Yawn

Maybe this hand doesn t matter that much but it tilted villain hard (he had KK). He s been begging me to play HU, going on about what a huge donkey I am blahblahblah... He knows I m very loose pre in pos :

I ve bluffraised plenty of flops and been 3 betting and squeezing like a monkey pre. I ve shown down 46o in a 4 bet pot and made big bets on late streets only to fold to shoves and get berated by the entire table.


For the hand, all I m wondering about is the river. I snap-folded and maybe it s not even close but I just thought about this hand during a jog after my session and began wondering wtf his turn range is (he SNAPPED the turn for 130bb s). He s a reg at these stakes and my feeling is he s pretty straightforward, a bit fishy (not a deep thinker).

In the last hand we played he called my turnbet w A3o on K994 board (no FD on board) after I flatted his flop bet w QTo. I didn t bluff the riv. Earlier I CRAI bluffed the riv and he timed down and called me w JJ on K6429 board (I showed Q4s)

Why 3bet the flop this deep, instead of flatting IP?

yeah this for me as well.

because i m never getting 4 bet except for by the stone cold nuts (and i have blockers) and i want to keep my hand deceptive this deep in pos

but he's never c/ring and folding
what does your bet accomplish

what s the big deal if he calls?

there are a million bb s behind and i have position. i ll own his almost always.

and i think he s definitely bluff CR here some % of the time as well as CR/folding hands like 88 and 99.

After you 3bet flop and he calls OOP, what's your plan on a blank 9-J type card? Are you checking back for a free river?

Guess I'm trying to understand more of the merits for this 3bet, since it's a spot I always flat with stacks and never 3bet. If people are c/r 88-99 here and then folding, that's pretty ridic imo.

3betting the flop seems terrible.

As played clearly there's no other way line to take and yeah fold.

Also I don't see why 3betting keeps your hand more deceptive. Your flatting range of his 3bet is waaay wider than your 3betting range, so I feel like flatting keeps your range the widest.

3 betting extracts from FD's and doesn t mind getting called by the two lowest sets w about 38% equity.

it s just so different playing 430b s deep in pos and being able to apply lots of pressure. i d never 3 bet this 100 or 150 bb s deep because i wouldn t need to turn my hand into a bluff much. in this spot, i can 3 bet flop, bet turn and shove river with blockers to 57 and what s he gonna do? what s he gonna do with 333 or 444 if i pot turn and shove riv?

i don t have much experience this deep but it just felt right to 3 bet the flop. i ll have to think a little more about why. i just know that feeling i d never get 4-bet was crucial.

kind of hard to extract value from hands that are a favorite:

Board: 4d 6s 3d

Hand 0: 49.192% { 5h5s }
Hand 1: 50.808% { AdJd }

having the best made hand in position renders absolute equity much less important

How would you play this hand if you thought his range was 66/44/33? Why do you think you should play it any different with bluffs in his range? If he seriously is c/ring things here your losing to that he's planning to fold then lol, just play straight forward and take his money easily.

I actually kind of like the 3bet. You apply a ton of pressure to some of his legitimate value range, and as you said, he's never 4betting you. If you call, you are going to have to face a lot of gayness on the turn.

Your 100% positive he's not going to 4bet us with 66/44/33? That's a pretty hefty assumption to be making.

it s hard to know what goes on in the minds of these weird passive and bad villains but i m pretty sure that he s not 4 betting 33 and 44 for value.

i d just be very very surprised if he 4 bet FD's and 33 for value this deep. i mean this is the kind of guy who times down before getting it in w AK pre when ppl have been spewing...

yeah im sure he's 4betting top set and the nut straight plenty. I meant to say "he's very rarely 4betting you".

Does anyone actually think c/r bluffing the flop any sort of range greater than a fd is actually good here given what villain knows about hero?

I believe you said that bluffing really drawy boards with total air is not optimal, and if villain thinks so he has something he's not folding for a 3b on the flop

and I don't understand why he would raise 99 here either considering building pot with a marginal hand is retarded
