Sorry scrouge i swapped midway through my sentence i'm sorry....

I agreed with you.

I just added the last part because i was being told that calling against decent players would just be burning money. Could be an area to save money for better spots.

 

[Matt Vaughan]

I don't play in these games, so I must have missed the part where we're playing against a decent player?? Idk if continuing is correct or not in these games, but I really doubt it's a snap fold or anything.

 

[youregoodmate]

We just want to end the hand? And assume any callers on the turn we giveup?

No we want to charge him to play. We have the nuts.

[mottotom27]

This is a clear 3 bet for value against villain's loose opening range. As played, bet a little more OTF. OTT you should bet at least 1.30 your bet is less than half pot, this misses value and screams of "I'm afraid of the flush". If villain's a good reg he may have picked up on this and x/r bluffed. But honestly I think that's unlikely in this situation. I can't think of any hand that villain would x/c flop OOP and then x/r turn that doesn't have you beat, reckon he hit his flush most of the time here. Fold turn, you're not really getting implied odds (to hit A or Q) even for a 2x raise.

 

[Matt Vaughan]

3betting the AQ here doesn't make any sense imo unless the opener will fold a ton and the cold-caller will flat a ton. UTG+1's range isn't going to be that loose in a FR game. We certainly aren't 3betting AQs for value. It could be a semi-value/semi-bluff since there is another player in the pot.

Bigger OTF, 65-75c imo. As played, $1.35ish OTT. He's still going to continue with far worse, and it's still a super straightforward bet/fold. As played, good fold OTR.

If opener was a nit in UTG+1 then definitely 3 betting is foolish but the opener was pretty loose for FR (27/19) so will be opening with a much wider range of hands from EP. Hence 3 betting for value here is perfectly fine to narrow down the field. I don't think flatting's too bad either tho, but I'd normally 3 bet here because ideally we'd like to be heads up when we have a strong hand.

w/o positional stats, 19 pfr most likely won't be wide enough for us to 3b AQo for value vs his UTG range

You can't assume that because his VPIP is wide (27%) that he's opening super wide from UTG+1. He's still only got a 19 PFR, which yes, is a LITTLE loose for FR, but it's not exactly super wide, and shouldn't make us think "ah yissssss mutha****in AQ betch."

Also I think you're vastly under-estimating how well our hand will play 3 or 4 way in position. We won't win the pot as often obviously, but we're still going to do just fine, and it's doubtful that 3betting improves on that, again unless UTG+1 folds a LOT to 3bets and we can isolate the cold-caller.

 

[mottotom27]

Actually you do have a point there, I often find myself in tricky spots with AQ (and JJ and AK too) in bloated pots, especially multiway. And you're right he's not particularly loose with fairly reggish stats so may not be opening too wide UTG. I think after reconsidering the situation, I'd be inclined to agree with you that calling is the best option. I still hold my opinion that the postflop betting is too weak though, should be betting 2/3-3/4 pot imo.

 

[Matt Vaughan]

We were in agreement there

 

[mottotom27]

Well that's good then

Hey guys, what do you think about this K high hero call? Is calling here standard?

MP - Hero ($2.00)
CO - CO ($0.87)
BTN - BTN ($1.92)
SB - SB ($2.18)
BB - BB ($4.21)

Preflop: ($0.03, 6 players) Hero is MP with Kd Jd
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.06, CO calls $0.06, 3 folds

Flop: 9h 9c Th ($0.15, 2 players - Hero: $1.94, CO: $0.81)
Hero bets $0.08, CO calls $0.08

Turn: 2s ($0.31, 2 players - Hero: $1.86, CO: $0.73)
Hero checks, CO checks

River: 2c ($0.31, 2 players - Hero: $1.86, CO: $0.73)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.30, Hero calls $0.30

Total Pot: $0.91
CO shows Qs 3h (two pair, Nines and Deuces)
Hero shows Kd Jd (two pair, Nines and Deuces - King kicker)

Hero wins $0.88

I thought there were way more combos of missed draws in his range than pairs and when he suddenly bet pot on river it kinda looked like he was trying to buy the pot, so easy call? But when I saw the complete trash he showed up with tho I was like LOL!

 

[Matt Vaughan]

Pretty bad, since tons of his air beats us. Axhh is probably his most likely holding here.

Also, screw "standard." Worry about making the most +EV play imo.

Most Ax hands will check back there so we do beat a lot of air.

Saying that I don't like the call. I bet the turn as well.

 

[mottotom27]

Yea i agree it was a pretty ambitious call, but I went with my gut, my gut said he was bluffing. But lol Q3!

Does anyone know about a free/cheap tracker for PLO?, it not matter if don't have a hud.

Saying that I don't like the call. I bet the turn as well.

Why would Ax pot the turn and then x back the river though? Maybe he doesn't have much Ax cause of potting the turn tbh. But I definitely don't put lots of random airballs into his turn potting it range.

I didn't notice the bet size until now Although we should really make a note now cause he floated pretty damn thinly here.

Easy fold . UTG has 235bb and CO raises to 300bb and i doubt he is such a douche to not see what kinda stack UTG has. Both of them stats are fishy but 2.4 AF is decent and even fishes dont raise that much with FD (at least i havent seen).
