Hi guys,

do you see an other way to play this hand? mabe other betsizes?

Villian is a stars nl100 hu reg, i do not know much about him, we played about 50-70 hands together.

I see a ch/r on this board from a standard regular like this:

AdX KdX 33 55 Q5s Q3s sometimes AQ KQ etc (but heavily discounted) and a few bluffs

i am not sure how i should play as stacks get deeper. vs a 3bet he continues probably only a flush (4bet) or a pretty strong darw like AdQo KdQo Ad2o Ad4o (call more than 4bet). i doubt that he shipps 33 55 there probably only call to hit a boat.

so the best option is to 3bet to charge his draws and sets. if he shoves he almost always has a flush there. but vs a flush i have 34% equity and with my 3betsize i have to call 95 to win 185 ---> 34%, hence its a break even call.

my questions are:
1) should i 3bet bigger for better odds on a call?
2) does sb see a bet/call as an option?
3) how shoud i change my plan when stacks are more than 140bb (i.e. 200bb)?

thx for help

River ($285.20) Q 5 3 4 T (2 Players)

Your 4-bet is way too big. Almost all worse hands now fold, and you'll give yourself a terrible price when you are bluffing.

As played, bet-snapcall the flop. Don't go all in right away. Again, bet an amount that you could still fold after. He's going to jam AdX anyway.

And make a note that he made a super loose pre-flop call.

Why u think that was super loose pre flop call there? its 3 x in hu match, Ax is big hand for hu. suited specially, even if he 3 betted it pre, i wouldn't call it loose

He would not shove 140BB.
With 94.5 in the pot and facing let's say a 35 dollar bet, he'll only raise 60 more.

@Aleksandra A2s is not a great hand by in a 4-bet pot with a low SPR. Your ace is dominated a lot, and if he does have a hand like QQ and you flop top pair, it's hard to get value.
You're basically hoping to flop a flush (draw). I'd much rather call a hand like QJs in the 4-bet pot than A-low.

What you mean, you play HU and fold A2s? Its not 3 betted pot pre flop , its just 3 x which is id say someones normal  open sizing? to exclude discussion whether its good to use it as 4 bet bluff?

I think Chael misread the action.  It's a totally standard call pre.

Just flat his checkraise.  Once you 3b the flop you isolate him to flushes and sets basically, and he has more combos of flushes than sets.
