25nl 6 max KK and weird bluff

[yourfather]

These might be some FPS, not too sure. All comments welcome.


Hand 1
Decided to flat KK from SB against relative unkown. Hoping BB squeezes or folds.

Flop misses most of their ranges so I am planning to c/r to get value out of 99+ flush draws will prob bet too and I have the Kc as a blocker.

Then madness ensues.

Hand 2
Decided to 3 bet standard looking blind steal with suited Ace. Leading the flop is prob dumb but it might get him to fold a low pair. maybe AQ, AK but doubtful.

Turn is unlikely to help him but I could easily have a big hand now so I c/rai.
I think he has AQ/Ak alot here.

1. I think you gotta call. Prolly up against overpair, set or flush draw in some combo. At least u got the runner runner on top of the usual 2-outter to improve.
2. I has spewed many chips OOP getting attached to what I originally see as an ATS... and by the time you've CBet, you got almost 1/4 of your stack in the middle. In this case, you're hands only good as a bluff by the time you hit the Turn, so calling is totally useless as it will still commit you. So it's shove or fold. I prolly check/fold as I really don't have shit (even if the Ace spikes on the river, according to your range, I'm dead...) and I'm not convinced he folds enough after calling your 3bet, 3/4 flop and then passing on the oppty to pot control and check thru the Turn to make this the kinda spot I wanna toss my stack into.

This makes sense but the average 25nl player doesn't understand pot control and almost always think a turn check means that someone is giving up and they quite often try to pick up the pot there despite having a hand with showdown value. That's what I felt was going on here and thought he could lay down AK/AQ and sometimes mid pairs after hsi turn stab didn't work.

hand 1: what you're doing there preflop is not going to work in NL25 since BB probably doesn't know what a squeeze is

hand 2: people who want you to fold don't bet half pot

I don't think betting river is smart in hand 2 on a lot of river cards. So I amend my original advice to c/f both streets.

Yeah I don't expect him to squeeze trash but him folding is fine. I like seeing a heads up flop as people stack of with tptk alot.
