A few 50NL hands

1. Villain is 40/0 over 10 hands and looks like a typical limp/calling passive fish from first impressions. I checked the flop by accident after zoning out through tirednes and thinking I was the bb in a limped pot (stop playing tired ffs!)

When he 3 bets this turn he has trips + I think a huge amount of the time. Easy fold on this river? I just can't stick any bluffs in his range here and there are more beter kings than worse ones in a standard preflop calling range and obviously 2 boats aswell. If i know he's bad enough to call preflop with like K6o+ then you could make a case for calling but I don't have enough info to know exactly which kings he flats preflop.

Thoughts?

2. Villain is 21/17 over 105 hands and has folded to 1/1 c-bets so far. He seems like a typical TAG reg so I think we can assume he isn't flatting to play fit or fold on all flops. This flop misses my range and I'm running like 26/22 so have a pretty active image so figured folding would be too exploitable since I have near the top of my range. I planned to call turn and re-eval river, is this an ok plan here?

3. Villain is 20/14 with a 3 bet of 12% over 120 hands. He's been 3-betting a ton from the blinds. This is the first time I've defended, think I folded to 1 of his 3-bets just before this hand.

I feel like his range is really wide he and will c-bet this flop all the time. He probably wont want to stack of without at least TT here given that I have TT JJ QQ in my range for sure. In other words, I think he folds very often here and probably isn't going to bluff shove ever.

hand 1 is the easiest call in the world imo

hand 2 river check is awful imo, i like the turn tho

hand 3 we could , fold flop, float flop, raise flop. in that order for me

Hand 1: I lead flop usually. You are c-betting a wide range here, typically. Against a 40/0 I'm often jamming turn to his raise. He has a mid PP here often and doesn't put you on a K. (there are also some players this is a snap fold, so player dependant I guess)

Hand 2: I prefer a small bet for value, maybe $14ish. But He doesn't call with worse anyway. I'd be surprised if his call pre and raise on flop wasn't an attempt to make a stand to keep you from running him over.

Hand 3: I like. But the flop hits such a narrow range(his and ours obv), and your basically commited if he shoves over you. So his past tendencies come into play here.

I don't think hand 1 is the easiest call in the world, but it's still a call imo. FD missed and he could be value shoving a worse king.

Hand2 I wanna 1/2 pot river.

Hand3 I'd like calling pre much more if we knew his postflop tendencies more. His 3b is pretty massive, though I guess a lot of 50NL regs size their 3bets too big.

I'd much rather float flop than raise. Raising flop seems a mistake like "raising for information". He should shut down on the turn with nothing & you can stab with about the same bet size as your raise then. Use your positional advantage imo.

Hand 1. Yeah I'd always bet this flop when I don't zone out and mix up the action.

Hand 2. I take the point about using my position. I wasn't sure about his barelling frequencies on this board, but was sure that his range was really wide to c-bet and he couldn't do any thing but fold most of it to what looks like a comitting raise from me. I feel I get owned by aggro opps in 3-bet pots where I take a passive line, so been trying to play back at weak ranges more. He probably doesn't barell turn too too often though so floating saves me a bet when he actually has it.

Perhaps folding preflop is better when we don't know more about his barelling frequencies. My fear of getting owned on the turn caused me to raise - probably not a great mentality. Although I defo don't want to fold on this flop because he has so much air here.

Hand 1 - just bet the flop. As played, snappp call

Hand 2 - meh, he probably rarely has a hand that will call you here. He might have like QJ/KJ sometimes, so I think a smallish half pot is good

Hand 3 - So much more of your range is continuing by flatting here than by raising. I'd float if I wanted to continue. He also seems aggro, wouldn't be surprised if he shipped overs on you here.

1) I guess I call on paper, I'm not super thrilled about it though I would have been paying pretty close attention to his timing on all his bets though which could very well make this a snap.

2) I usually b/c the turn because he never checks anything better on the turn but isn't likely to fire the river with air if you check. so just bet something to give him the opportunity to jam draws or something.

3) He could fold A high I guess. That's about all that folds that's better though. If you want to win the pot your gonna have a better chance by floating. Whats good about floating here is he's gonna barrel K and Q turns very frequently which is obv good for you.

Hand 1

1) We have massively underrepped our hand on the flop and then completely changed our line on the turn so who knows what the hell he thinks we have.

2) We are probably behind a lot, but we only need to be ahead 1/3 of the time to call. AK usually reraises us preflop. Hes probably bad enough to be playing some weak kings (unless the whole table is limping a lot). He really doesnt need to do this with a mid-PP / AA/QQ that often at all to make this a clear call.

I think its close, and at the time I think id fold, but looking at it now I think its a call.

Hand 2

The flop is so dry that Id probably just fold it. Perhaps it is exploitable, but Id wait for some evidence that this guy is prepared to exploit me before I adjusted. As played I think a river bet gets called a decent amount and I think we are almost never behind when he checks.

Hand 3

Im not sure. These kinds of flops invite disbelief. His range is huge so I expect you get a lot of folds. Also, given the history you are repping a much wider range of hands that will legitimately want to get it in here than you might usually be. I can see you having 88+ here quite happily. Im pretty sure raising is better than folding, but Im not sure if floating would be better. Its a scary as hell place to be 2 barrelling OOP when you havnt played back at him yet.

I didnt think about that. Thanks :D

Hand 1: I really dont see how we can get away with this hand. Especially that it is under repped. I suppose there are worse K's in his range. Maybe Kxs hands. If he has 22, then lesson learned. Dont zone out and not bets flopz :)

Hand 2: He is repping a pretty narrow range. I would guess pretty much sets and air. I think after he checks turn it could be a good spot to fire since you look super strong here. And I dont think hes ever not betting a set here. I dont really know if we are geting called by worse though. As played I prob check back river.

Hand 3: Given history PF is ok even though that is a mo foe of a 3 bet if you are very confident in your read. I think Flop Call>3bet>fold?
