Full house facing river shove
Playing at the usual 25/50 game.
Folded to Villain at the cut-off (good loose aggressive, steals from LP a lot, showed down 5-3 in the button and flopped two-pair against overpair once, and folded to a three-bet once, villain has not been three-betted that much over the course of the session, but I kinda played with him a lot before and he folds to being three-betted from late position a couple of times).
Villain: Stack ~ 10000, raises to 200 (villain always opens for 4 times BB whether or not there are limpers).
Hero: Stack ~ 12000, at BB with 7c-7h, Hero three-bets to 700. Villain cold calls
Pot after pre-flop: 1425
Flop comes: Kc-Jh-7d rainbow. Hero leads out for 800, villain flats.
Pot before the turn: 3025
Turn: Qh. Hero lead out once more for 2000, villain flats again.
Pot before the river: 7025
River: Kh.
Final Board Kc-Jh-7d-Qh-Kh
Hero bets 3500, villain shoves for his remaining 6k+
hero?
1) Is three-betting in this spot okay? I would've probably fold to a four-bet but the three-bet cold call is really annoying.
2) I put his cold calling range to K-10+, A-x+, any pair. Idon't think he'd cold call super light; but then we've played before and he knows my game and I know his game as well, he'd probably think that I think he's stealing and I am three betting him light. I rarely saw him 4-bet so i assume he'd only be 4-betting with premiums or he could be balancing his range and cold-calling with premiums as well.
3) What really confused me is him flat calling the flop and the turn. If he had such a hand like K-K, K-Q, K-J, Q-Q, J-J or K-7 or probably even A-10 or random A-x hearts, I would've seen a raise somewhere. The only logical reason for this (and the line i am putting him on) is he probably thinks that I would follow through with my 3-bet thru all the three streets if there's an opportunity and he is trapping me with his monster OR he is planning to call me down with a marginal hand like top pair or in our case, trips on the river.
His river shove makes me take the other option that he has been trapping all along and he's got the absolute nuts on the river. I also do not have any blockers so I really think that his range has nut hands in it. It seems illogical to shove with something like A-A or A-K on a board like this because they are merely bluff catchers unless...he knows he's beat and shoves with K-x (except K-J, K-Q, K-7), A-10 or Ah-xh hoping that I'd fold the 7th nuts.
4) Would a turn overbet or check-raise be a better move?
5) The pot before the river is big enough for a lead out shove overbet from hero, would that have been a better move instead of the half pot value bet?
GL at the tables my friends.
