    Default C/R Checked to 50BB table - 50NL

    Villain is 18/16/2.1 tagg who is pretty standard post flop n only thing I've seen him getting out of line is preflop 3betting wars. Not sure what to do here on the turn.

    Bet small like $5.50ish and get him to spazz out with worse? Or is that wishful thinking?
    Shove the PSB I have left?
    Check behind?

    Any comments on PF and flop?

    Far to many cards you don't want to see on the river to bet so small, I would just bet enough to get him to call. Shoving when he'll only call with overpairs, sets and KQ+ kinda sucks. You want FD's and 77-99 to call. Get value. You certainly have an odd sizing problem left.

    Yeah the sizing that's left really sucks since you can't induce. I doubt he ever ever has 77-99 here with this line, i think that's just mega unlikely. I also doubt he pays a Q this way although it's more possible. I hate checking the turn just incase he has a draw here, but any large bet is getting no value from worse. I guess I'd half pot it to try to induce a draw to mistakenly shove and protect against a random A or K, or gutshot or whatever since I think we're good here an absolute ton. I think it's pretty likely most of his range is just air that's giving up on the turn or has some smallish non made hand equity. I'd bet like $8, cutting out any odds for draws and call a shove I spoe although not 100% sure.

    Think flop is a call to allow him to continue bluffing since he's repping so small and doesn't have many worse made hands if any.

    Decent spot to 3 bet preflop if he folds to a decent amount of 3 bets since you get to fold out a bunch of pairs, and aces and are likely rarely dominated when he flats. Flatting is also ok imo.

    MP is so clearly bluffing I would just check behind, i'm 90% confident he does not have a flush draw.

    I agree with Carroters in just about everything he said ... I like a $7-$8.50 bet to protect against any flush draws/aces he might have.

    However, unlike Carroters, I probably don't call a shove here. Granted he's representing a small range, he is yet to show us that he bluffs at all post-flop.

    It's an awkward line as he probably cbets flush draws, sets, and such...but I definitely see more sets here than flush draws.
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    He has air so much that I prefer a check and hope he bets again on the river. If I bet I bet 5.5
    I wouldn't 3-bet the flop. I would expect him to cbet a draw and it's QQ+ at least some of the time.
