OOP in large 3-bet pot

[bjsaust]

This is a part of a hand I posted in the beginners circle:


No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (BB) ($116.75)
MP ($66.60)
CO ($50.90)
Button ($110.50)
SB ($96.74)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K, A
MP bets $1.75, CO calls $1.75, Button calls $1.75, SB calls $1.50, Hero raises $10, 1 fold, CO calls $8.75, 2 folds

Flop: ($26.25) 10, 2, 4 (2 players)


Villain is something like 20/5 from memory. With a $26 pot, we're looking at say $15 for a c-bet. On a board where I just cant see him folding any PP, and figuring his range is made up of a lot of 88+ type hands, I feel like c-betting here is just burning money. General consensus was that c-betting should be standard here. Thoughts?

I'd c/f.

You're probably gonna have to barrel a lot to get him to fold so c betting and giving up would be terrible imo.

[bigspenda73]

quite a simple c/f methinks

PF seems slightly too big, I like $8

[thizzSantaCruz]

if you have a good image i dont mind barrelling. You have a back door flush draw and overs. C/f isn't bad either if the guys a huge station. like meeloche said its gonna take a couple of streets if you try to run a bluff.

cbets dont have to be a certain percentage of the pot. betting 7$ or betting all in are probably much better plays than betting 15 as you suggest

[Irisheyes]

I c/f with shove being the next best option.

Yeah tossing around thoughts on Nut's ideas (I thought posting an actual c-bet amount might be a mistake). Even though $7 gives us a great price on our bluff, on this kind of board thats the kind of bet I might make with AA to induce some spaz, so I dont like it here. Shoving is probably better, but thats still $40 to win $25 and I'm not sure how much more of his range it folds.

[griffey24]

I don't think betting 7 is going to get many worse hands to spaz. Maybe a flush draw, that has pretty decent equity anyhow. Besides, I'm pretty sure a huge huge part of his range are pocket pairs anyhow.

If we're betting $7 now, its to shove turn always.

I kind of like the shove idea, if he's capable of folding a pair.

[Irisheyes]

thats it really. Just ask yourself if there's any way to make him fold 88. If so do it and if not c/f.
