Alright so villain here is a regular. My thought process is basically - He can check back TT and 99 here sometimes, probably doesn't 3b 66. T on turn massively reduces chances of him having Tx or TT obv. Not sure if he'd bet 88 here for some kind of value/protection, it's possible and I'm really not sure on that. Again 77 doesn't 3b pre much and won't bet turn always either.

Maybe he can have a hand like JTs or ATs but that would bet flop some of the time and won't be 3b pre all that high of a freq and again maybe ATs folds pre. So it's just JTs? T9s could play that way but would probably bet flop a very high % of the time also.

So I was trying to figure out what hands he could bluff with here and it's not a spot people will just suddenly wake up and start bombing with a hand like QKs or something.

That said aren't we pretty close to the top of our own range given we won't have TT or 99 here much at all maybe never?

I didn't bet flop because I felt it was better for his flatting range than my 4b range, is this acceptable or should I just bet? Feels like a board we want to slow down on. On the turn I think a bet or check is fine but think a lot of my range would be checking here so it's also fine to check this hand.

Villain here is a bad reg imo. He is in the games a lot but makes random tricky/spewy plays. Checked back AQ on Q85r from utg v bb. I thought that was pretty bad. Stuff like flatting random K5s hands from btn in multiway pots etc.

I'm thinking 88/66/ flush draws will bet flop. JJ/TT/QQ probs bet flop a lot, maybe check some of the time as well. Can't have 33/44 surely so I'm thinking he's floated something like AQss or he is getting fancy with AJ/KJ type hands. Although I very much doubt they would overbet shove here so I'm grasping for justifications really with that.

Also in practice regs never overbet shove these river spots for almost 2x pot unless they have it.

Should I just bet/fold river?

Villain here is a very good reg imo. So I think his flop c/r is going to be very heavily weight to semi bluff 2 overs or draw type hands. Super dry flop he shouldn't have 33/44 and we block AT. Guess we can re-raise flop some of the time for protection but calling is probably the majority line here?

I felt like this was a terrible turn and expect him to unload river, not sure how to proceed.

https://www.weaktight.com/h/5d23bf09d390430c188b4803

So I think in game I probably gave too much weight to him having random sets/2p/straights in his limp/call range whereas maybe in practice that is unrealistic and he's more weighted to 1p + draw type stuff and therefore I should be betting turn 100%.

Is my turn check as big of a mistake as it feels in hindsight?

https://www.weaktight.com/h/5d23bf65d3904372658b4716

Villain is unknown here. Given his stack size can I ever get away from this on the turn? It's possible he just stacks off any kind of equity given how much is in the pot relative to his stack imo. Just a cooler?

https://www.weaktight.com/h/5d21fcf2d39043133b8b482f

So I think flop cbet is fine multi way on what I believe is a safe board. Turn I'm not sure what to do honestly. Probably should keep barrelling as it shouldn't help his range that much? Can we fire 3 streets safely here vs his range for value?

Anyway I went for a pot control kind of line and tried a value bet on what I thought was a safe river. His raise doesn't make much sense to me.

His turn check kind of caps him to maybe weak pairs like maybe 77/88 or TT/JJ but they would bet some of the time on turn.

If he has floated flop with an overcard hand like QJs or AQs then it would probably bluff turn? esp those that pick up the FD. I don't see what air hands will decline to bluff turn then suddenly decide to bluff river.

Any thoughts?

Thanks guys

So obv trying to get it in here pre, he doesn't oblige and flats. Villain is a reg. Not sure what a flatting range here would look like, but maybe something like KQ-AQ 99-JJ maybe QJs or JTs. Is that realistic or too tight?

Post not even sure if I should venture a bet on a Q high flop but it's dry and we're probably betting here a lot so figured it can't be too bad to just 1/3 pot it and give up on bad turns. Probs jamming on hearts, A/K and maybe J/T sometimes too.

So I think flatting pre is mandatory as is c/c flop. Don't think we want to raise turn even though the bet is quite small. Think raising just narrows their ranges too much and is probably too thin.

Really don't know what to think of the shove, it looks super strong and there are no draws to suddenly be bluffing with. Can't see pairs deciding to turn themselves into bluffs either so easy fold? Assume he is just nutted here?

https://www.weaktight.com/h/5d211e51d390437c368b47be

So I don't normally flat btn here in general but there are 2 bad fish in the blinds and we're very deep vs one of them. Think flop float is fine given small bet size + backdoors/position.

Not sure what size to go on turn or what exactly we're repping if I'm honest. Think I'm right in saying it's a fairly merged kind of size so mostly 1/2 pair type hands and maybe some semi bluffs like the FD or 89s. Would a larger more polar size be better here?

River I just think we can have a ton of missed draws and therefore bluffs so we can size up, maybe we don't have enough value combos to justify this though and we're just a bit too bluff heavy in this spot?

https://www.weaktight.com/h/5d212c31d39043fd158b469c

Villain is a reg. No idea what to do really pre, I don't want to get it all in for 200bb, but if I flat his 3bet I'm losing too much value. Does a reg have any bluffs in his spot pre?

Feels bad to flat and just play hit to win but ripping over a 5bet also seems terrible, so does folding pre.

Villain in BB is a fish obv with this stack and I have him tagged. Button is a reg.

I 3b here pre 100% with this hand which I guess is fine. Maybe could tone it down if BB is more aggro given his stack. Flop I'm quite happy to just bet and let the fish shove, this will often fold out the btn or he'll have to take respond to it in some way so we get more info.

