My bad. But you get the point, it wasn't so clear for me to see. It's best when stated in the title. Anyway, I opened up your thread looking to help, but it takes more effort than is necessary and unfortunately all your threads are in this manner. This is the first one I didn't close immediately. Please, post the real hh when possible. :)

I always find it difficult to respond to posts in this format. For example, you haven't stated what stakes you are playing, which is useful for understanding the player pool you face. I don't know immediately if the numbers in brackets are big blinds or $. There's a mistake in the line that begins '5 handed' that states BTN wrongly folded to the squeeze. Overall this is not a good way to encourage a lot of responses.

Oh if you are depressed when wining I fear for you when you are losing ;)

I was thinking two pairs with flush draws + gutshot/blocker to nuts.

Thanks a bunch. Plo math isn't my strongest area. How does one go about doing what you did on my own?

Thanks

Utg didn't cbet, he checked to the button who stabbed. We are only 100bb eff.

5carab you make a convincing argument. I'd just say I don't think you get hands, that you want to fold, that will fold as much at these stakes.

I'd bet the flop. You can get called by worse and have equity to improve if behind. I don't think bet reshove will be profitable. You just run into better hands far too often for that.

I'm not sure I would barrel here as you get peeled again so much, but with a fold to turn that low I definitely wouldn't barrel. I just think you end up check folding too many rivers or getting to showdown versus 2 pairs and you can't bluff many rivers successfully at these stakes imo.

Pre - I wouldn't 3bet personally unless the co has a really high fold to 3b and you aren't likely to get flat called by the blinds.

Flop - you don't have to bet, but I probably would with the intention of barreling straight cards. I think I bet the A turn as it should be a scare card. Yeah, he will have AAxx and raise sometimes, but I think he folds enough and we are planning to barrel rivers when he just calls.

As played, I think you raised too small. I personally pot the river. But at these stakes, expect to get called a lot regardless...people don't like to fold.

Hello, I am not sure why you are so happy to get your hand in versus two fish. 5 way to the flop consider your flush draw worthless. Look what happens on the river you can't even call your flush. Now look at your straight draw you do poorly against wraps and some of your outs are likely dead. The flop is much closer to a fold than a raise - although I would call for that price v 2 fish.

I like a flop lead with this hand. I think check raise bloats the pot a little bit too much with a fairly weak draw i.e. non nut both ways. As played the small bet looks fine you are repping a boat and only need to bet that size to get him to fold the kind of range you are trying to fold imo.

Ok flop & pf is fine. Turn I generally stack off there, but I don't know if that's right tbh? I don't see why he HAS to have AAxx. He can still have hand's you beat that will stack off and you still have equity when behind. River - I don't think you have to put this in your river bluff range. I also think he calls it much more than other hands he has folded in the past that make up that statistic. I think you are looking at the statistic a little too much and not the board texture especially as it's unlikely you shove a straight on a flush card, he can definitely bet a flush draw plus made hand twice then c/c it on the river, c/c a straight and at these stakes maybe even AAxx etc.

Would it be bad to c/c this turn? My first thought is to fold the river. I think he has to have way too much showdown value on this board than hands he feels he has to bluff with.

I think if you bet small you get people thinking (wrongly) that you can fold AAxx.

If you decided to bet fold, what size would you choose?
