    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    Assume a high stakes game, on the river, against a world class TAG villain (but no stats or reads other than that). My image is TAG/good/solid but I'm more or less unknown to V.

    I open from EP preflop, V calls IP. I cbet very drawy flop, V calls. All draws miss and I fire again, V calls. All draws miss yet again (the lowest card pairs, 4-color board) and I check the river.

    Say we've got a hand that will always beat a bluff but never a value bet (something like AA on a K high flop).

    In general, would you choose to c/c or c/f in this spot?

    Just kidding, if you don't want me to post donkament hands here I'll delete these two posts but I wanted an opinion on this hand from awhile back and I'd rather ask a good hand reader like yourself since most donkament players never run big bluffs. This guy is one of those guys who gives too much action in small pots but gets terrified of the nuts in big pots. Is it better to just raise the flop then to get fancy like this and what do you think his range is when he makes this dumb bet on the river.

    Villain is Alexos from FTR, a 5-10 reg. He's sitting at my tables just to fuck with me imo

    that being said, he's def not the type to make spewy plays, but will mainly be much less scared money than most villains here. Also a good hand reader, although I think historically I've owned him and run well in pots we've played.

    Raise the flop no doubt. I mean yeah this is fine, but you got into the situation that was actually nightmare for us. It doesn't seem like there's any FE on this turn. Amazingly there was, so that's great, but just raise the flop and get it in. Treat overcards and fd's in a threebet pot like the nuts.

    Shoving in 200bb here seems really dumb. His line isn't exactly trademark weakness (although its not trademark strength either). You have an okay draw so I'd just call the bet or you could muck it.

    If 10 is great and 1 is horrendous, i'd say its a 3. Still <3 though.

    First off I'd like to say the two barrell is good. You have 3 outs versus pretty much anything besides a 7, and his range is pretty weak on the turn. We have a lot of bare aces and pocket pairs he'd peel the flop with he is now folding on the turn.

    The threebarrel is bad though. People just don't fold top pair here. Especially guys with the stats you described. He is very likely folding pp's on the turn, so he surely has a Q here I agree. I think you just got lucky though in this scenario and he had 99 or something.

    So not a good one.

    ===================================

    Hmmm interesting question.

    If I'm villain here I'd say the best assumption for your hand is the one you have. The reason I say that is because a thin vbet on this board is not very hard, and if I two barrelled here with a draw, I sure as hell am not going to quit that bluff right now. Opps range is too far behind so solid vbetting range for us, so we can bluff a relatively large amount. Pretty much the only hand I'm not betting on this river is a hand I don't feel has any value.
    Having this hand is pretty rare though in this situation. I feel like we're going to go pot control on the turn or flop with this type of hand sometimes.

    Assuming this is 100bb, V is going to have about pot left. So now let's examine V's range. It's really not that great. Since the board was so drawy we're going to have some actual vbet hands here; ones that didn't want to play for stacks on the flop but are pretty solid in general. Example is... idk maybe 99 if the board was 765, turn 2, river 2. He's also going to have some possible bluff hands as well. Flush draws, or maybe some combo straight draws with a pair that has no SD value. He's also going to have a nut hand here sometimes as well, because good players know how to mix it up well.

    Digressing a little bit, I'm going to eliminate c/c when a high card comes on the river. Like a 976 flop, turn 2, river A. I would not check call here. I think the reasons are pretty obvious. It looks like a bluffy spot if he bets, and we actually have a pretty big range of hands we're going to have a hard time mucking.

    Given all the information we know, I'm going to say it's going to be a very rare occasion when I check/call here ever. I'd be more inclined to call on a board like T87, 2, 3 as there's just less hand he's able to vbet here than a 765, 2, 2 board type. With little history i think villain is just going to think his bet will look bluffy and isnt going to mess around with such an obvious weak range.

    So cliffnotes is I almost always c/f.

    I prefer cash but donkament is fine .

    First off, I'd like to say I like your play up until river (ill examine this later, no judgement yet ). Opp looks like he probably had a 7x, Tx, or 88 type hand and you can float some good overs or hit your 7 out draw a lot. He pretty much never has a draw. Raise/calling the flop has some merit though, but stack sizes seem to awkward for it.

