I learned from some thread on another forum that it's very profitable to raise when V raises our cbet like this. However this might be a bad board to do it on but his range is really wide(weak) BvB.
Turn ($11.50) 8 Q 6 6
Hero bets $5.25, BB calls $5.25
For some reason V didn't let go of his hand and I panicked and bet without much thought and I might end up betting into Qx and a bunch of draws so this should still be fine.
River ($22.00) 8 Q 6 6 5
Hero checks, BB bets $7.25, Hero folds
I chicken out here even though the draws missed. After he calls twice it's more probable he has Qx and I expect him to check back it almost 100% of the time. His river bet seems like he is value betting a flush.

Comment | MikeDRobini commented on 25NL Zoom AQo Flop Raise from Villain

I discounted AA and AK because I believe V will almost always 4bet them vs unknowns.

The main problem I see here is that we don't get free cards usually and that it's hard to get value when we hit a flush so maybe a fold is better, or check/call.

I didn't stop and think what I could get value from so I face this awkward spot.

Readless.

If I was in V shoes, my raising range would consist of sets, 2 pairs, flushes. (Thoughts?)

I just have hard time figuring out the range...

After playing around with flopzilla a bit it seems I have 41% equity vs 99,77,KJs-KTs,JTs,T8s,97s which is flopped sets, flushes and 2 pairs. I need 25% to call but vs this range I will never get a free turn so I'm not sure if I can call here now.

Comment | MikeDRobini commented on Improving Your Exploit Skills (Part 2)

Very nice video!

@ 32:58 you have defended with QJo vs a player who seems pretty tight from UTG. Isn't it too light considering lots of his UTG range dominates your hand.

Also, what would be your default defending range there vs unknowns? I've gone as far as folding KJo vs a reg because(I'm still a newbie at cash games) I'm not sure about how wide I can actually defend and off suit hands don't do as well as suited ones in that spot.

Comment | MikeDRobini commented on Top pair v river lead

I usually fold this unless I have reads because calling stations don't usually bluff and if he value bets the river, I can't see him do it with worse hands other than what I've sometimes seen =
64 hand turned into a bluff which you beat.

Comment | MikeDRobini commented on NL25 Zoom K8o 3bet pot

Am I to fold the hand even vs min 3 bet with such great odds? I called few min 3 bets a bit lighter yesterday and saw a player shut down so it's not always the nuts I presume and we can take down the pot sometimes even without a great hand.

Vs min3bet we need 22% to BE.

Thanks for the replies.

Comment | MikeDRobini commented on NL25 Zoom 77 4bet

I'm pretty sure that even a reg fish is going to bet his sets and 2 pairs on flop though because the board is super scary, I'd see him almost potting it.

Didn't want to bet into 3 people and to build a pot with such a flop and just TP so I check to see what the others do with a plan to check/call almost any turn vs shortie because I think he has bunch of draws that he can shove here.

One problem here is that it's vs unknown so I can't be sure he will ship flush draws, straight draws etc. but is this fine?

Comment | MikeDRobini commented on NL25 Zoom 77 4bet

I see! I've been under impression that I shouldn't flat 3bets OOP with hands that don't play well postflop and 77 is pretty difficult to play with the overcards coming no? Or are we just set-mining if we flat it?
