I'm probably folding almost 100% this river jam vs regs. But don't know if it's ev+ calling vs this guy. another crappy river. He could have anything tbh. Any Ax or pure air.

I hate reading hands in this format. You need a better database.
River fold is fine, but I'm leaning towards a turn shove. Just because there's enough draws out there this guy will have, and some second best hands he might call w/ as well since he's just clicking buttons.

It's a call, on the turn, but it's probably a fold on the flop. The reason being is the guy is a fish, the A hits your range, and there's no sense in raising w/ worse Ax there. That's not something fish typically do. You're in a trickier spot against a regular there where you should be calling, but in this spot, I think it's a fold against a general fish population.
I almost never ask, but what did he end up having?

If I had to bet my poker bankroll I would have put it all on low made flush.
My advice when you get into a similar spot like this again is, just remember, if you folded EVERY single time a fish raised you here, you'd save money in the long run. Every once in a great while, they'll have a bluff, but on the whole we're looking at strong made hands 98% of the time.
Don't worry about being exploited by a fish. It's a non-issue.

Had a really bad day yesterday. Got rivered pretty brutally on higher stakes. But I'm assuming all these hands are close to being standard spots?

I wrote this up today because there was a thread on another forum that went on for quite some time where everyone was really confused on what GTO poker was. They were all using solvers and talking about these ranges (in some cases for years), and still not understanding what GTO play really meant.

In this thread, no. The coaching in this thread is pretty much all holdem.

3-bet squeeze larger pre. That's way too small. Needs to be 15+.
Bet the flop, it's s 3-bet pot w/ an UTG player call. Why are you checking?
Bet more on the turn. River is a call.
Prefer a flop call, but a raise is fine. With what's left, turn is std. What was your question exactly?
Why another flop check? River is a fold unless you've seen this guy turn a lot of bluffs.

Aren't their calling ranges way too weak in this spot. So betting top set 3way 3bet pot didn't make much sense. Specially since we don't need that much protection
John A

UTG open, his 3-bet calling range should be fairly strong. Your sizing is going to reduce their range a bit, but still, even though you have top set, you want to c-bet to get value from all pairs. Your top set is a K, so you're only getting 2 streets of value if an A hits on the turn any ways. It's better to just bet here w/ your whole range.

Not beating myself up about indifferent river decisions but I'd like some input on just how aggro someone needs to be to call them down. And my thinking here is that because he is more aggro than usual then he is more likely to have just been barreling overcards and backed into a K as a result anyway.
