@Dan, what merits have raising draws IP vs smaller bet? Looks like smaller size he use the more we want to call, not raise when we are IP? I also don't like your raise OTT

I could have 4B to $40 but less than 5 minutes previously I 4B to $40
with KK and he jammed with AKs so that factored into the meta game here.

If you had bluff here, would you say that this would be good spot to 4bet bluff or not?

Doesn't matter what you do hero is going to win this hand :)

I have no idea how deep you are, I don't even understand what position you are, it says SB but you raise first, get 3bet and get few folds later

I feel like his valuebets OTF are going to be A8+, so turn x/c range will be, A8, A9, AJ, AQ maybe some time hand like KT but I don't expect that to offten. so OTR I feel like he needs to fold AJ and AQ to this be profitable. So it all comes down to what you think will he fold this hands or not

should IP player have raise range on this turn? I guess he should just because his bet is so small, how about if SB starts donking 3/4 pot or overbetting, should IP player just call or create raise range aswell?

BlackwaterPark:

you can listen to poker audio books, there are few quite good audio books

I think you should not worry about what his does with his range (if he calls to much or folds to much) as long as you have enough bluffs and value hands. If you know how he construct his calling range in this spot then you can adjust but I think that you have to shove this hand if you want to have wide betting range here.

So if he does fold "to much" to river shove I would not worry because you will gain more value when you will be bluffing here

I don't thik we should be betting hands like QT and QK of harts, I think we want to be betting hands that don't have blockers to harts or T just because we want villain to have more busted draws in his range when we bet with bottom of our range. I think that some other hands might be beter

Very good post!
Thanks

I see that you keep repeating that your plan is to raise flop but it turns out that this flop is not good for you. You should not have a plan on what to do on the flop before it even comes.

You need to know what is your calling range in this spot preflop, and if you only have 77-TT from PP, and you would call flop and turn with some other cards (AQ, AJ maybe) I think that you need to call with all of your PP. if you fold 77 here, what is your calling range? only TT?

@James Hudson: can you elaborate why would 3betting 22-66 be decent play? I just don't see reason to 3bet small PP, we will be OP if called, we can't 5bet without reads/dynamics, we don't have blockers, people IP are more likely to call...
3betting 22-66 looks fine to me only when we can shove over his 4bet and expect to have good fold equity, I'm interested why would 3betting small PP be good play as I tend not to 3bet them, maybe I'm losing value...

Thanks

I think you should fold preflop. As played I'm not folding river

Taking a coach from time to time is very good for your game. And I don't agree that wining player would be good coach, I think that coach also need to know explain things, need to care about his student's and not only do it for his/hers profit.
I remember, when I took coach 2 years ago, it was one of better things I could do to my poker career. No, I have taken coach now and will see how it will affect on my game/winrate.

I can post here my thought on coach once I finish all my sessions with him
