Perhaps flatting preflop is a better play against a player like him ?
Think Bet-Bet-Check is the best line postflop. Any line is going to get you owned here sometimes though, but I´d go ahead and trust him to check back worse on the river often enough to fold if he does bet.

Seems like a better bluff catcher than JJ/TT when blocking a 9. I'd expect him to call wider pre when deeper and his stats look like he dislikes folding, so I'd expect to win enough on the river to call, as you beat pretty much any floaty hand and he 4-bets his strong hands pre.

I'd focus on playing well and just ignore it.
If it´s important to you to win more non-sd you could 3-bet more linear and bet/raise too thin for value to trade some blue for red, if that's your thing...Wouldn't recommend the last part though.

There is no way of knowing what is correct without solving the game. It is entirely possible that over/underdefending will occur on various streets and boardtextures.

Just watch a lot of videos and start out a bit tighter than the highstakes players if you play in games with less FE.
Nov. 19, 2014 | 10:16 a.m.
Don't think you have much FE on the turn against a very tight preflop player. I think you are being too optimistic if you try to bluff him off an ace when he hardly ever plays a hand and finaly hit something, as well as having a good blocker to your value-range.

Think I agree with Sweet16 that it's a shrug, bet-call.
Got check-raised allin by KK fwiw. Maybe his decision is more interesting.
Nov. 17, 2014 | 4:14 p.m.
It certainly does if you cbet 100%
Nov. 17, 2014 | 10:42 a.m.
Seems like the converter doesn't work well if you cut off some of the hand.
Anyways:
Opp is a good reg on the aggr side with barrels. 60/20 oop.
Stacks 200.
I make it 5 w/ A8ss, he makes it 18, I call.
Th9s2s, Pot 36, he cbets 22,5. I call.
Turn 7h, Pot 81. He checks.
I don't defend J8o/T7o/97o/86o and I might raise the flop with T9+, I however have a ton of equity, which means I'm not getting punished too much from a check-raise and would like some FDs in my betting range, so I can rep those when betting something else.
Nov. 14, 2014 | 10:10 a.m.
Not sure, but think check-raising is best and playing your capped range accordingly at the river.
Nov. 14, 2014 | 9:56 a.m.
Sizing bigger opens up a better value/bluff opportunity when he is relatively capped. ~300ish seem better.
I don't think you need to lead you entire range, when lot's of it has showdown value and you have plenty value-hands for the bluffs, you DO have.
Nov. 14, 2014 | 9:51 a.m.
I'd fold too and don't think you are getting exploited by a ton of no heart tripple barrels, considering how often you will have a A/K high flush.
Nov. 14, 2014 | 9:48 a.m.
I'd play it the same and check-fold river. Maybe check-call some KK/QQ w/o clubs to balance.
Nov. 14, 2014 | 9:45 a.m.
I dislike your sizing more than the raise itself and i think it's very optimistic to expect someone to mincr-4-bet bluff the river, as they have conflicting motives size-wise.
Nov. 14, 2014 | 9:41 a.m.
I like your line if you call river.
Nov. 10, 2014 | 8:59 a.m.
This is going to look pretty rambling, but here goes:
I gave him a range of 45% flush, 22% overpair /w spade, 22% set, 4% straight and 7% onepair+gutter. That is assuming he doesn't re-raise flop or turn, which is probably too much to assume. So you have 52% EQ.
Anyway, if you check-call and he only jams flushes. Your EV is -1.4bb. (Win vs CT)
If you check-fold it's obviously 0.
If he jams 45% flush and 22% overpair with a spade, you EV check-calling is 14.5bb(You are better off folding)
If you bet-call ½ pot and he jams the same range, your EV is slightly higher, as you fold out 76.
Decided to give you a range of AJss-A9ss,A7s,A6s,A5s,A3s,A2s,97ss,96ss,88,55,44.
If you check everything and he jams unexploitively. (Most, but not all flushes, almost all overpairs with a spade and no sets), then your call range becomes flushes, 55/76 with a spade.
In the end, having some kind of player read is going to greatly increase your expectation in this spot.

I like the flop raise on a board this dynamic as you have position and will still have a lot of good hands regardless of run-out.
I'd size smaller on the turn, so you can value-bet wider and bet the river and adjust from there if he isn't calling any flush or King-blockers.
Nov. 7, 2014 | 11:13 a.m.
I meant check some, bet some. Call some to a bet, fold some to a bet.
Oct. 28, 2014 | 12:48 p.m.
Seems plausible as there are/will be a lot of better draws to barrel. Think it's pretty likely that a mixed strategy on the flop is correct with Ax as well.
Oct. 27, 2014 | 7:35 a.m.
Think you need to make some kind of blocker indifferent rather than air.
Oct. 22, 2014 | 7:33 a.m.
If oop construct his range such that J5hh/JTo is slightly +ev both betting and checking on Ks7d2c, which range should they go in?
How much do you think button should defend vs 3/4th pot when checking back the flop or turn?
Can either of buttons ranges be 'unbalanced' in GTO play, ie. folding a lot more than the odds offered if bet or raised against ?
How do you deal with the fact that every 'value' hand button have blocks made hands and every bluff doesn't and oop will similarly block value-hands with his bluff-catching range.
Bet or check KK as BT?
Oct. 15, 2014 | 9:27 a.m.
Too strong a hand to fold, given he can have chops and often will take different lines with better hands.
Oct. 13, 2014 | 12:13 p.m.
400 bb's aren't going in in every pot I play and if it were, I´d much prefer AQo.
Oct. 3, 2014 | 9:35 a.m.
I used a 3g dongle for several months in Chang mai / Phuket and it worked well, although not flawlessly. Better than the internet at most hotels though.
Sept. 28, 2014 | 12:57 p.m.
Don't think I'd bet anything that small with a flushdraw on the board and 2 opponents aside from KK exploitively.
Sept. 15, 2014 | 10:18 a.m.
I think you are misapplying the concept here as the 8 isn't that great a card for a sb-flat range, compared to a bb flat range hu.
Sept. 15, 2014 | 10:12 a.m.
Think the 2 hands are very different and I would give a lot more credit to a shove on this board than the other as there are more legit flop calling hands on this and more hands can call the turn, compared to the other.
Fold pre vs 3x. Bet turn(More Jx,Tx), XF river.
