3 Medium Sized Pots vs 3 Medium Sized Fish.

Results 1 to 6 of 6
  1. #1

    Default 3 Medium Sized Pots vs 3 Medium Sized Fish.

    1. Villain is 49/13/2 over 70 hands. He limp/calls preflop a ton and is pretty stationy postflop aswell. Folds 40% to c-bets.

    Flop isn't super wet so I figure it misses enough of his preflop calling range to c-bet and I can fold out A high (possibly) I might elect to check back since this isn't the sort of player I want to fire multiple barrels at since he has a hard time folding pairs.

    I bet smallish on the river since there are often now 2 over cards to lots of his 1 pair hands and I don't wana skew his calling range towards slow/passively played better hands although there's got to still be plenty value here right?

    2. Villain is 40/26/12(3bet) over 70. He's spewy, erratic and stationy looking. In a previous hand he opened 86s utg got 3 callers and c-bet A83 and got 2 callers. He checked the T turn through then made a weird near psb on a 3 river.

    I think he can be bluffing this river fuckloads if draws brick, but this card nails some draws and makes him a good few 2 pair hands. I'm only hoping he's turning another weak pair into a bluff if I call, but idk. The fact he left $1 behind kind of made me want to call since the instinct would be shove with a made hand, but there's just so much that beats me now, idk.

    Edit: shit I didn't notice at the time quite how good my odds were here given stack sizes, this is probably an easy call given my read.

    3. Villain is 27/8 over 62 and calls a wide range out of the blinds.

    Flop seems like a very standrad c-bet. On the turn I think his range is still pretty wide so I can fold out some pps, build a pot with a good draw incase I make my hand and also expect to win some of the time at SD when he has a passively played draw. I don't expect this guy to be raising me too often either. Turn seem okay?

    River, I'm just checking back here hoping he has a busto draw and A high is good. I don't see what better hand he'd fold if I shove after playing turn this way.

    Hand 1 - yah this is good. Think the sizing is fine too, though maybe a tad smaller on the turn if he's the type to get scared off by flushes.

    Hand 2 - I think folding river is fine/close. There's not much you beat anyhow and he could be betting so small with two pair, and worried about the straight/flush.

    Hand 3 - Yah this is good. I wouldn't bet the river, your hand could be good and he could be trying to bluff catch vs the exact type of hand you have. He could also be hoping you bet with Qx so that he can c/r a flush/boat.

    1) fine by me

    2) If all his straight draws didn't get there on the river I'd be snapping but folding is probably good here.

    3) yeah just give up on river.

    Not Giving In
    I agree with everything so far but in hand two should we not be betting bigger on the turn? Like $14?

    all are fine and standard, and Kmind your right $14 looks better on turn for hand 2.

    nice hands, i think calling in hand 2 is ok as well. He probably has KJ just as much as QJ and fish will show up with j10/q10/k10 blocking the river (even though it's a big bet) some of the time.
    Family Cruise IMO
