UTG is 20/12 over 61 hands; MP is 43/12 over 248 hands; CO is 57/13 over 65 hands. I kind of feel this would be a semi-decent spot to two-way bet having UTG fold out most of his PP and AQ with one of the donks either folding or calling with worse while IP. How bad is this?

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

UTG ($52.75)
MP ($256.90)
CO ($69.25)
Hero (Button) ($71.05)
SB ($69.85)
BB ($100)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A, J
UTG raises to $2, MP calls $2, CO calls $2, Hero raises to $11, 3 folds, MP calls $9, 1 fold

Flop: ($26.75) J, K, 7 (2 players)
MP checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($26.75) 10 (2 players)
MP checks, Hero checks

River: ($26.75) 6 (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $11

MP folds 67% to cbets btw. Aggression = 2.6. I'm sure postflop is wtfbad. I was just trying to gain value on the river. Do we bet flop or turn? If we bet on any of the streets, how large should we make it?

wait whats wrong with postflop? preflop the reraise is retardo-big

[kmind]

Yeah thought about that as well. What would you make it? 8ish?

[ATOTHEC101]

postflop is fine, u need to be v betting against this guy who has a fairly wide range going to the river, most of which you beat. Agreed that preflop 3 bet is way too big, 4x his original raise is easily enough.

[Irisheyes]

Not really a fan of preflop. The raise is too big for a start but I also think UTG is too tight and I'd much rather have 84s or something.

well, pot would be 10, but I bet less than pot when I raise IP

who likes "some amount below 10" for preflop?

[Toadstool]

lots of people bleed away money with betsizing, usually because when they raise they make it far to large, when raising smaller would accomplish the same thing but save you $$ when you have to fold.

make it ~8 preflop

If he calls 8, he'll call 11. Also gives slightly more room for some postflop play, which is always good.

He prob has a pp < tens, so id bet ~1/2 pot turn and 1/4 pot on river to try and squeeze out some value.

I agree with this, but mostly because we have position. People will be less likely to tag along light OOP anyhow so we can just make it a bit cheaper.

If we were OOP here I wouldn't mind 10-11 though.

Postflop I like. He probably has a midpair type hand here very often.

I'd just call preflop, rest is good. I assume he showed QQ? That will happen sometime.
