Villain is a fairly straight forward reg. He does have the habit of calling 3 bets with a lot of small and medium pairs. He is running 20/15/5.

Thoughts are appreciated on all streets.


Absolute/UB Cereus No-Limit Hold'em, $4.00 BB (5 handed) - Absolute/UB Cereus Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($565.40)
Hero (SB) ($1964.75)
BB ($814.15)
UTG ($468.20)
MP ($380.70)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K, J
2 folds, Button bets $12, Hero raises to $44, 1 fold, Button calls $32

Flop: ($92) 6, 8, K (2 players)
Hero bets $60, Button calls $60

Turn: ($212) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $124, Hero calls $124

River: ($460) 10 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button raises to $337.40 (All-In), Hero folds

Total pot: $460 | Rake: $3.50

Looks fine imo. Turn c/rai is pretty sweet also if your 3bet fq is very high.

I'd fold preflop? I dont play six max that much but it kind of looks like a fold.

I also think checking the flop is good. Your line seems fine though

I think your 3-bet pre is pretty bad.

Can you just check fold the turn? He seems to have you beat a lot and he's betting pretty big...

I'm not sure this hand is a fold vs any kind of wide button opening range necessarily. I don't mind calling pre.

I want to bet the turn again. If we're beat, I think its by a few 8x and KQ. I don't expect hands like 99-QQ to fold to a turn barrel, or any kind of FD necessarily.

How does he perceive your double barreling in 3bet pots? I kind of want to b/c $80 on the turn here.

After a closer inspection I'm thinking call river.

This is what I am leaning toward too after looking back at the hand. BTW he should have me at about 22/17/8 if he has his HUD running which I know he does and we played quite a bit vs each other.

if his read is that he calls 3bets a shitload 3betting is definitely close.

I'm not sure why we're thinking call the river? opp would have to be a sicko

I mean sometimes i level myself into thinking that he knows i think that card smacked his range and he's bluffing but i almost always find its just that the card smacked his range and i lose. fwiw the only player ive played who actually took advantage of it was Fullflush

I don't mind the 3 bet seems like a great hand to have if somebody is calling 3 bets really wide. I think after you check the turn you should call river vs this guy.

Pre seems fine, turn is kinda gay that you're not that little bit shallower so you can c/r ai. I like c/c turn, c/c brick rivers, as played I'd fold.
"This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.
