$5 NLHE Full Ring: Typical 5NL hand (value betting goes wrong and I get stacked by a fish)

LD1977 · May 30, 2013

Yeah, got it.

Funnily enough, turn sizing (although clearly meant to target this specific guy) is barely adequate since he has a combo draw if I mean to go to the end here. Of course if I refuse to pay off this type of opponent (which I will avoid doing in the future) then turn sizing by itself is pretty great since then it is obviously +EV. He could check raise me sometimes on the river though.

Such a combo draw is rare as all hell though, you'll end up folding up everything you beat 99% of the time if your opponent's not a fish.
Remember, fight a range, not a single hand

Sure, but this guy is a fish and doesn't fold if he has outs

not like he calculated his pot equity here or anything like that. Against a normal player I would never overbet like that since I only get calls from hands that already beat me.

If my math is right his turn call is borderline even if the stacks go in on the river 100% of the time.

So, make his call a mistake from now on then
