 years, 11 months ago
Changed my mind about a river call, it think it would be too exploitable, also we are blocking a lot of his hands that he barrels as a bluff. Im leaning towards the turn c/r now.

How do people feel about check shoving river now we are here? I feel like we have very few hands that aren't a pair of 9s or better at this point. We can rep 65 well IMO as well as 77 and other strong hands certainly aren't beyond possibility. It is going to be really rare that we have a hand with this little showdown value on the river, and we really won't have many hands that feel the need to bluff.
