I've finally been 3betting and understanding a little more why I'm doing it. After villain calls my 3bet I firmly put him on a PP. I figured I'd bet the flop and if he hit the set he'd raise, if not most likely fold. I bet too quickly and meant to bet more like $27 at the time, but later more seemed better. Calling with the mid pp, even he's ahead, doesn't make any sense to me. I'd think villain only calls flop with a strong hand. But, I've seen people stack off with dogshit a bunch today, so who knows...


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB ($111.05)
UTG ($100)
MP ($97.50)
Hero ($149.45)
Button ($98.50)
SB ($139.50)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K, A.
UTG raises to $4, MP calls $4, Hero raises to $16, 3 folds, UTG folds, MP calls $12.

Flop: ($37.50) 3, T, 8 (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $20, MP calls $20.

Turn: ($77.50) J (2 players)
MP checks, Hero...?

what I think would be optimal?
-20 3bet PF instead. Thats a nice pot sitting there already.
-$33 on flop as played, screams KK/AA and probably folds JJ. Maybe he calls without prior 3bet of QQ, but I doubt it.
- shove turn. As played, then I can then think of my flop bet as a "great value bet for turn steal"

Preflop raise is too small. Flop bet is too small. A PSB would put MP all in anyway so its either that or check/fold which sounds dreadful in this spot but this board hits so many calling hands that I lean towards the weak thing to do and check behind on turn.

 the J is such a bad card though, just check behind and bet river if he checks to you and you dont hit easy poker. Who reads hands at 100nl anyways.

 re : "who reads hands anyways at X limit"

it s funny how many ppl say this about levels they've moved past

i mean srsly, the # of times i ll read something on 2p2 along the lines of "he probably has a weak hand but this is only 2-4 / 3-6 / 5-10 so he won t fold obv"

lol it s just wrong
