How bad is this 3-barrel?

Results 1 to 11 of 11

    Default How bad is this 3-barrel?

    After 50 hands, villain is running 25/19. No other reads.
    He snap called the flop, then called the turn after about 3 seconds.

    BTN is slightly loose and folds too often to cbets.

    I just can't see villain having a good enough hand here to call.

    Am I repping too small of a range on the river?

    $3/$6 No Limit Holdem
    5 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($668.00)
    Hero ($618.95)
    BTN ($665.45)
    SB ($612.00)
    BB ($600.00)

    Pre-flop: ($9, 5 players) Hero is CO
    UTG calls $6, Hero bets $27, BTN calls $27, 2 folds, UTG calls $21

    Flop: ($90, 3 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $62, BTN folds, UTG calls $62

    Turn: ($214, 2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $156, UTG calls $156

    River: ($526, 2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero goes all-in $373.95

    you've been aggressive the whole way. if you bet on the river what are you repping? i couldnt see you having the straight. could maybe see you having a flush if the river was a diamond?

    im putting him on AJ? or maybe J and a higher kicker?

    I really don't think a 25/19 has very many Jacks in his UTG limp range.
    Actually, most 25/19's don't ever open-limp, so this is kinda a strange hand.

    himself fucker.
    you look like you have a busted draw or JJ,99,88 or a rare QT combo. So, it's an ez call for him.

    I'd like to think this can be much wider for value?

    JJ,99,88,J9,J8, QQ,KK,AA, AJ,33,QT ...

    I don't know. This is read dependent. If he's capable of making a river fold then I don't think its too bad. He'll have a tough call with 9T, JT, QJ, T8.

    This really isn't a very good card to double barrel though. All those hands listed above are all calling this turn, so I think if you're gonna double this you should triple it. Otherwise just shut down after flop I'd imagine.

    getting my swell on
    odd that a 25/19 open limp/called from utg. you think it was a misclick? like griff said, i just shut down after the flop. seems like a pretty bad card to continue on.

    flattin ur 4bets, makin u tilt
    i c/f flop most of the time but as played i like it. And lol at only repping a set+ here, he's way more likely to have AJ-AA

    I hate to use a cliche, but if he's calling the turn isn't he calling that river? I'd also like to know what an UTG limp means before I try this.

    And wtf are you doing at 3/6?? This means I have to start taking shots at 2/4 already.

    I don't think he's calling the river just cause he called the turn.
    On the turn, there are so many mid-pair + straight/flush draw type hands that are calling the turn a lot and most of these hands miss on the river.

    I agree with Griffey that if I am going to double barrel here, then I have to triple and that was exactly my thoughts at the time.
    The reason I doubled here was because he called the flop so fast, I put him on a draw or a weak made hand.

    Haha I've been playing 3/6 for a while now, but I am very stingy with table selection and there are hardly ever good tables running. At certain times of the day, there are actually zero 3/6 tables running.

    I am going to be taking shots at 5/10 soon, so you better move up to 2/4 asap :P
