JJ bvb against LAG.

shitty spot.

sizing looks fine to me and I´d just c/f this flop.

This just happened to me. Same spot, not worth its own thread.

Dam that's also a shitty spot. Someone smarter then me comment with really helpful advice plz. gogo.

Are these super standard hands or something? I was away all day and couldn't wait to see what reply's had been written...and to my dissapointment, nothing was said.

idk I'm 4bet jamming PF b/c both of your opponents suck really hard and 3bet to way too huge of an amount PF which makes 4betting to a semi-correct size and it still being balanced seemingly impossible.

I might be a little confused about 3bet sizing then. The sizes look standard to me. Are we 3betting 3x instead of 4x or what?

3x is standard IP and 4x OOP.

I'm tossing up whether I prefer a 4-bet shove or flatting the 3-bet OOP. We're just not going to flop an overpair/set that often, so seeing this flop OOP with this pot size really sucks.

I think he was referring to the % they three bet and not the actual bet size.

couple things here. if your opponents are particularly bad, and you shove oop bvb with a hand like JJ they will often convince themselves that you must have AK/AQ or trash and i've been called in these spots with hands like 88-TT which is great for your hand. it also makes you not care what bad flops may come where you have to make a laydown.

one more thing, if people are bad enough to call your 4bets, just make them larger. don't worry if it's Non-standard sizing, we don't always have to make bets and raises etc the exact same size...

I really like spenda's idea of 4bet shoving over these 3bets since they are unnecessarily large for the situation. I particularly like the play w/ JJ/QQ since they don't flop an overpair as often and it's more likely to get called by a smaller pair thinking we have 2 big cards like bspahn said.

When someone flats my 4b like this, no matter what the flop is, I just go ahead and bet like 1/4 pot. So pot was 60, I'd bet like 15. If he calls, turn pot size is 90 and effective stacks are 55, I'd bet 20. If he hasn't raised you and hasn't folded by this point, he's trapping you so don't put in the last bet. Obviously this is super exploitable if villain knows what you're doing, but I've been using this with tremendous success, particularly in HU games. The hands people are flatting 4bets with seem to me to be something like 88-TT and AQs/AJs/ATs/KQs. They just fold soso often when I do this that I think it's pretty profitable (obviously I'm gonna change it up when I start feeling like I'm losing in these spots though).

I got owned so hard. I must admit, i had to immediately quit after this. How bad is b/fing here...

CO ($154.70)
BTN ($154.50)
Hero (SB) ($174.80)
BB ($100.00)

Pre-flop: ($1.50, 6 players) Hero is SB
Hero says "lolz", 4 folds, Hero raises to $3, BB raises to $12, Hero raises to $30, BB calls $18

Flop: ($60, 2 players)
Hero bets $19, BB raises to $38, Hero folds


Final Pot: $98
BB shows:

BB wins $114 ( won +$46 )
Hero lost -$49

Hand 1: Re-raise to around 1/3 of the effective stack size and shove any flop. If you really think he has big cards, check/fold if 2 overs flop.

Hand 2: Ditto on my pre-flop advice. I shove that flop and expect worse hands to call.

If he shoves over QQ+, AK you're in even better shape!

Antman, you actually didn't get owned here at all. Villain is an idiot. He read you very incorrectly and just got lucky. Think about what your 4betting range is in this spot and think about how often you actually do have a hand when you do this. Particularly one that hits any piece of this board. Taking this into account, you are going to win a lot of money from him w/ him playing like this.

exactly, think about this hand with your entire range and then laugh at how audacious a bluff this is (both his call of the 4bet PF and then his flop raise). Gbucks man, g-to-da-bizzucks.

Because AA/KK/AK tend to just shove over, quite often 4-bet calls are pretty LoL.

Not worth it's own thread, lol. I like the c/f here too.

You fold too much.

i would just jam pre i think, but now c/f

when he makes it 4x like that you really can't make a noncommittal 4bet, so just ship it in imo

obviously check fold as played

Put in a third, ship the flop with your eyes closed. You'll get more mistakes.
