Is 3betting really a great play vs him??? Granted its now fine since you've changed table dynamics alot (him calling light now).

After a while he was calling EVERY SINGLE 3-bet in position and then peeling any piece on any flop.

I probably should have adjusted by 3-betting tighter OOP (and to larger amounts) and still looser in pos, instead
of 3-betting a wide range OOP from the blinds. I should have 3-bet larger amounts to leave room for potsize shoves on the turn, and punish his wide flop peeling range.


This river should probably be a fold after I attempt to value bet my top pair.

As you mentioned I think a solid adjustment is to raise more pre OOP. £60 is perfect. Since he is already making huge mistakes just by calling pre tons we can make it cost him more. One problem though is we can sometimes out think ourselves by assuming ''he must of called now with a slightly better holding now''.

Im thinking I cud like a c/c here instead. What hands are we getting value from by betting?? Even tho we have v little credit for a hand in his eyes i feel we still arent gonna get a call from worse hands. b/f as played

This turn shove is pretty awful given that I probably have no FE. I should just flat if I want and shove rivers if I hit. This just shows how light he's peeling, even OOP on this board with two over cards even.

Very loose preflop, plus given how light he is calling shouldnt we adjust to 3bet more broadways and dominate his hands a ton more?

I dunno if opp is thinking but your unlikely to hold much after checking flop imo, we know he will call you a ton (id guess he wudnt fold a Jx here) so theres no reason to check back a flop with any made hand imo. i just let him have the pot on turn.

this is tricky since board is monotone, alsmot all his bluffs are truely semi bluffs which will call a shove!
