Sigh Call IMO, expect him to have kj often though

 

[Matt Vaughan]

My instinct was to fold, especially since people seem to be so much nittier postflop in Zoom? (Or that's what I hear - idk since I can't play it.)

The potential flush draw makes it much closer though imo.

 

[Logan2]

Scourrge have a point there on the FD making it closer but i will expect KJ/TT/33 more than AK/AT or a draw on Zoom.

about rams hand - Wouldn't of 3bet pre, but i can't fold top two there getting them odds :|

 

[DunningKruger]

f3bet and sample?

 

[pocketehs]

Isn't the pot like $21 with about $15 behind? This is an interesting hand. I'm on the fence.

Woops. I didn't even read the whole thing correctly. If we assume a fish then why are we 3-betting J9s OOP, surely we want a merged range here?

As played I think I prefer to jam river here now that I have actually payed some attention. With only TP here in a 3-bet pot OOP we are just such a goofy position so fold pre next time.

Sorry for not reading it correctly, it's been a long night.

no man we have trips OTR..

Definitely bet/fold. You would be surprised that fish will easily call you down, and other people with like a 8 in this spot, not buying your story.

dont really like bet folding at all

I would rather fold PF until I get stats on the villain. Probably bet/calling it off on river if I think villains a fish, check/calling river otherwise, however why are you 3 betting PF if u think he's a fish? adapt...

i have 4 hands on the guy. i just assume hes a fish cause he doesnt have auto reload on and is one tabling. surely I can 3bet an unknown there and have it be fine?

about rams hand - Wouldn't of 3bet pre, but i can't fold top two there getting them odds :|

Why do you think just flatting is better than raising pre? I always felt given having position; villain having a 40% F3B that he would call a ton of worse hands and lots of dominated ones too. I agree; with the odds..it's just one of those spots where I feel I'm never good I sometimes go against my gut a lot because "I Have odds" and just wanna see lol. Surely not good and seems a bad strategy.. lol.

f3bet and sample?

40%. hand sample isn't huge; can't remember exactly but was betwen 50-60 hands.

Scourrge have a point there on the FD making it closer but i will expect KJ/TT/33 more than AK/AT or a draw on Zoom.

Agreed. The flush draw makes calling easier but I thought exactly like you; KT/TT/33. I just don't see anything worse shoving; maybe some worse 2 pairs.​

Yeh draw deffo makes it closer; I had the TT/33/KJ for all his value range and then included some worse possible hands (2 pairs) + some pair + draws..

My instinct was to fold, especially since people seem to be so much nittier postflop in Zoom? (Or that's what I hear - idk since I can't play it.)

The potential flush draw makes it much closer though imo.

Yeah they are a lot tighter in zoom. As stated above; I agree the flush draws makes it closer but as you; instinct seems to make me want to fold.

Sigh Call IMO, expect him to have kj often though

It's deffo a big sigh call for sure or folding ​

hand1. KQ - I think flatting pre is fine. We have a tight player opening and a nit flatting & we're OOP so I think it's going to be difficult if we squeeze and get called.

I can't help feel given he's not overly aggreive and he fires 2 strets with decent bets I think depending on his river sizing it can go either way. If it's a big clear value bet from AA/sets/AK which will likely be his range I think we can fold. I doubt he's going to be value bet KJ so big for example or bluffing at this point and that's all we beat at this point.

Hand 2. We have a donk lead and MP raises he clearly has a value hand but given how he ISO pre and raised his donk, I'm guessing he has JJ+. I think he's going to be raising all his over pairs in this spot vs this fish. I probs just try get it in on the flop as any more middle cards kill action. I also think we miss out on value on the turn? I doubt he has Tx in this spot; unless of course he has TT. Given the way he played though as I say I think he more likely has JJ+. I bet turn/river.

Hand 3. This guy doesn't seem overly aggro. I don't mind betting turn; but when he calls river seems interesting. Maybe you can get a call by JJ..I don't think he has AQ in this spot, given he checked the turn to you.

 

[ScottishMatt]

@ Jake I understand we have trips OTR but we aren't relying on hitting trips every time in a spot like this. By 3-betting a fish pre we just leave ourselves in a tough spot until we get lucky enough to hit something strong. I wouldn't hate it if we had position but playing OOP is tough enough but against a calling station who is hardly ever folding any piece and who we have no FE against it just isn't going to be profitable IMO. As for your other hands

1) I squeeze pre, they are both tight but we can narrow BTN's range to PPs and AJ/AQ along with some other strong broadways. You didn't give a F3Bet stat but I would be assuming he is folding almost all of that range to a large 3Bet here so I go for like 3.00-3.50 here. I don't think you can squeeze for value (although sometimes they can setmine here) and it rarely works as a bluff however I think vs these player types you will see enough folds preflop that you can show a profit without ever needing to play posftlop. I prefer to that to playing OOP vs two nits. As played however I think turn is a fold, his AdXx combos are relatively few compared to his flushes/sets. Even if he does have just the Ad OTT then he is getting there 1/4th of the time. Also sizing is lol value. Unless you have a sizing tell that he semibluffs for 70-80% pot then it is even more of a fold.

2) Looks good. Our thought process runs exactly the same here so I don't really need to do any analyzing as you already know everything I could say.

3) Against a nit I probably check back turn just because I don't see much worse calling us, betting turn is fine too if you feel he is fishy enough to stay in with TT/JJ. Three streets is really thin but I struggle to see what hand he has that can beat you. It's one of those rare spots where you can't think of anything worse that can call but you are still ahead of everything in his range. I generally bet those spots though, if we can get a spazzcall every now and then we can show profit here. Laugh and make a note when he turns over AQ here, I probably note him for "slowplaying OOP when has the board locked up" along with "Don't thin value".

Raise it big, if he doesn't have the 8 it's likely a blocking bet that folds to a raise anyway unless its a min raise, but if he had the 8 it's hard for him to fold.
I would make it ~$6

 

[ScottishMatt]

Yeah I say about the same as Yoshi. He ain't folding an 8 here unless you shove, in which case he knows he is either chopping or losing. Just pot that son of a bitch and watch the monies roll in!

$7 OTT cool with you or are you betting less cause its thinner?

 

[Matt Vaughan]

In-game I prob snap-size it the same as you did... Looking at it now, going a little smaller may be better, but only because we'll have to fold sometimes, and I don't think the EV will change much against this player tbh. His range won't be as elastic.

His price makes me wanna call but I feel I'm like 100% dead nearly always and no matter the price...I'm not sure if calling is even an option. Sure he could have QQ/JJ/KK (I think he gets them in on the flop/turn anyway)? but I think he just checks those and although it could be a stupid blocker bet I feel he has Tx so much here given his value sizing and he wants me to call with exactly the range of hands I have and feels I can't resist.
