Hi, this is live full ring 1-2 nlhe (60$-200$), at a wild place where stacks get deep very fast and a lot of people like to put in the 5$ straddle.
Preflop
Everybody folds to hero CO (450$), opens with 86dd, D calls, SB folds, villain (650$) squeeze in the BB to 35$. Villain is a good young reg who studies the game and can 3bet light hands like suited connectors, small pockets and small suited aces. He has been 3 betting quite a bit lately. Hero calls 35$, D folds. He knows me has quite a good reg also.
Flop (79$)
Qc7d4d
Villain checks, hero bets 45$, villain calls 45$.
Turn (169$)
6s
Villain checks, hero bets 145$, villain calls 145$.
River (459$)
7s
Villain checks, hero ??(225$ left behing)
Thought process:
Preflop I try to steal with 86dd from the CO witch is pretty standard. Villain in the bb have been 3 betting quite a bit lately and I have seen him some other days 3 betting light as I said. Also he is squeezing so is range might be a little lighter. So I decide to defend IP which I don't think is so bad. Flop gives me a huge draw, he checks and I take the lead immediately because I don't think he checks AA, KK, or AQ, KQ because of the flush draw and I want to have some FE if I don't hit my draw. On the turn , I hit a pair in addition of my big draw, he checks again, at that point there is no way I'm folding so I make a big bet in the optic of shoving pretty much any river if he calls the turn. He calls ,river is a brick he checks. Here I will get sick if I check behind and he shows me 1010 or JJ, or a hand he might fold to my all-in bet of 225$ like Q10s or QJs. Plus he might try to hero call with AKdd once in a while and my pair of 6s beat that. So I continue with my plan and shove the river. Villain calls me quite fast with AQdd...
So is this a complete set up or could've I saved some money here. I like the aggressive approach of the game in those spots because it can give you some implied odds in later hands.
What do you think??? Thanks a lot ;)
