3/6 50bb river spot

Results 1 to 10 of 10
  1. #1

    Default 3/6 50bb river spot

    villain is what i consider a 'meh' reg. 3bets a decent amount

    so he never has air on the river and never value bets worse therefore...easy fold? i cant see him ever having complete air given his c/c flop line and i dont think he would bet KK or less on river with this sizing..

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $6.00 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    BB ($277.20)
    UTG ($423)
    UTG+1 ($262.05)
    MP1 ($125)
    Hero (MP2) ($321)
    CO ($516.15)
    Button ($328.50)
    SB ($480.55)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J, A
    3 folds, Hero bets $12, 3 folds, BB raises to $42, Hero calls $30

    Flop: ($87) 4, 6, A (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $42, BB calls $42

    Turn: ($171) 5 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero checks

    River: ($171) 4 (2 players)
    BB bets $93, Hero ?

    seems like shoving is much much better than calling
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    this might be bad though since i m unsure what perceived 3-bet calling ranges are in these shallow-stacked games. 100bb s deep we could have plenty of nut hands (A5s A6s quads 5s full aces full 78s that bluffed the flop) but i suppose that s irrelevant if villain doesn t think that we re flatting wide in pos here.

    if you don t think villain will give you credit for a wide preflop peeling range then shoving is bad (seems like he ll always timebank-call AQ) BUT in my experience a "meh" reg won t be thinking all that accurately about preflop ranges and will instead convince himself that you called with a weak hand pre and have a monster by the river.

    the calling vs shoving question in this spot reminded me a lot of a much deeper-stacked hand i posted a while back... also an AJ vs a likely slightly better Ax hand in a strange spot :

    sick hand man.

    I think this spot differs though because in your spot you can rep a wider range of boats and stuff given the deeper SPR when calling pre whereas here for me I can't given stacks. If I was to play 44,55,66 I don't think I'd get credit for flatting them preflop since I wouldn't flat those hands with these stacks, and the A4/A6/78 hands I probably won't get credit for even though I can have them in my range. your idea is fucking awesome though. but i think i just never fold out AQ/AK vs this guy.

    ya like i posted earlier, my idea kind of sucks this shallow. i just feel like he has exactly AQ a huge percentage of the time and if he s not that bright and a little bit tight can convince himself that you wouldn t bluff this spot.

    so i guess if shoving isn t great then, yeah, just fold.

    I think calling is the worst option pre

    im pretty sure shoving is worse than calling:

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 73.394% 71.77% 01.62% 825841644 18680532.00 { JJ+, AQs+, AQo+ }
    Hand 1: 26.606% 24.98% 01.62% 287465580 18680532.00 { AJs, AJo }

    we are way better off jamming 22 for a bluff assuming he folds often enough to a 4bet:

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 62.635% 62.34% 00.29% 358681224 1677180.00 { JJ+, AQs+, AQo+ }
    Hand 1: 37.365% 37.07% 00.29% 213298560 1677180.00 { 22 }
