AJ 3 way vs fish and reg.

Results 1 to 10 of 10
  1. #1

    Default AJ 3 way vs fish and reg.

    CO is a 23/18 reg with a 3-bet % of 11.8% over ~100 hands.
    BB is a 41/8 tard fish

    The regs range for calling this flop is probably Axs flush draws and sometimes sets and 2 pairs etc. Not sure whether he 3 bets AQ here, but would imagine he does a high % of the time.

    Not sure about my turn bet. I wanted to allow both to keep calling with Ax, but I'm offering awesome odds to fds and the fish probably can't fold Ax to a 2/3 pot sized bet anyway.

    On the river I want to call since I find it fairly hard to believe the reg isn't raising this turn with sets 2 pairs etc His range must be somewhat weighted to missed diamonds here. Note I have the Ah so block all Axhh hands. Call river?

    I really hate your turn bet-sizing here, but you've already mentioned that so I won't beat a dead horse. For the record, I like a ~$19-$23 bet there.

    Also, since you LOVE to nitpick at sizing, I'll mention that I'd make the flop bet a TEENY bit bigger. $7-$8 sounds about right.

    With him to your left, do you have any history with him we should know about?

    On such a board with your shitty turn sizing, villain almost has to raise his set/2-pair range as you said. And again, like you said, he's betting a lot of missed draws especially since he may have seen your bitch turn bet as weakness. I call.
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    Yah flop could be a bit bigger, doubt it changes the fish's calling range much at all.

    I hate my turn bet too I mean the fish still wont fold Ax for like 2/3rds pot and the reg can still call with fds.

    Agree about the river thus far.

    Think we have to call river coz our range is pretty weak after that turnsizing, he can be trying to bluff out our AXs or JJ type hands.

    Don't see him having many better value hands on the river (besides maybe 7x), sets usually raise flop/turn since the fish won't be able to fold flush draws/Ax. AK/AQ 3bet pre a large % and A4/A3 got counterfeited.

    Call and facepalm when he has 65dd.

    65dd (as sets) has to raise turn.

    I feel like your standard bet is about 1/3 pot. Why?

    Call, can't put him on a hand besides AQ that is beating you, and I don't think him not being able to rep much obvious to him.

    Ax flush draws on the flop are a little tough to have on an Axx two tone board. I think the hand needs to be rethought out and the bet sizing kills me. When they bet this river is it because you looked weak or he was letting you stay in the hand?
