100-200nl - Hands

Hand 1

BTN is a 25/21 reg over 6.5k hands. 8% overall 3bet, 10% (19/200) BTN v CO. Overall fold to 4bet of 58% (19/33). BTN 3bet/fold versus CO of 60% (3/5).

BTN: $137.94
SB: $115.81
BB: $335.75
UTG: $157.53
Hero (CO): $104.50

SB posts SB $0.50, BB posts BB $1.00

Pre Flop: (pot: $1.50) Hero has T:club: T:diamond:
fold, Hero raises to $4.00, BTN raises to $11.00, fold, fold, Hero raises to $24.00, BTN raises to $137.94 and is all-in, Hero calls $80.50 and is all-in

I opened 4x here as BB was a 31/9 fish. Against a guy 3betting 10% here, what should my value 4bet range look like? TT+/AK? Thoughts on how often we should be 4bet bluffing versus this guy?

In this particular situation of me opening 4x (larger than my standard 3x) should I weight his 3bet range more towards value, as he could recognize my larger sizing due to fish in the BB?

----------------------
Hand 2

Villain is 71/14 over 15 hands. Haven't seen anything from him postflop

CO: $97.00
BTN: $265.22
Hero (SB): $200.00
BB: $105.90
UTG: $200.00
MP: $211.80

Hero posts SB $1.00, BB posts BB $2.00

Pre Flop: (pot: $3.00) Hero has 8:diamond: 8:heart:
fold, fold, CO calls $2.00, BTN calls $2.00, Hero raises to $14.00, fold, CO calls $12.00, fold

Flop: ($32.00, 2 players) 2:diamond: Q:heart: 7:heart:
Hero bets $24.00, CO raises to $83.00 and is all-in

I isolated large from the SB here given he seems bad, and the BTN limper was also rather loose. 7x fine?

Postflop I really have no idea what my plan should be here. Just bet/fold? Cbet smaller?

----------------------
Hand 3

Same villain that caused me to open 4x in Hand 1. He was 40/9 at the time of this hand over 40 hands. He has an aggression frequency of only 13%.

Hero (CO): $109.63
BTN: $38.63
SB: $125.45
BB: $118.54
UTG: $130.25

SB posts SB $0.50, BB posts BB $1.00

Pre Flop: (pot: $1.50) Hero has K:spade: Q:spade:
fold, Hero raises to $4.00, fold, fold, BB calls $3.00

Flop: ($8.50, 2 players) K:club: 5:diamond: 6:diamond:
BB checks, Hero bets $7.00, BB calls $7.00

Turns: ($22.50, 2 players) Q:club:
BB checks, Hero bets $19.00, BB calls $19.00

Rivers: ($60.50, 2 players) 9:diamond:
BB bets $38.83, fold

Fine? Do we fold all diamond rivers?

--------------------
Hand 4

Villain is the 25/21 reg in Hand 1. Fish just sat out. Have him at 77/67 over only 43 hands of HU.

Hero (BB): $133.26
SB: $102.00

SB posts SB $0.50, Hero posts BB $1.00

Pre Flop: (pot: $1.50) Hero has 6:club: 6:spade:
SB raises to $2.00, Hero calls $1.00

Flop: ($4.00, 2 players) 3:diamond: 8:club: A:club:
Hero checks, SB bets $2.53, Hero calls $2.53

Turns: ($9.06, 2 players) 3:club:
Hero checks, SB bets $5.74, Hero raises to $16.00, SB calls $10.26

Rivers: ($41.06, 2 players) 7:spade:
Hero checks

Should I just be folding flop with a hand that is as vulnerable as 66 here against an aggressive competent player since I'll get barreled too frequently?

Is turn just retarded? I really only rep a flush, but other than hands I'm turning into a bluff what else am I c/c, c/raising with?

Not sure if I should try to continue on the river, or not. I figured no, since he could definitely be flatting turn with flushes, AA, 88, 33, A3, A8, 3x, or strong Ax that aren't folding.

-----------------
Hand 5

Same 25/21 reg as the other hands. Has a 24% call steal in BB, 10% 3bet from BB.

Call cbet on F/T/R of 46/52/22.

Hero (BTN): $100.00
SB: $151.59
BB: $123.25

SB posts SB $0.50, BB posts BB $1.00

Pre Flop: (pot: $1.50) Hero has 6:spade: 6:heart:
Hero raises to $3.00, fold, BB calls $2.00

Flop: ($6.50, 2 players) 4:club: 2:diamond: 2:club:
BB checks, Hero bets $4.00, BB calls $4.00

Turns: ($14.50, 2 players) 8:diamond:
BB checks, Hero bets $9.18, BB calls $9.18

Rivers: ($32.86, 2 players) 8:spade:
BB checks, Hero bets $17.00

Is river too thin? Sizing fine?

Hand 1 - seems fine assuming he can shove light
Hand 2 - I'd prefer to b/f if I cbet smaller, now this kinda sucks, it's close
Hand 3 - close, probably a fold but I always stubborn call
Hand 4 - I don't know.. hand just went HU? I feel like ppl get stubborn here and call light
Hand 5 - I'd bet a bit smaller and hope to get called by Ax

I feel like regardless of my action I'm going to be put in somewhat of a shitty spot at some point in hands like this. If I cbet this size, and get shoved on it sucks, and I'm unsure of if it's a bet/fold or bet/call. If I cbet smaller, and get shoved on, I can fold. But the times I get called, there are so many turn cards I'm unsure what to do on, and probably end up check/folding on.

I usually do the stubborn call here also, but given it was the 9d, completing the flush and 87 straight draw, I was able to fold.

I should have posted hand 5 first, as the fish in hand 5 had just sat out a hand or two ago, leaving us HU. We both stayed around playing in hopes of the fish sitting back in. We typically don't sit HU and play each other when tables break and fish leave.

Looking at it from his perspective, there doesn't seem to be much on the turn that I'd check/call, then check/raise with as a bluff, other than like 54s, and hands I'm turning into a bluff here (87/66/etc).

I was hoping $17 was small enough for Ax calls. What sizing would you prefer?

1. I'm more inclined to think of it as strength.
2. I make it $10-$12 preflop, 7x seems so big; you have a reason? Flop b/c $18
3. I don't think we fold Kd or Qd here ;)
4. Yeah probably dump it on the flop. His stats tell me he's crazy aggro so be sure to try and catch him in a bluff but your hand here is so vulnerable.
5. Looks ok

As an aside, I really don't know how to go about figuring out what sort of adjustments, along with frequencies, I should use to best exploit someone I have a lot of hands on. For instance, the reg in these hands is one of the more difficult regs I encounter, and he seems to give me a lot of trouble. I have around 6.5k hands on him, but other than guessing, I'm still unsure with things like how frequently I should be 4bet bluffing him Co v BTN, or what my 3bet range BTN v CO should be, and so on. I just seem to do it in the moment, rather than come up with a range that I choose to 3bet/4bet against him as a default in that scenario. And I know I'm not doing it anywhere close the frequency that I should be doing it.

How do I use the stats/reads I have to formulate a more intelligent manner in which to exploit him?

I'm interested in this also. Personally I'd go look at his hands that went to showdown and how he played it to see if I can find anything exploitable, but there are probably decent ways to do it from stats more quickly.
