Interesting spot. How would you play AQ and JT ott & otr?

Villain has more Ts than you in his cold calling range and also more 8. Most of your MP opening range consists of broadways and pocket pairs. It's ok to check this flop with this particular hand. It's also easier to check your entire opening range on this TT8r board imo.

Comment | Koala commented on NL50 4bp

With your 4b sizing and 140-bb depth, BTN gets decent odds and implied odds calling with a lot of hands in position. You might consider reraise to 15, 1/3 pot flop and shove turn.
If villain is decent reg, x/f turn and river is fine imo.

Comment | Koala commented on NL25 Fast - Bad bluff ?

I'd probably check turn, x/call a small bet or x/fold to more than half-pot sized bet. He's probably not folding any Q on the flop and turn. His pair-T types of hands such as TJ and T9 improved on the turn too.

Blinds: $0.10/$0.25 (6 Players) BN: $24.38
SB: $44.77 (Hero)
BB: $25.00
UTG: $15.75
MP: $50.93
CO: $37.45
Preflop ($0.35) Hero is SB with A A
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.85, 2 folds, Hero raises to $2.75, BB folds, MP calls $1.90
This is one of the Zoom tables, first time playing vs villain, no stats and no specific read.
Flop ($5.75) 7 8 J
Hero checks, MP bets $3.25, Hero calls $3.25
Not a board that we like, decided to x/c for pot control given we are about 200bb deep vs villain.
Turn ($12.25) 7 8 J J
Hero checks, MP checks
Still not seeing any reason to donk turn either, plan to x/c again if villain bets turn.
River ($12.25) 7 8 J J T
Hero checks, MP bets $12.00, Hero folds
This is where I think I could have lead out for a 2/3 pot bet as a blocking bet, but villain has more nuttish combos at this spot?
Final Pot MP wins $11.70
Rake is $0.55

Comment | Koala commented on action OTF?

well said, I prefer cbet to check-raise too.

Jan. 14, 2015 | 5:53 a.m.

at this stake I think bet/fold this flop is fine.

Comment | Koala commented on NL 100 River Hero Call

You pick up additional outs OTT, bet turn with a bigger sizing so that you can shove a PSB otr probably works better.
OTR as you said, if you are calling with 8x you may be overcalling with a lot of combos.

Jan. 9, 2015 | 2:20 a.m.

call turn and check-call river.

well played. pretty standard imo

Comment | Koala commented on NL50 trips BvB vs reg

His line doesn't make much sense to me. IF he had a full house ott it's probably better to bet all three streets and get value from your Ax bluffcatchers. I can't put him on any hand with his line, probably calling river.

Comment | Koala commented on A9 trips facing barels

villain has a sizing tell, you can make an exploitative fold otr.

Jan. 8, 2015 | 5:25 a.m.

Comment | Koala commented on AQ trips facing x/r

call turn and let him continue to lead with worse Q. Or lose minimum facing sets.

Comment | Koala commented on QQ river fold vs nit

raise pre.
call flop, call turn.
fold

Jan. 8, 2015 | 5:22 a.m.

Most of your bet check bet range consists of top pair and one pairs. You never have 2 in your range and probably don't play sets in this way either. He may raise for value with TT JJ 99 77 33 22 A2s and turn other hands into bluffs such as 88, 45.

well played.

Comment | Koala commented on AA calling river raise

I prefer bet bet x/c. He probably calls turn again with most of his flop continuing range, which consists of mid pairs and straight draws. OTR he may decide to bluff his missed draws or try to value bet a weaker pair.

Jan. 6, 2015 | 7:28 a.m.

I'd call preflop. ATo is not a hand that plays well from oop vs a reasonable MP open in 3b pot. When you hit top pair, you may be dominated by AQ AJ or overpairs such as JJ etc.

Jan. 6, 2015 | 7:22 a.m.

agree, bet bet shove is better. We can get villain trying to bluffcatch with worse A. It also balances well when we do have a fd.

Jan. 6, 2015 | 7:20 a.m.

I like 3betting preflop. This balances with our broadway types of hands and gives us good board coverage. As played, when villain gets to the river I don't expect a lot of draws hence not many hands missed. If you check to him I expect a check back most often. If you bet, he probably calls with most of his range too, since 6 completes no draw. I'd give up river.

Jan. 6, 2015 | 7:17 a.m.

I like bet bet bet on this runout. You don't give up much information about your hand by betting and you extract most from bluff-catchers.

Jan. 6, 2015 | 7:07 a.m.

agree with sweet16, at 10NL I expect a lot of calling stations, you don't have to worry about balancing.

Jan. 6, 2015 | 6:15 a.m.

Call river. Your range looks like combo draws and Kx. He could play all Axhh this way imo.

Comment | Koala commented on overbet bluff

Agree with folding preflop.

Comment | Koala commented on AQo 3bet pot OOP vs reg

Don't see button's 3bet and squeeze stats, but must be really tight since he is 17/14. Folding pre is fine. Calling pre is okay but I'd fold flop. If we did get to the river, I'm probably still x/folding.

Dec. 18, 2014 | 5:53 a.m.

Comment | Koala commented on KQo vs fish

vs a 44/29 likely fish, never folding top two OTT

Dec. 18, 2014 | 5:49 a.m.

Comment | Koala commented on AQo in 3bpot

completely agree

Dec. 18, 2014 | 5:48 a.m.

fold preflop or call flop fold turn.

Dec. 18, 2014 | 5:47 a.m.

Comment | Koala commented on well played?

Not being result oriented, QTo doesn't play that well in a 3bet pot oop. QTs would have a lot more playability.
As played bet all three streets probably works better. Villain may call down with top pair and pay off more often.

Dec. 18, 2014 | 5:45 a.m.

You can flat his 3bet and play 99 oop postflop, which isn't that terrible. On some boards you can at least call one and judge turn. Sometimes villain checks back flop or bet flop give up turn.
Also you can use a bigger sizing if you decide to 4bet, say 6.75. But when we 4bet, we are really hoping for a fold. For you AK and JJ, you can use same sizing as well. If we want to have a 4bet/fold range, maybe use hands like KJo which has decent blockers.
