TPTK on a low board

    Default TPTK on a low board

    A situation that shows up every now and then, and I'm not sure what the best way to play is. Villains relatively unknown.

    stack sizes 9-handed:
    blinds 75/150

    Hero: 8k
    CO: 6k
    button: 7k

    Folds until the CO, CO raises 325, button calls, SB folds, Hero calls in the BB with A6o.

    Flop: 6c 3c 2d

    CO leads out for 660. Button folds. Hero?


    Tough spot with such a weak TPTK. What is our plan for the hand? Do we call or raise, and how do we continue on turn/river?

    b/f flop, c/c are both reasonable dependent on payout structure and opponent. c/f probably only if we're close to bubble and concerned he might be crazy agro.

    It might be weak but c/c flop and c/f turn, c/c river seems standard. b/f b/f b/f might be better overall but too agro for me in a 30bb mid-tourney spot.

    It's really annoying to read the HH you made. To make it easier to read, you should make it more clear what position the Hero is in when you list the positions. You should include Hero's hole cards before the action like a standard HH, and you should include pot sizes.

    c/c is prob good here.

    Fold or 3bet pre. As played vs an unknown with no history, just c/c.

    Knowing if you had the Ac would help people give you advice about a plan. You can feel much better about calling again on a Kc turn if you have outs

    It appears you have 53 BB. Fold ace rag pre flop OOP.

    Good point about donking. I'm trying to develop a better donking range atm. This could be a decent spot.

    there are 7 hands with a 6 in them I'd play before this one OOP calling a raise multiway.


    i lead for sure, continue on most turns and rarely bet river with < aces up.

    i am not a fan of the preflop call, think you will be dealing with negative implied odds

    what do you want to see on the flop an ace? a six?

    but given the situation, you may want to look at villians c bet and agggro factor if you have enuf hands

    if villian is aggro or cbets how bout a float and a turn stab

    c/c if its' cheap enough. c/f if it's too expensive lol a fold pre-flop is not out of the question ?
