25NL, A spot where I want to be an uber nit with KK.

Results 1 to 21 of 21
  1. #1

    Default 25NL, A spot where I want to be an uber nit with KK.

    UTG is 53/24 over 14 hands. MP is 19/13 and is yet to 3 bet over 20 hands.

    This 3-bet is celarly never a bluff and could even be a range as tight as [QQ-AA AK.] The probolem is that a cold 4-bet here looks insanely strong and will likelt fold out everything but AA and KK which I have terrible equity vs. I decided to flat for this reason.

    Now the flop is where I just wanna make an extremely nitty fold. I feel like there are exactly 2 hands he can commonly have here once he raises this lead on this board multiway - AA and QQ. AA seems more likely as someplayers don't 3-bet QQ vs utg opens much although I think vs this guy anyone should be. How abusrdly nitty is this fold?

    No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    CO ($38.30)
    Button ($22)
    Hero (SB) ($37.25)
    BB ($27.10)
    UTG ($14.90)
    MP ($25)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, K
    UTG bets $0.75, MP raises $2.25, 2 folds, Hero calls $2.15, 1 fold, UTG calls $1.50

    Flop: ($7) 8, 6, 10 (3 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $1, MP raises $4, Hero folds, 1 fold

    Total pot: $9

    Ok this looks fucking retarded now, I guess we should call flop at least, really not too happy about it though.

    Yeah I can agree with your 3bet call preflop. Postflop blah call but expect him to go all the way a lot which becomes gay.

    This is bad. You can raise all in preflop. Or at least on the flop.

    The thing is if you can't go all in with overs on this board then you are playing kk for set value only and for that you have no odds, so you should fold pre?

    !luck

    i hate all of it, i 4bet pre and on the flop

    and is yet to 3 bet over 20 hands.

    This 3-bet is celarly never a bluff and could even be a range as tight as [QQ-AA AK.]
    Unlikely to be a bluff, but I think assigning such a tight range based on 20 hands is silly. It just seems like you're calling a 3bet OOP and hoping to see an A on the flop so you can feel justified in folding.

    On the flop, I wouldn't be surprised if he's raising his entire range here. It's a $1 donkbet into $7, my standard response to small donkbets is always to raise them, they fold a billion percent of the time.

    I dunno, straight up, you're better at this than I am, but I think you're reading way too far into a twenty hand sample to make this kinda cautious play.

    Discussion, ho!

    On the flop there are some draws that will call you, which is why you shove it.

    Note the low SPR.

    Flatting also keeps the fish in the pot, which is really great, and keeps MP's range wide (which is wider than you think it is). As played, you should probably be 3-betting the flop and getting it in. Calling the flop is pretty bad.

    Well I wouldn't consider his pre-flop 3bet range that tight. After all he is isolating a 53/24 guy. His range must be at least 88+, KJs+, AJs+, AQo+ I assume. And I think he would raise this retarded 1/7 pot lead at least all the pairs in his range. He may raise with his draws too but I can't see many draws in his range since your Kh blocks most of them.

    good point. i think we can 3bet and get it in on this flop. had he 3bet a 11/9 nit's UTG open i would consider folding on the flop. as has been said, those stupid flop leads are made to be raised. i can see him doing that with almost all of his preflop 3b range.

    QFT. Players can run insanely hot/cold over small samples. I do not refer to my 3b% in my HUD until my sample is large enough to be reasonably accurate and/or I have seen some showdowns. It only takes a small sample and a run of cards for a nit to look like a LAG or a LAG to look like a nit.

    what belt said.

    But I don't think he is 3betting that light
    might just be JJ+,AQ+

    He's saying we should raise, call, or fold. In descending order of preference. He's also saying one of these options beats the hell out of the other two.

    Board: 5d 7h Ts
    Dead:

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 63.145% 61.48% 01.67% 109554 2970.00 { KK }
    Hand 1: 36.855% 35.19% 01.67% 62706 2970.00 { TT+, AKs, AKo }

    because he iso'd a fish i'm thinking his pf value range is TT+, and your hand is very under-repped. i like raising. even if the raiser is good enough to fold JJ or QQ to your c/r. you might get the fish in there with a ton of top pair, pair/gutterball hands, flush draws. and if the original raiser stacks off with all overpairs:
    Board: 5d 7h Ts
    Dead:

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 55.262% 52.99% 02.27% 69246 2970.00 { KK }
    Hand 1: 44.738% 42.47% 02.27% 55494 2970.00 { TT+ }

    you make a little bit of theoretical money there too

    btw i know thats not the exact board, thats just a quick stove i did to check your equity against TT+ after noting the flop texture (T high, all cards between 5-T)

    I would 4bet the hand preflop and be happy putting it all in the middle

    The 3bet is almost certainly not a bluff and as such villains range after 3betting a UTG open is probably something like {QQ+,AK}

    By 4betting, we are giving our villain a chance to play QQ and AK correctly (that is, by folding) and a chance to play AA correctly (by shoving - since you're calling every time). We're not forcing him to make any kind of mistake.