    Now onto river. I never give donkament players credit for thin value betting, for good reason, and I'm guessing you agree. I think you probably saw some of what I'm seeing: A six is a very unlikely hard in his range. It would have to be either 76 or 66, maybe even 64 for him to have the straight. Those are all much less likely than the rest of the range i put him on... on the flop at least. The issue is it's just hard to say his vbet range that will fold to a raise, like I am sure one pair will, is very big at all. He checked the turn which for me makes his most likely hand like 88 or 7x, followed by Tx, lastly a bluff. I feel like there's no way this river bet is a bluff, or very rarely is, just because bet sizing doesn't look like it at all, and it doesn't make too much sense in his range.

    So pretty much we're hoping that opp is "thin" vbetting a Ten here, or making a block bet with 88 or 7x. All these make perfect sense though. He's betting something like 11k into a 28-30k pot. But with these type of hands we can really only give 50% frequency to it, as other moves are likely as well.

    However this is the same with a straight. This bet size is probably 50% frequency for the straight, as we'd see other bet sizes half the time at least as well.

    All and all, I think amazingly you have found a spot where versus a non thin vbettor raising the river is at least close to profitable. I'd say this bluff runs about neutral EV from my perspective, but given timing and game flow, or whatever else you may have sunconsciously or consciously known this could make it +EV.

    that being said, he's def not the type to make spewy plays, but will mainly be much less scared money than most villains here. Also a good hand reader, although I think historically I've owned him and run well in pots we've played.

    ----- RIVER -----

    If you think Alexos is folding A7 then okay good. If not, which i think is likely, i dont like it.

    I mean your repping massive amounts of strength here, but Im not sure Alexos has a good sense that you actually are not just stupidly vbetting 76 or 74 type hand and therefore he's not going to fold.

    dude was playing 23/8, liked minraising low card flops. Has a huge agg faktor on the turn(6.33). Pretty much bets every time when checked to in this situation, hence I have plenty of fold equity and its very hard to put me on a bluff taking this line.

    1. No one folds a top pair Ace.
    2. Turn card is not a good two barrel. Opps range includes Ax, pocket pairs, and midpair 8's. When we bet again he's only folding pocket pair so it's not good with no draw. I don't like river because he clearly has an Ace and people don't fold those.

    No hindsight for the blind.
    Gonna read the other hands after sleeping, right now I just want to throw in my own bluff:

    CO runs 20/10/2-ish, we have no history that I can remember and I haven't been playing long at this table so no image.

    SB runs 45/4/2 and is pretty much a station.

    Those are bad cards to bluff at IMO. when he calls the turn he has at least an ace and less likely some other draw. He is not folding most of the time on the river.

    No hindsight for the blind.
    The SB was the station and folded the flop. I don't really have a read on the CO other than the stats.

    edit: bleh, nice ninja edit. Do you dislike the turn bet as well as the river bet?

    Would you make that flop play with a strong draw? Turn is ok as he has Jacks to kings some of the time and probably does not have a flush draw. Very hard for him to call.

    The turn is opponent dependent so there is no correkt answer IMO, if he floats a lot with medium pair type holdings a double barrell is good. Is he passive when checked to, much pot control?

    Wellllll, it's not so much that they don't thin value bet, it's that they suck at balancing their range. For example let's say it's a blind battle, SB limps and we check T7o. Flop is J87 and he bets 1/2 pot, we call. Turn is another J, check check, river 2, he bets 1/3 pot. Random donkament player has an 8 here like always and I've just stopped paying them off. If he had a J he'd bet more, if he wanted to bluff he'd bet more, if he didn't suck he'd bet more. It's like they have this weird "second pair" bet size that's specifically reserved for situations when they have second pair. There are a lot of people like this at low-stakes cash games too.

    Like you said though, occasionally people show up with the nuts when they bet so small so you can't just auto-raise these bets. Anyway thanks for the analysis, I liked it.

    Although I know PiS.ToTo, make sure to post reads next time .

    Flop raise is okay, but its not great. Even if Pis.ToTo folds which is less likely from his lower cbet % here, we have a guy behind us (if he's a reg than nvm) who could end up shoving behind a fd or a T. Though its likely Pis folds a JT/QT type hand.

