i open 70 utg mp calls button calls blinds call. we have 8d8c flop Ad9d8h I bet 280 into 350 mp folds btn raises to 800 binds folds I call. Turn2s I xc 2000 river 7s I check he puts me all in for 10540. We?
ok this hand was played live. V is a pro lagtard older Asian man. We have a nice amount of history already built up. 1 we got into a big verbal confrontation about a few months ago. 2 I cold 4bet from the sb 3 days ago with AQo flopped top two AQ8 rainbow and check called flop and turn 1k on flop 1500 on turn and he shut down river. 3 earlier in this session I 3bet sb vs late position open with 88 and he cold called his straddle and it got checked down on QQ10J5 and I won with 88 on river (pfr folded on this hand). so it seems he is playing very passive towards me since I protected my checking range with AQo.

zillagio you realize its 4 handed so utg is cu. im not too worried about making big decisions later int he future vs villain. this is a rare spot imo other hands will be easier to play as they will be more standard

ok I 3bet 89dd because I don't think it shows profits flatting from the sb. rather be aggressor and bet my draws and be able to rep something on certain boards that I don't think I will be able to from the sb when I flat pre.
MrSneeze I did pick up on something other then his bet sizing but I thought it would be silly to mention. My frist obvious reaction when he 4bets me is lols he is mad bro he wants it but that still isn't enough for me to get it in pre. Post flop one flop hit and he bet 800 his food arrived that he had ordered he quickly turned around tipped the waiter and started to ask questions about the food etc. ok that was really weird to me and I just don't see too many people even pros be that comfortable in a situation like this and read it as a reverse tell clearly. add that to the 2400 shove into 2900 on the turn I think he clearly wants me to think he has it but in fact he doesn't. I know in theory its prob not a great call but given game flow etc I though it was worth a call this time. and I am very scared money btw :)

ok well this is how I looked at this spot . 1) V knows we are capable of 3betting light as we did from the sb w 89dd an orbit earlier. 2) V is capable of 4bet bluffing pre a decent portion of the time in this particular type of dynamic that's been semi built up at this point. WHich in case Most of V 4bet bluffing hands will be ax and some suited connectors. 3)flop is Kh10s7c ok King hits the flop doesn't this king on the flop block a large portion of his 4bet value range? 4) he bets 800 into 1300 on the flop and shoves 2400 into 2900 on the turn which was the 8h. Ok I don't think most people play ak or aa this way as far as bet sizing is concerned. I think he is repping very very thin here and if he is indeed a pro and good at poker he should have a ton of semi bluffs here and I have a pretty good hand not the best bluff catcher but a decent one and it blocks his drawing hands so maybe I should call. I think only kkk would size this way in this particular spot. I could be wrong though I mean im only a student of the game.

We are 4 handed live I cover table. kid opens 1st to act to 70 we have qq btn we 3bet 210. ive 3 bet villain twice in like 4 orbits and he folded both times and once the fish cold called and I showed down 89dd on the river. V now responds by 4betting me to 620 with 4k effective to start. I call. Flop Kh10s7c he bets 800 I call turn 8h he shoves all in 2400 we?

think i fold turn w khjh its gonna be kinda hard to get paid of you get their and he is giving you a really bad price on a call! you have to realize you are smashed in your face and if you do improve its kinda obvious when you move him in imo. Not sure how dumb he is to give it to you with 2pair plus on a 1 liner or once the front door comes in. 2nd hand is obvi check/ never fold spot. you can't bet in this spot it doesnt make you any money ever!

pplaying 10/20/40 kid limps utg (14.5k) 3 other fish limp (playing 3-5k) we (10.2k) are in the 20 blind with AhAc what should we raise to? i don't think utg is limp folding here fwiw

faced an interesting spot in 10 20 nl
lag opens utg 60 (11.5k) ep fish calls (4.5k) btn calls (3k) sb calls (40k) we are bb with AhAs (11.2k) we ^ 380 utg calls ep calls btn folds sb calls. flop 973hhs we bet 800 utg calls everyone else folds. turn kd xx river 5c xx we win.
i checked river because i thought villain can never call with worse and since i x the turn its obvi i have showdown and didn't wanna get bluffed off my hand in this spot thought i could be opening a door for that since i basically have top 2% of hands when i squeeze the entire field vs utg raise. would flatting pre since we are all this deep be more optimal? i know it sounds silly but we are all soooo deep and everyone tries to exploit so much in live poker when your range is so narrow vs when your range is super wide and by flatting my range becomes super wide in this spot.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what HEM is saying, but isn't our winrate post-rake? As in your when your net amount won is $1200 and your rake is $800 you essentially won $2k.
* impatiently asked #2 with video paused and then you solved for higher limits. Thanks!
