Less than 50 hands on villian so no reads.

Ok so i decided just to call as i was gonna play the rest of the hand OOP, and even tho they betting really small its still a 3-bet. So decide to take a sort of fit-fold line with the added value of the extra player for when i "fit". Any thoughts on this ?

Ok so now i have hit my TpTk 3 ways on a drawy board. What does his min raise IP mean most of the time ? What line is best here and why?

Poker Stars $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players

UTG: $21.70
MP: $7.40
CO: $2.65
BTN: $5.85
SB: $10.05
Hero (BB): $10.00

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is BB with K A
UTG raises to $0.20, MP raises to $0.50, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.40, UTG calls $0.30

Flop: ($1.55) Q K 9 (3 players)
Hero bets $1.10, UTG folds, MP raises to $2.20, Hero raises to $9.50 all in, MP calls $4.70 all in

Turn: ($15.35) T (2 players - 2 are all in)

River: ($15.35) 9 (2 players - 2 are all in)

Why do you raise all-in here? Is it for value? What worse hands can possibly call your all-in bet? A king with a jack kicker will not be calling that all-in. Remember, that is the object of a value bet. You want worse hands to call. This is a bad value bet.

Is it a bluff? What better hands are folding? Again, that is the object of a bluff. You want worse hands to fold. You may get two pair to fold, you may get a set to fold, you MAY a straight to fold (not very likely) but you probably won't get a flush to fold. So it's a bad bluff.

There was no reason for you to go all-in here. The 50 hands you have may tell us something of how he's playing. I fold here without any reads.

That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

i would have raised 3x pf first of all and going all in here just seems like kamikaze poker to me. you could get the same info if you just raised him to $5 and not lose your whole br if your crushed.

I personally would have raised up the action preflop and get UTG out of here. You may have gotten all the information you needed with that raise. He reraised a raise from UTG so I'm going to have to say MP is mighty strong here.

I don't hate the bet on the flop...but I'm gonzo when I see a raise and that flop.

That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

thats really villain dependent for me. how tight is this guy (i know you have no stats but do you have a initial read?) i'd probably shove if someone came over the top with no reads and keep my fingers crossed.

You are starting most of your post with "Less than 50 hands on villian so no reads."

Are you 24-tabling? you should have some sort of a read even with less than 50 hands. I mean, what kinds of hands he has shown so far, has he raised pre or not, is he passive, agressive, a station, whatever. I mean, you probably cant soul read this villain yet, but some sort of a read you should have.

Also, reads are not only villains stats. I particularly dont use a HUD, and a lot might argue against that, but the cool side is you get used to take a lot of notes and rely on your reads.

At the moment after every 200 hands i have on a villian i go through all his hands in HEM that went to showdown and complile notes on him.

I admit tho that for those first 200 hands i dont make much notes on villian and rely for the most part on my HUD.

^^^^^^^^^^^Thats what I meant.

The "50 hands so no reads" in EVERY SINGLE ONE of your threads looks kinda lazy. I know this sounds harsh, i dont mean it. I just wanted to point out that you SHOULD have reads on these guys.

50 hands is at least 30 minutes of play. If you've played with a guy for 30+ minutes, you should have some idea of how he plays. You're missing out on what is pretty much free money by just playing blindly for 2+ hours until you have 200 hands on a guy.

i don't personally 4bet here because we have to fold to a 5bet so often (unless opponent is completely bonkers i'm almost never stacking off w AKs preflop at these stakes because we're never dominating and we're often dominated and almost always a slight underdog). also remember that AKs plays fine in multi-way pots, so i don't think we need to just blow everyone else out of the hand.

i blow at monotone flops but wtf to the 3bet all in. i personally c/c because we're WA/WB, but i don't think this is the right play. if he checks i'm betting almost any turn (a spade as a bluff, a non-spade as an under-represented value bet).

EDIT: just realized you weren't the pre-flop raiser. now i can say with confidence that i'm checking 199% of the time and calling most of the time dependent on bet sizing (if he bets <1/2 PSB then we have a decision).

folding PF is bad, it's only 5BB's, it's not like it went .40>1.40 and we called.

I would have 4bet

Okay so as played preflop is the c/c line the best on this board 3 ways as recommended by a previous poster.

yo, son! i'm not just some "a previous poster"

if you can justify another line to me i'd consider it, but as of right now donking doesn't make any sense, c/r turns your hand into a bluff and i'm not even going to dignify c/f

JKDS is on a distinguished road
id stop treating it as a 3bet preflop honestly. the initial 3bet is just a bit larger than normal and could be due to a wide range. Id expect AJs to "3bet" here for instance as well as 99 and KQo. This is only because the initial bet was a minbet, which from utg could mean a small pocket pair, a weak hand that he shouldnt be playing from utg but cant fold (QJs?) or a monster. Not as concerned about monster...but its still possible, and i think this is the way most players see it at 10nl.

So, i like a 4b pre to like 1.30 or so. I fold to a 5b from utg and probably from the other player as well. I expect to be called alot more often though.

Pre-flop is badish.

Post-flop is suicide.