    Letting that slide, when he calls the flop it really surprises me. If your image is super tight, tell me this, as I assume its not the case. I'd assume he'd shove any fd or any hand he'd want to take to showdown. So I feel like he either decided to call with these hands and hoped for some reason you make a bigger mistake thin vbetting the turn than calling a flop shove, or he has a low fd and doesnt think he can shove the flop profitably. That being said, it's unlikely I continue on the turn here ever. But the best card in the deck for us just came, so I don't mind it. Let's just hope he doesn't have a low fd like I pondered.

    Again when you post, post whatever reads you have.

    Preflop is questionable in my mind, I'd rather just muck it, but its fine.

    On the flop, calling a gutter here is fine.

    Turn is where your play gets bad. He is never folding a 9 or an overpair here. This is 10nl, it's a pretty safe assumption that is the case. So we simply can't raise, since that is most of his range. Bluffing at 10nl with less than a fd or a oesd normally is a pretty stupid idea when our opponent has either raised or bet into us, because their betting and raising ranges are too tight and they don't fold enough. By making this play, we are actually handing them over money in a whole sense. They have a leak: Too tight of a betting range and too loose of a calling range and not enough of a bluffing range, and we're not exploting it. Exploiting this leak is folding... a lot. Folding until we have a hand that has value against his range.

    River is a must with turn, but real discussion is on turn. I'd probably do something like this with a clean image versus a good reg at 400nl or something, although I'd raise prob 4x on the turn and shove river.

    Full ring, live casino PLHE, 2-2 blinds, the live straddle is on. A tagg throws in a 20 GBP note, then announces raise, but because he didn't say raise beforehand they tell him that is a call. He grumbles but complies. I happily limp behind with QJs in the CO, BTN limps behind, straddler checks. BTN is a player who believes himself to be great.

    Flop is KTx two-tone. It's limped to me, and because I know BTN's tendency to make a big pot-sized bet here if I check, I decide to throw in a 2/3 pot bet instead. BTN calls, everybody else folds.

    Turn comes a blank card, and BTN has called me light on the flop before, but I decide not to fire another barrell. He checks behind, and I'm stoked to get a free card.

    River completes a flush. I fire 2/3 pot with my busted straight draw. He grumbles that I must have a flush, and folds KQo face up.

    I have a good image and stacked tight villain a few hands ago (villain runs about 18/14ish, not a spewtard but he bet-called riv with bare trips on river after I flatted his turn lead with a turned straight.

    NL 5-10, 1150$ bb eff stacks.

    I raise JTss from button, villain repops to 135 I call (obv preflop I'm not losing anything by folding...).

    Flop he bets 165 into 270ish I call.

    Turn is board now reads

    He thinks for about 5 secs and checks. I tank and check back.

    River is pot is 600ish with 800 behind.

    He checks after about 3 secs. I get the feeling he's looking to check-call.

    I shove.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    How emphatic.

    Idk how much opp threebets but id probably fold pre against typical 18/14's. He may be a looser threebettor than i think though?

    Hand is totally fine, river shove is good although tbh i prefer something like 500.

    8 out of 10.

    cool.

    i suppose the call pre is mainly because it was shortly after he got stacked and I feel like most players when they are pissed tend to just open things up a bit more. maybe i m just projecting my own not-so-subtle tilt I dunno.

    Not sure if your doing FR hands, but if so. Villain is a decent 13/10/3 reg over a 8k hand sample. He has a flop c/r % of around 9%.

    I kinda feel I butchered this hand, but maybe not. On flop, would I be best just checking this back, as I could likely be facing a c/r a decent % of the time? After cbetting the flop, and not seeing a c/r is it okay to decide to attempt to barrel him off suspected KJ, QJ, etc type hands? And well, I figured after betting flop/turn, that to not bet river would be horrible as I'm never ahead here, and given he didn't c/r at any point his range is likely moderately weak. Thoughts?

    Your words hurt me deeply . But 1/2 FR sure seems softer than the .50/1 6m games at this time (at least to me, but I'm still a 6m newbie), so might as well, amirite?

    Okay on flop, when he calls from the SB his range is probably a lot stronger than yours so you should be checking back a bunch.

    Here though you do have a backdoor fd and an over card with probably no sd value so cbetting is okay I think.

