You really manage to get yourself in tricky spots zook, but I don't think you can make a huge mistake here.

I probably think fold because there is almost no hand that you dominate (except KT, JT no diamond) and you won't like your hand unless you hit one of the four kings or jacks left. I would estimate your equity at very close to 50% here though which is why folding is a bit weak. Interested to hear other thoughts...

i think it's a fold and agree with P4s.

Even if you boat up you probably won't stack him.

Of course not, but your turn and river skills can make a call +EV for you, even when it might be -EV for most others. This is the same thing as calling a reraise with small PP's OOP preflop: it can be a good play for you, but a loosing play for most others.

I do think this is a close one though, and if villains stats were any less optimal I would certainly feel a lot better about calling here.

ok to rephrase, i hate betting flop in the first place if u aren't calling a raise. I think its best to polarize your betting range on this flop so you aren't exploited as much.

I don't think it makes much sense for this situation, since he's probably pushing the same range that he's betting on the turn.

Isn't that pretty much a bluff.


I'm a nit but I'd probably fold and I think betting the flop is the best move, but checking aint bad either.

id usually call and check/eval and am pretty sure thats right and checking flop is bad

this deep we quantify the "mistake" of calling (even if hes never bluffing) as pretty small, but the mistake of folding when he has a hand like KT is pretty large.

if we are calling 105 to fold or incorrectly stack off on a ton of turns thats a huge mistake no?

Also KT (and other hands we dominate) are a minuscule part of his range compared to hands like AdX 9d9 etc that have excellent equity vs us, not to mention made hands that have us raped.

I think u need to be intimately aware of his range and his bluffing frequency here in order to come out ahead, and you are never gonna be aware of these things in a spot like this that doesn't come up all that often, without a ton of history.

so we are calling in good faith that villain will shut down enough on river and/or our hand will hold up enough for us to win back our 105?

Villain should have a high bluff % in this spot if he's any good + respects you.

nb: Do we need to have a 3b/f range here? Let's say 380/fold..

i m pretty sure hands we are 3-bet folding should be very very polarized unless we think villain will never ever semi-bluff shove with the bare Ad
