    Default Massive station considers river rage-call

    I find spots like this difficult to deal with sometimes. Given the spazzy sizing pre, I wanna station this - does anyone strongly disagree?

    Villain is a zoom unknown.

    I feel like this should be a pretty easy call.

    Because of all the missed draws? Because of the spazzy preflop sizing? A combination?

    This is a tough spot. Some ppl who 3b small have just nonsense and others always have QQ+.

    I think it's OK to do this sometimes. I would normally fold the flop though. You're sometimes folding the best hand but it's just easier and you're never really gonna win a significant pot with less than top pair.

    Yeah it's pretty rare for me to station down this kind of hand, the spazzy sizing preflop was what inclined me to do it here, although his sizing postflop is more standard. Everything bricked here though, so there are good reasons to call I think (as well as good reasons to fold).

    My standard here would be to peel the flop and probably fold the turn, I don't think I often fold the flop in this spot. Maybe that's a leak? (I should probably answer my own question there and do some DB work on it). On this board (and runout) though, I think I'm probably more likely to station down than on pretty much anything else.

    I would fold the turn. If I call the turn, it's certainly not to fold a brick river.

    Would be tempted to jam against a competent reg. Against this guy in a 3bp, I'd just fold turn - villains don't tend to barrel in 3b pots at this stake in my experience without something that beats a middle pp.

    I wouldn't read too much into villain's sizing btw - he's clearly a weaker player.

    I agree with bonga
