    Default Want to nit against a bigger nit

    Dealing with a nit here, 9/8 and only seen 3bet twice over 90 hands. Which is why sparks flew and flatted pre.

    Come the river, I think I'm almost beat 100% of the time from what I knew at this point it time.

    So when am I manning up and folding this? I expect only 1 bet from AK, so think turn is a fold.



    Hero (UTG): $46.57
    UTG+1: $25.00
    *9 players



    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.35) Hero has K K

    Hero raises to $0.75, UTG+1 raises to $2.25, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $1.50

    Flop: ($4.85, 2 players) 3 Q 6
    Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $2.50, Hero calls $2.50

    Turn: ($9.85, 2 players) T
    Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $6.00, Hero calls $6.00

    River: ($21.85, 2 players) T
    Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $14.25 and is all-in, Hero?

    That or C/R flop, fold to a shove.

    Man up and stack off pre. He probably has QQ+ AK. We're ahead. Turn is a fold for me.

    I think pre is fine as is folding the river. Turn could easy be a fold if you never expect villain to have AQ.

    Thinking more about it calling pre is to keep shit in villains range right? Surly we cant ever fold post given that. Meh full ring nits fuck with my mind

    Villain doesn't have shit in his range. I don't expect him to have AQ. He's QQ+ AK.

    The question is... how does he respond to a 4bet when he has QQ and AK? Does he get it in? I would say probably, it's what nits wait for. Stack it pre.

    9/8 may not ever be getting it in pre with QQ, although I think if we can play the hand entirely pre it obviously makes it easier to play.

    If he's 9/8 I don't think flatting his 3bet pre keeps his range even remotely wide, yeah, it keeps AK in there but like OP said he probably doesn't bet the turn with it.

    As played, fold turn.

    So because he's played 90 hands and only 3bet twice, note it doesn't say 3bet 2/90, we are doing to assume that he only gets it in pre with KK & AA. Sounds like a massive over adjustment, just GII pre.

    I certainly don't think he's folding QQ or AK to a 4bet. Maybe he doesn't stack off, if we know he doesn't and he goes on to shove then we can puke fold pre. But that's so fucking nitty and it relies on a super solid read that he always calls QQ and AK to a 4bet, while jamming AA only. A nit who's folding 90% of his hands is unlikely to want to fold his premiums when he gets them, whatever action he faces pre. Plus he's likely to drool with QQ overpair. 4betting this all day long.

    soaking up ethanol, moving on up
    does he appear to be positionally aware?
    do you look like a nit to him?
    would you ever 4b here?
    this is probably a turn decision, you're basically asking how much he values AQ here, his line looks like QQ/KK/AA only. I mean, if you check-shoved the flop he might fold overpairs and call AQ cos blockers to top set (that's genuinely how some players think here). But I doubt it.
