BBvBTN, decent draw turns weak top pair

[BorisTheSpider]

BTN is pretty loose and aggressive, verging on the maniac. Opens 50% of his buttons.

Playing this any different?

The only thing I would do differently is c/c OTT. If Villain is opening 50% of his buttons & is loose aggressive, then I'm going to let him hang himself and build this pot for me. A Villain like that would love this board because it gives him reasons to push. I can easily conceive a villain like this barreling 3 streets w/ a 10 or a 9.

I would c/f this river. I open 50% of buttons, and villains range has a TONN of flushes in it right now. Not to mention two pairs / straights that wouldn't have raised the turn due to flush coming.

Also if you're going to raise flops OOP, you gotta legit raise it. $4.50 or $4.75 to go.

I agree with c/f'ing river, but again I disagree with your sizing. I realise this is probably my problem. On flop I'm making it around x2.5, so $3.00-$3.25 seems about right. My reasoning for this is because the air in his range is folding ragardless how much we raise, while I don't expect an extra dollar or so to make him fold anything out that he calls for less. I don't want to make it so expensive to bluff.

Are you making it this big because you want it to look like you're setting up for stacks?

[griffey24]

Reviewing my other post: Yes I agree, $4.50 or so may be extreme, but I don't see anything wrong with $3.5-3.75 territory.

[griffey24]

I'm making it big because that's the size I would use with TTT/999/T9/666/78 and all my draws. If you make it $3 villain is getting around 3.5:1. That's pretty good odds on this type of board, when we're OOP.

I don't hate $3, but with our value hands when we're OOP we might want to make it bigger because we will be facing a lot of bad runouts where we may be prone to making mistakes. ie: villain will be in profitable spots when we check, knowing we will often be c/f.

Sure if the board is K73 rainbow, I can see some merit to making it smaller, but not on this board.