The only problem is his call looks absurdly strong here. Like his range could literally be exclusively 88/99/TT and maybe JJ? Can't see what hands he would be flatting here. Can't even imagine QJcc type hands flatting, he'll just play very straightforward and on the tighter side vs the action in front I would assume.

Is my mistake to cbet in the first place? I was just mindlessly betting to get it in but given the call we have new information and maybe we can make an exploitative fold now?

Thanks

Villain here is a reg.

I don't see anything I can do differently until the river. My rational for calling is that I blocked AQ and KQ won't play this way imo so it removes a lot of his trips/boat combos. I also block a backdoored flush and I unblocked Ac flush draws, although I doubt they play this way that much. Maybe JTcc can play like this and try to rep the Qx given we probably don't have that much Qx in our range other than like KQ which won't 3b pre that frequently. So maybe as a bluff repping the Q is a reasonable play for him?

With all that said, how often are regs bluffing here? It doesn't feel like a spot where a reg is gonna play with much frequency if at all.

thanks

I don't like calling here pre but feel obliged to given the odds, the BB sizing kinda stinks of some nutted big pair as fish do stuff like this. CO is an unknown to me.

I'm just thinking on the flop I have enough fold equity and given the SPR is so small. Also I won't be in horrendous shape vs most ranges here. It does simplify things for me also although playing fit/fold on further streets is simple but maybe not an option. Is the shove a little rash, do we want to just call given we're in position?

https://www.weaktight.com/h/5d1a4011d390435a428b45e7

The villain who open limps here is a bad fish, limp/called K6s earlier from CO vs a BTN iso. The iso'er is a reg so I assume he's just trying to corner the fish. Even so I think AJo might be slightly ahead of btn here anyway? Is pre flop close or just always raised.

OTF, it's frustrating because I think this flop will hit his middling limp/call broadway range pretty hard but we still flop a gutshot. I don't know how much fold equity we have here with a cb against my perception of his range. That said I don't think c/c is going to be great either, at least we can barrel with this line?

My barrel here is obv pretty poor, not sure how else to put it. I was going to try and bluff some rivers but this is about as bad as it gets. Is there any other way to go about this hand?

Feels like I build these pots often to just end up folding without a hand.

https://www.weaktight.com/h/5d1a3ef8d39043bc3a8b45c6

So I think pre flop is standard, maybe I could size down my flop cbet but also not too bad vs what I believe is a recreational who plays regularly in this pool. I don't really get his flop min raise, is he just going for value with any overpair basically? Is this ever a bluff and do we have any other options than to fold?

As I type this out it feels more clearly just a spot we shrug and fold. I know I shouldn't be too worried about being exploited here but it's just gross if he can min raise and get us to fold so often, although I guess it's mostly just better hands anyway?

Thanks

So villain in SB is I think a fish and BB is a fishy reg. I think his range for donking this flop is pretty strong just as any reg's would be. So 2p/sets/straights then maybe a small amount of strong draws with bd equity as well.

I guess the K/A runout doesn't help my actual range too much given I won't float AK or overcard type hands but maybe in practice these cards would slow down a bluffing hand somewhat, maybe not.

Is this a fold on river? on turn? Feel like we're never good here.

Thanks a lot

So I'm not sure what my squeezing range is here pre-flop. AQs is definitely ahead of the open and the flats though so I want to isolate/thin the field. I think the size seems ok?

I literally have no idea what to do vs the 4bet. I don't know what his range is or his frequencies as it's a hudless site. And I feel like his actual hand here is quite a bad one for 4bet bluffing and makes me question if he is a legit reg. Maybe It's fine.

Flop I guess I can c/c but I think with SPR so small we just want to c/r and get it in, probably a c/r non all in is actually superior though.

Bit confused by the whole hand though.

Thanks guys

So I'm content with my line here, villain is some kind of reg. He seems loose and I spewed in a 3b pot vs him earlier so he probs has an image of me as bad.

I don't see what hands he's repping here other than 44 or a 75s that checked flop. All sets would bet flop and this isn't a line semi bluffs would take. Even a made flush would bet small flop or raise turn small. So the shove feels like a strong but vulnerable hand. Doesn't make much sense and we have one of the best hands in our range here.

Any thoughts? Thanks

https://www.weaktight.com/h/5d08cc5bd3904354378b46e0

I find these kinds of spots very difficult. I want to bet the flop for value and some protection given there's a FD, some straight draws and it's multi way. Is this where I go wrong in the hand?

On turn given the smaller stack size behind me I could bet and call it off vs him but then I'm still unsure what the next player's range is and his range for calling pre and the flop I imagine would be very strong by this point.

Honestly I just folded the turn because I felt like at least one of them should have me beat here but I'm not sure if I've got monsters under the bed syndrome right now. Realistically either player can have 88,99,55 or 67s. Then hands like 98s occasionally and FD's where it's difficult for me. So against both players overall ranges I think my overpair shrinks in value a lot.

Is there any other way I can play it? I seem to be building big pots with these kinds of hands lately only to get lost.

Thanks a lot

https://www.weaktight.com/h/5d08cc8bd3904344378b46ed

Don't think there's too much I can add to this hand. Both the limper and the iso'er are fish. I think my squeeze size could be a bit bigger but don't think it's a huge deal, maybe it is?

Is anyone playing it differently post flop? I think he call call off KJ QJ AJ here or is that too ambitious as a default. I could use a smaller flop size in hindsight though which allows me to bet smaller on turn and it not be awkward.

Thanks guys
