This is a Zone/Zoom hand on anonymous tables. Literally no reads.

God bless the USA... lol

Yeah, I don't like the turn sizing either. This is a spot where you're not really betting thinly, which means when we do bet we want to bet LARGE. So either pot it, or check. I think either is fine.

As played, probably waiving the white flag on the river. While it is good that you unblock FDs, you block his straight draws and don't block any pairs that may be inclined to call a bet when the number of nines in your range is severely reduced.

Preflop and flop seem good to me. I think you can mix 4betting and calling with a lot of your range BTN vs SB, and that includes JJ. Raising flop is probably an overplay - you'll have sets and big draws to raise. Not sure we want to expand that raising range even more.

I like a bet on the turn. I don't think the typical 50NL villain is structuring his ranges well enough to put you in a spot where you're massively value-owning yourself, or even checkraise bluff you off your equity. Instead, they're checking hands that either want to check/fold or check/call, either of which is perfectly fine with you.

As played, you have some single diamond hands to call with, and probably even have some non-nut flushes, so you're pretty far down in your range. Fold seems prudent.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the turn bet either. Why are we betting? Are we trying to fold out ace high? A lot of 9x hands become even stronger on that turn card and aren't folding. This is a great spot to check back and delayed double barrel a lot of river cards.

I agree with the previous posters that checking 100% is the simplest structure to take. However lately I've been putting some larger bets in my range with some Tx hands in spots like this such that I can also bet large with my 2P+ hands. Not sure if that is right or not, and jury is still out on how it has worked out thus far (small sample size).

Gross spot on the river. I'd suspect we're theoretically supposed to call getting 2:1, but this pool just doesn't bluff near enough in this spot, and also doesn't value-jam worse. HUD stats may influence decision...

Also cdubdiddly I believe this is a Zoom hand...

Size down or check the flop. This is not a configuration and board where we want to be potting with a hand that continues to a raise. Kinda feel like I'd only be potting sets and hands like AcKc.

I also like to check back the turn. Again this board warrants some level of pot control, as if a bunch of money starts piling in we're not particularly happy about it.

River check back is standard. We're never getting better to fold, nor worse to call.

Definitely raise or fold preflop. You don't want to incentivize players behind to squeeze you.

As played, I think you can bet/fold the turn. Neither player has indicated they can beat TP3K, you have a ton of hands you can get value from, and you just aren't going to get bluffed off your equity.

On the river, headsup you have to call, but multiway you're going to be a lot tighter. It's probably still a call, but it is close, as I wouldn't expect missed clubs to bluff multiway.

I don't necessarily think calling the flop is terrible, but because of the lower-than-usual SPR caused by the 3bet pot, we don't have a ton of flexibility to win the pot without making the best hand. Like, I think we would sometimes want to checkraise a card like 8x on the turn, but we really can't since the effective stacks are pretty short due to the bloated pot preflop. But if we're sufficiently deep, we can do all sorts of things with our range, manipulating stack and pot sizes.

I like your line and sizing, and I probably fold turn. We're actually in the middle of our range, even with top two, and because of the sizing he took over your large sizing, we don't have to defend that often. Especially with the Qc in our hand, taking away a lot of the pair+FD+SD type hands he could have, seems like a fold.

At this stack depth, I think we're okay to just fold the flop. Calling isn't terrible, but I'd much rather have a bit more implied odds against the top of villain's range. If we're 150 BBs deep, then I usually call.

Turn I'm not happy about his sizing, and it definitely feels like a "I have strong value and want to be able to shove river" sizing. Probably time to fold now.

I agree with Barkn - I'm not a huge fan of betting the flop. Smacks button's range, we're still multiway, and we have a hand that can comfortably call a reasonable bet.

On the turn, can I ask why you overbet? This seems like another spot where it really sucks to get raised, so I almost want to check/evaluate again.
