Villain is 8.5/0/0.3 over 47 hands and is classified as very tight and passive on pokertableratings. He is winning at 3bb/100 over 100000+ hands.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop | saw showdown

Hero (UTG+1) ($2.43)
MP1 ($2.82)
MP2 ($2.94)
MP3 ($1.38)
CO ($1.91)
Villain (Button) ($2)
SB ($1.24)
BB ($1.46)
UTG ($2.77)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A, A
1 fold, Hero bets $0.08, MP1 calls $0.08, 3 folds, Villain calls $0.08, 2 folds

Flop: ($0.27) 3, 4, K (3 players)
Hero bets $0.18, 1 fold, Villain calls $0.18

Turn: ($0.63) J (2 players)
Hero bets $0.50, Villain raises to $1.52

Preflop he calls on the button, I'd put him on AJ+, KJ+, 22+. I don't exclude AA, KK and QQ given his stats.

I cbet the flop to get value from his kings. He calls. KK,44-33,AKs,KJs+,AKo,KJo+

With the Jd on the turn, I now realize that I have only 50% equity against his range, so maybe I should not have bet.

After his raise, there is reason to think we are crushed. What's your play?

Another case that shows how bad 100bb stacks are for playing overpairs or top pair hands... Maybe I should become a short stacker...

Fold and feel pretty good about it. Betting or not betting is debatable I guess just cause of how small his range is. I think I would take the same line though. Definite fold in my book though.
[00:29] <daven> dc, why not check turn behind
[00:30] <DC> daven
[00:30] <DC> on my hand?
[00:30] <daven> yep

It's a fold, and a pretty clear one iyam. He's a nit, he called PF. These two things indicate to me a set about 75%+ of the time. Other times, he's going to have KJ, combo draws, pair + draws, etc. He's not going to be raising a lot of hands that we're ahead of. MAYBE AK, but other than that you're wtfcrushed.

i agree with dranger, except i doubt this guy is even raising AK. not after you bet the turn. i'd probably prefer checking the turn against this guy because i think you're more likely to get river value than if you flop/turn barrel. the only hands in his PF calling range that you get value from betting the turn are KQ,AK.

Yeah, I spewed shoved here. At the time I played the hand, my reads were not as clear as I presented here, but still, I should sit on my hands before hitting that max button...

Seen so many silly plays at 2NL though, it's hard to fold AA...

Im not even sure Kqo is part of his range. One he calls our flop bet i put villain on AK or a set. I greatly discount AA and KK most nits are gonna reraise us pre-flop with those hands. So i say his range seeing the flop is 22-qq AKs-ATs Ako-AQo Kqs-KTs and qjs.


Once he call our flop bet he has either AK or 33 or 44 he has a 16 percent chance of having 13.5 percent chance of having AK and around a 7 percent chance of having a set so his range is weighted signifiganty to tptk. As far as betting or checking the turn goes i'm not sure if one is really better then the other.

I would have just shoved the flop.

He probably had king jack and hit two pair.

I probably would have raised just a little more preflop but that's just me.

cause most nits i know don't call raises with any less then TPTK . Even if he does have KQ it doesn't really change our decision or at least
it shouldn't.

Yes, that is exactly what it comes down to. Assuming he is a sensible villain, if he had TPTK, I say he would have raised the flop. It would not make sense that he raises the turn with AK if he did not raise the flop. Most likely same if he had KQ: if he does not raise the flop, then it doesn't make sense to raise the turn.

With his line, KJ kinda makes sense, assuming that it is part of his preflop range (and if it is, it is most likely the bottom of it). Sets also make sense: I think it is OK to slowplay them on such a dry board.

So in retrospect, shoving over was a clear mistake. Betting the turn is more debatable, but if betting it is, I think we should have bet smaller (about half pot to 2/3rd pot), just enough to price possible draws and not more than that. Then it is easier to get away from the hand (avoid being pot commited with just a pair).
