    Default 2/4 - I bet small too often. value now?

    Hand 1
    -villain is a meh reg, not that much dynamic this session
    -Feel like I should bet turn more. Was kind of hoping a smallish bet would induce a turn jam
    -is river a clear check or is there value here?

    Hero (CO) ($459.60)
    BTN ($208.75)
    SB ($437)
    BB ($267.80)

    Pre-Flop: ($6, 4 players) Hero is CO
    Hero raises to $12, 1 fold, SB calls $10, 1 fold

    Flop: ($28, 2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $20, SB raises to $60, Hero calls $40

    SB checks, Hero bets $70, SB calls $70

    River: ($288, 2 players)
    SB checks, Hero??


    Hand 2
    -Have been playing tons of hands vs villain this session
    -Earlier I c/r JJ4 board he called IP, A turn I bet turn and overbetshoved the river and he called down with AJ
    -Since that point he's called me in several smallish pots, all of which I had air and he won, after which point I'm pretty sure he thought I was a station
    -After that I barreled and overbet shoved AK on K43ss43 board with AK and he stacked with KQ. Then I bet A34dd6x4x board three streets and overbet river brick with air and he folded
    -UTG in this hand is big whale, and bluffy vs small bets (hence small flop cbet). Though I'd agree with every post that will say "bet bigger on flop".

    CO checks, Hero ??

    Hand 3
    -earlier this session I mistakenly 3bet an UTG open to $500ish allin, and BB called behind with AA and stacked me. He may or may not think I'm crazy after that (I had KTo)
    -BB is nit otherwise, running like 17/13, but not sure if the previous jam changes his range here
    -PFR is a meh reg, who calls lots of 3bets (most 3bets).

    Pretty close, I think I check back first 2 hands. Hand 1 I expect him to c/call flushes enough thinking you have bricked draws a lot. hand 2 I just don't think we get looked up enough by 88-99 versus the times he has a set/AQ.

    Hand 3 is toughest....so gross. I think I check hoping it gets checked through in which i'd probably bet a good river. But it never gets checked through so maybe c/folding or c/calling a smaller bet is best.
    Family Cruise IMO

    3 would be the last on i'd bet, followed by 1, then 2.
  6. #6
    Check all of them.

    I'd bet more on the turn on hand 1.

    Alright thanks. Yah I figured I value town myself way too much.

    I bet 1, cause I figured at least some % of the time he might lead river again with a flush.

    I checked 2 and he had a set, 777.

    I think 3 should be a check. Felt as though CO was weak if he didnt raise flop, so was mostly only worried about BB's range. I shoved to rep KQ or AK/AQ, BB called J's full, CO called KT trip tens. That's called value towning yourself to the max.

    If you're unlikely to get hero called and its pretty plausible that opp can have a better hand than you... that's a pretty good recipe for a value town.

    hand 1 check back flop, bet more on turn as played. check back river i spose

    hand 2 im shipping because ive never seen someone fold 88 to me here when im bluffing. if ppl always fold worse here i think u should be bluffing more with AK in this spot

    hand 3 is a gross spot. i think you are good around 55% of the time maybe, but i think you are good when called after you bet the turn around never. so c/f. if you see the river id c/eval to induce a thin vbet from AJ or a river bluff from KQ.
    im not sure about the flop play, i think betting even smaller as well as checking are going to be better for your range and put their ranges in tougher spots
    I got more flava than fruitstripe gum
