Couple of 200z Hands
Couple of ZONE hands, so no reads are available. I'd love some feedback on the hands though.
Hand 1
Eff $300
Hero (UTG) opens TcTs to $5
Villain (BTN) 3bets to $17.50
Hero calls
Flop: 6d 8h 4c
Hero check calls $20
Turn: 9h
Check / Check
River: 2h
What's our preferred play here?
Hand 2
Moreso curious to hear how you guys might play this spot differently. It's very weird to me and I wasn't really sure what to do. I hated calling down but the bet sizing led me to keep doing it.
Eff $400
Hero (UTG) opens AsJc $5
BTN calls
SB calls
Flop: Ah Tc 8s
SB leads $6
Hero calls
BTN calls
Turn: Ks
SB bets $12
Hero calls
BTN calls
River: 5d
SB bets $15
Hero calls
BTN calls
SB shows As4s
BTN shows AQo

hand 1: bet 20%-40% pot to get called by AK+*h or a worse pair and to preempt a raise from an overpair. can mix some X as well to induce bluffs from high cards.
hand 2: call/raise/fold are all fine on river. I kinda like raising in these spots because I think the sb lead range and button call/call range are probably low in slowplays, so you'll get a lot of folds.
hand 2: I like raising huge(with at least some backup info on them), think at best SB have 2 pair and BTN pretty much too. Both at some % capped, and even though you are bit too, sb looks like weak player and our raise should get extremely many amount of folds.
Hand 1: Check call or check fold on the river, depends on the sizing. You don't block any heart, so it's more likely Villain has A, or K of heart, and he might use that blocker to raise if you bet the river. I don't think A high will ever pay you off anyway. If they have over pair, i don't think they will value bet river with that run out.
check folding river on hand one would be a disaster...you can't fold TT to a normal sizing once checking to villain...i also like what sauce had to say re: sizing, just block bet and force the villain to play a balanced raising range and hero could potentially play that size only to protect range and simplify game tree
Villain can has Ax of hearts in his 3b range, it's quite unlikely he would bluff in this spot, especially he already checked back the turn. Meanwhile, we don't have many combination of flush, the only strong hand we can have to bet the river is A5 of heart, but we wouldn't normally call this hand preflop OOP.
population can definitely have bluffs here at some frequency if they brick their backdoor fds on turn and decide to delay...additionally, population probably tends to lean toward continuing to barrel their heart combos at a very high frequency, so not overly concerned about flushes in their range...still think a block here is a solid strategy
Hand 2: I think call flop and turn is fine. I don't like the call on the river though. Fold or raise is probably better EV. Depends on how SB and BTN stats. BTN overcall twice behind is a bit worried too