    On the turn, there are a lot of hands that you could double barrel. Q9, KQ, 89, AQ, AK, any fd any gutshot. Your hand has sd value against AQ and 55/44 now so id probably just check it back now.

    River id check again since now he surely has a jack and there's no point in trying to get him to fold when you know his range is strong. fd missed too its more callable.

    Marshall,

    The bet bet check and then opp bets line is something that rarely happens in poker since normally when you check the river, its your opponent who is shoving or checking with 100bb's.

    The thing is on the flop, your opponent raised UTG, meaning he has a strong range. Overall, I think he cbets everything so id go for the c/c. As played, you really cant continue to bet on the turn, as he'll probably call more hands that your losing to than call a hand that you are beating, even when he calls with worse if he has a diamond then we're screwed. The thing I like about c/c the flop: not a lot of draws, so we're rarely getting bluffed off by worse on the turn (unless the diamond comes like it did).

    On the river: I like the check but just fold He could easily have KK, AdK, KQ, QQ, JJ, AdJ, AJd all of which is either not folding or is probably not folding. He probably folds AQ no diamond though, but your c/r is into a range that has boats more than you think. And people are stupid they won't want to fold the Ad here. They also normally wouldn't vbet less than a Jd here.

    I think its a decent idea just def not +EV

    EDIT: Thanks mcat edited my post your right I didnt notice the 4 diamonds.

    There's 4 diamonds on the board Danny.
  54. #54
    I felt like he has to raise the turn w/ anything but KQ/QQ and that he's going to have a big diamond fairly frequently since he should know I have a tendency to lead big hands.

    I thought he could also have KJ but only KxJd, but Jd fell on the river so I think he can't have that. I thought he's value betting something like AdKx naked Kx on the river and I can rep KQ/QQ/KJ/JJ. Is this wrong?
  55. #55
    I guess this is a semi bluff but anyways.
    Villain is big losing player, not sure about his tendencies though. His 3 bet was so small I decided to call ip with this hand.
    His c bet is smallish too 3 way and I decided he'd fold alot to a raise. He didn't but I pick up outs on the turn and he checks, plus I set up a tidy little full pot shove. Thoughts?

    Hmmm id fold flop, multiway cbet and you have tons of hands you can play back with. He may be aggro but is he raising flops light? he's essentially repping 56,54,55,33. It's a real thin range. If he is raising cbets in spots like these a ton then this is fine. Otherwise id prob just fold and play back with small flop threebets

    I'd cbet flop for sure.

    As played I'd prob fold turn. Sure, he's bluffing the turn sometimes, but when he is he'll sometimes bluff you off on river.

    On river, the thing is there is no reason he cant have a nut hand. 22, 66, 88, 99, QT, 75. Unless u have some timing tell or something that he has a one pair than ofc just fold here.

    I hadn't been at the table for too long (doubled up quite quickly with a full house) but Villain doesn't tend to respect my raises and likes to 3 bet. I once saw him make the same 4.5x 3 bet when there were several callers to a raise. Everyone folded and he showed 27s. Normally I 4 bet in spots like these, but i decided to call with the intention of shoving over his probable cbet on the flop.

    Although my intention was to shove on the flop, I felt like a cold call seemed stronger. I thought that on the turn if he was truly as strong as he made it seem, he would shove, so since he checked I was quite confident that a shove would make him fold.

    I think a shove on the flop seems stronger. Although in doesn't really matter that much in this case, what we want is for him to fold 88/99/pair of tens. We're beating all air already.

    When someone checks a board this dry I don't normally lead turn light. This board is no exception, there's no way he folds Ace high to one bet and we beat everything else. I'd check and likely fold turn to a bet.

    River...Gah this is tough. If I bet i def overbet like you did. Tbh though I'd probably just c/f because a 9 is more likely than it seems. It's real close though.

    I overbet turn, you don't like that either? What if turn is like a 5c?
  71. #71
    i never overbet any street besides the river, unless i suspect a severe imbalance in someones range or im trying to level them.

    River is worse now that i see its an overbet. Why would'nt he just flat the turn with a 9? If you bet like 8-10 he may raise sometimes, which is why I thought it was borderline.

    Villain had started limping after I had been 3betting him a ton, he was doing it w/ both weak hand and decently strong ones like ATs.

    He was playing pretty straightforwardly postflop and seemed to be a decent hand reader....
