I agree that the turn is where we have to make our decision. I think it's a fold though. The only hand we're beating is some random spaz. His bet OTT looks like he wants to get max value and protect his hand from a 4th spade.

Sure his range isn't great as at 10nl he would most likely bet his sets OTF, but your range looks very weak. What strong hands can you have OTT that check twice? I would x/f OTT as villain will be able to bet his entire range OTR and we can't call.

OTF I prefer donking instead of check raising. Gives us a cheaper price on our semi bluff. Can balance this by leading out strong hands too. OTT do you think you have any fold equity? He limped into the pot indicating he probably has a weak hand that he wants to see the flop with. Now, suddenly he is calling your big raise OTF and raising you OTT. I think calling the raise OTT is best and this allows us to save money on brick rivers. We only have ~$5 left OTR so when we hit our FD or OESD we can probably just donk shove and expect to be called.

I don't think I would 3bet pre flop. I don't want KJo out of position against an aggro player in a 3bet pot. If he's a bad aggro I think we should have a more value heavy 3bet range. Wait for him to make mistakes and value town him when you have a made hand. As played I would x/f the flop. This flop is much better for your opponent's range and he probably doesn't like folding.

Check folding OTT is best. Betting the flop is good, as you said you have lots of BD draws. Why would you barrel the 8d though? It doesn't give you any equity and is a good card for your opponent's range.

This flop crushes both the CO's and HJ's range. What do you guys think about checking the flop?

Judging from the BTN's stats and stack size he seems to be pretty fish. I would expect him to raise AA and KK pre flop and if he has A2 or K2 good for him. I'm always calling off here as he will have slowplayed flushes, AxJc, Ax10c, KxJc.... lots of combos you're crushing. Would be an interesting spot if it were against a reg.

Yes it saves the desired position. As you said, your second line will have 5 Raise first ins if you're playing 6max. If you select one you can see that it says position: Early (EP), Middle (MP), etc... And yes after you change the position your HUD will display how often a person is raising first in from each position. Color coding each position helps. Gl with your tourney series!

No need to send the $25 and I don't have paypal, but it's fairly easy to do. Go to your edit HUD profile and add statistic: raise first in. Then on the right hand side of your HUD profile you should see 3 buttons: Table groups, Pop up groups, Positional pop ups. Select Table groups. Under table groups select item properties. Scroll down until you see position. Click the arrow to change raise first in from all positions to whatever position you want ex: EP (early position). Then repeat the process and add all of the positions. Gl, hope this helps

Do you think a 50/2 is leading out twice with a J high or smaller flush? He could have definitely bet a set or 2p OTF, but once the turn brings a 4th club I highly doubt he would bet again. He's much more likely to check call with those hands. You're not losing value by not raising the turn. If villain checks river you can b/f. If he bets for a 3rd time you should almost always be folding, as he won't be bluffing or value betting worse.

As knoxox said, flat the turn and possibly fold the river. 50/2 is incredibly passive and someone who does far more calling than raising and betting. When a person like this bets, alarm bells should be going off that he has a monster. A 50/2 is never shoving worse than the nuts OTT. Value bet guys like this relentlessly, but fold when they start betting big or raising your bets.

Yes makes perfect sense Jonas and Raphael. Thanks for the replies everyone.

For him calling preflop I put him on 66-99, (22-55, 66 I think he 3bets) and suited connectors 89s-QJs maybe KQs. AT-AJ. Playing 4 tables so when I see someone with a 3bet from the SB that is ~15% this is usually the general range I put them on.
Aug. 20, 2014 | 3:12 p.m.
SB: $25.66
BB: $18.56
UTG: $39.04
HJ: $62.65
CO: $63.40 (Hero)
UTG folds, HJ folds, Hero raises to $0.62, BN folds, SB calls $0.52, BB folds
You are holding a Q blocker so a lot of his Qx bluff hands have to be discounted. I'd fold as you have a lot of stronger hands to call with than a pair of 5's.
