Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, J.
Hero raises, (supershortstack) 3-bets, 2 folds, SB calls, 1 fold, Hero caps, MP =#A500AF(supershortstack)/ calls, SB calls.

Flop: (13 SB) 7, A, 3 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, supershortstack folds, SB calls.

Turn: (7.50 BB) A (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.


My call reasons are two fold:
A) A raise tells him what my hand is. If he's betting just to see if I raise, well, there's his answer and he's out cheap with a bet/fold line. If I just call and pop a river, he pays the same and is less likely to threebet if he has me outkicked.

B) Ok I think theres only 1 reason there.

Hmm, I would say that is my most common line against typical opponents, but I think there is a key difference here. with 2 flush draws on board, there is a good chance that he is semi-bluffing a draw and will call the turn raise, but will check/fold the river. When this is the case, just calling the turn is bad IMO.

I like to raise this board HU with any pp 88+, and throw in 44-66 against maniacs.

FWIW, I think my call on the turn is blatantly obvious as well.

Mostly yes, it was to get the guy all-in. I was INCREDIBLY surprised that he folded. I think had $2 left, but this was a few days ago.

FWIW I'm pretty torn on AJs against a 3bet. Against this guy super short stacked, yeah I'll obviously cap when he's pushing his stack in. I don't know why he folded. It still doesnt make sense to me.

SBs call was unexpected, and it kind of threw me off. I'm not sure whether I should cap there following the almost-cold-call.
