weak overpair

Results 1 to 14 of 14
  1. #1

    Default weak overpair

    SB is a semi regular who runs 26/15 over 300 or so hands
    He is very passive preflop but aggressive postflop.
    He likes to call a bunch and he doesn't 3 bet much at all. (preflop)

    We've played a decent amount together on multiple talbes in this session and my image is probably pretty bad as I have folded a couple of times to shoves after I bluff raised post, double barrelled cbet etc...

    CO is a random fish running 30/10 no reads on him.

    Whats my line?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP ($211.85)
    CO ($235.55)
    Button ($469.25)
    SB ($243.30)
    BB ($181)
    Hero ($370.10)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with J, J.
    Hero raises to $8, 1 fold, CO calls $8, 1 fold, SB calls $7, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($26) 6, T, 9 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $18, CO calls $18, SB raises to $80, Hero?

    I let this go.

    I have to say I'm not really 100% sure it's the best play, but:
    - assuming we aren't cbetting this board very light
    - it's 3way
    - villain can call the flop with a draw with great odds

    I assume villain has a hand here very often.

    We only have a backdoor SD when we are beat and aren't a big favorite when ahead.

    getting my swell on
    i bet the flop more, like $22, and fold to his raise. i think at the very least he has a very nice combo draw. and top of his range is set/overpair. i wonder if he is capable of doing this with a hand like 77/88.

    I don't cbet this board light ever; however I don't know if he knows this.

    fold. either you are crushed or he has a ton of equity with a draw.

    I agree with this

    it'd be pretty hard to have a bare flush draw on that board

    I mean maybe sometimes you'll be right and look like a genius but most of the time (enough to warrant a fold) you will be kicking yourself in the end so just fold.

    snap fold. this is sets, 2p, straights. at best you are 50./50 to a combo draw
