No history....I've 3bet him a few times, first one he's called

** Side Note: I would have made it 45-50 pre but I didn't realize he 4x'ed it until it was too late and i autopiloted a standard 10BB 3 bet IP

Turn play and river action?

P.S. Gabe I haven't outted my Stars SN on this site, I want to keep it like that please

I wouldn't 3bet this, especially not vs gabe. He doesn't fold to 3bets ever, and plays well post.

As played, agree with ISF call call. Your turn calling range (as gabe would perceive it) has a lot of pair+clubs/high clubs, so he'll probably bluff river again on a brick if he's bluffing.

So is he bluffing? o.O Im totally baffled by your read. Can you explain for me please. Is it mostly because he didnt 4bet pre? Im sure he must call wider than that if hes getting totally hammered on. I really cant see anything postflop that looks even a little like an overpair.
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

The player pool isnt that big at 2/4 is it? But ok I get your point. So is it just preflop that makes you think AA/KK? I really dont see why either of those would play postflop that way.

maybe gabe is just messing around but in my experience when a good player wants you to put them on a weak range in a spot where you're likely to think that they re just getting sick of you, their range is usually strong

i smell a tarp (gone wrong from gabe's perspective)!

obviously i could come out of this looking like a total idiot but wtv

I just think there's already inherently enough mistrust bvb, that ppl are getting it in so much lighter, I doubt SB will flat too many big hands when his 4bet won't get credit anyways.

+2. I'd just call him down and not give it a second thought ever. I really don't see how preflop is terrible either. What types of hands is it OK to 3-bet bluff BVB, if it's terrible to 3-bet this one?

I don't hate 3betting this against players that fold a lot to 3bets, or play predictably postflop and fit or fold a lot. But gabe doesn't fold to a lot of 3bets, and doesn't play fit or fold/predictably post flop.

So were threebetting 25% (loose estimate) of the time or something versus his preflop opens from the SB? That seems like overkill. I'm doubting any gameflow or whatnot is going to matter with the amount of tables gabe is likely playing.


Postflop its pretty difficult to put him on a hand here.

Here was my confused back and forth thought process on the river:

-I couldn't see you (or thinking players) stealing initiative to go 2 streets for value when a lot of my range is folding the river when bet into and bluffing when checked to since you're turn bet looked like you were blocking 8x8c type hands and buying a river card and a free showdown. Plus, the turn is a heavenly barrel card for my air and I would think you would think I would barrel it relentlessly.

^^This made me want to call it off

-But it's probably the best value line since I'm pot controlling 2 pair and strong absolute value type hands and b/f alot of my air and overpairs that picked up equity. But I'm calling all of those hands on the turn and I can Hero call them all too on blank rivers. Plus I wouldn't expect you to try to blow an unknown off of a 7 unless the river complicates the board more.

^^This made me want to fold

I knew I was LOLsmashed by your value range since I wouldn't think you were batshit enough to shove sets and 2 pair for value. Maybe you are though, who knows.

I felt like such a vagina folding and i felt VEEEERRYY uneasy about it but he twisted my arm and I put my tail between my legs and cried uncle.

Plus the guy was like 16 tabling and i rarely see mass multi tablers execute elaborate and intricate bluffs like this.

Obviously, I figure anyone that advocates 3bet/5bet jamming 44 for value in the BB vs BTN won't mind this play. YAHH MEEAN!

Wow... I really think we have to call this. I feel like he will c/r flop a good % of the time with his clubs even.

Oh yeah I'm pretty sure I got owned here and 24 hours later and I'm still disgusted with myself. Maybe I'll just say i was balancing my folding range?

I think I'm just gonna go put on some Michael Bolton, take a bubble bath, read the latest Cosmo and get in touch with my inner pussyness.

It's all good though I ran a 25/50 reg off the streets (Molswi47; he was playing lower obv) later last night and had him tilt challenging me to 200/400 HU4ROLLZ. That made me feel a little better.

i dont think preflop is bad, but against me i think its better to not have a polarized 3 betting range. since this was our first time playing together its probably fine.

i thought u would just fold all your air on the turn, and there were enough hands you would peel vs that small bet and then fold vs a river shove that i thought this line was profitable.

also in general when im playing back at someone because i think they have a wide range in a 3b pot, i'm hardly ever just c/cing a flush draw 100b deep

Pretty poor hand reading to give him many better hands than a Straight, Three to Seven.

Preflop is fine if you don't think you can call a 4x raise for a profit vs gabe (very possibly true).

i think i like raising the turn to like 160$ so that you don't lose value to all the bad river cards (he can shove big clubs, sets and overpairs that he might c/fold on the river). I guess if we think he has pure air here a lot calling is best but i def would put gabe on some kind of hand here given his line.

kinda cool turn bet, it widens your perceived value range when very few lines make possible. But did OP fold anyway? Wow, i don't think i'd fold anything that beats all bluffs.

You're absolutely right, and I definitely have a bad case of "monsters under the bed" when I'm up against players I KNOW are levels and miles ahead of me and I'm trying hard to work on that without donking off stacks left and right.

Sometimes I just think about spots way to hard and confuse myself when my gut instict usually turns out to be the right play. Plus, it seems everyone seems to run the nuts out on me recently and that is obviously negatively affecting my decisions.

Hopefully a few sessions with ISF will straighten this kind of shit out.

I mean certainly double barreling the turn as a bluff when you c/c the flop seems good so its hard to like it but if you think he is going to check his cbetted air on the turn a majority of the time and you can get him to fold an overpair on some dangerous looking cards it seems cool.

hmm I'm not sure what I think about gabe's line. I don't mind it on a 4 turn or 7 turn, but I don't think its very credible to run a bluff on a club here. I guess betting a club is ok to get hero off air, but I don't think hero is folding any legit hands to barrels when a club turns.

idk i think gabe should just lead the flop if he's gonna try anything here. once he c/c's the flop he has to win the pot a staggering amount of the time to break even

Well one reason they give it credit is because they know they would need to be folding a pretty unrealistic amount of their range in order to be exploited by it.

just seems like a really bad or really good line and if gabe thinks OP thinks he's good...

if I was in OP's spot, I'd expect gabe to expect me to think this is a bluff, so I'd fold.

Actually had time to calculate this since I'm not playing anymore.

Since you call 65 into 80 on the flop, that means if you are going to bet 1/2 the pot on the river (we'll say 100), that means you'd be risking 165 to win 145, so you'd need it to work over 53% of the time assuming the turn always goes check check and you never improve. IMO the times the situations lays itself out such that you cannot win the pot more than makes up for your implied odds improving or your implied bluff odds in situations like what happened (leading some turns), so imo by the time the turn goes check check and the river blanks off, u are gonna need to win at least 2/3, possibly 3/4 or more.

My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

word.

Also, if hero is really that scurred of villain then it doesn't really matter what line villain takes, he can just do whatever he wants as long as it confuses hero because it will clearly get him to fold like 95% of his range. In which case, I think it's great. Against someone not shaking in their boots, I think this line is probably okay. Really just doesn't work (as a bluff) against very perceptive opponents IME though.
