    Default 1 Hand for Review AM I SUPOSE TO THINK HE HAS A SET OR 2 PAIR???????????

    just sat down i mean i felt a 2 pair or set coming because im on a 19buyin downswing all i want to know is it possible to fold this hand on the turn? I normally would think i played this perfectly and lost the minimum. what do you guys think please let me know this 19 buyin downswing is making me insane

    I'd 3 bet all day long for value with this hand sb vs BU, he'll continue wih dominated hands, getting him to fold some J9s or 55 is also a good result since we're oop and have no postflop reads.

    This turn is a seriously easy bet vs an unknown you're just letting him check back worse pairs and weak kings, go for 3 streets of value here all day long.

    As played you can't fold the turn no. He has few combos of better hands and likely a ton of worse kings or floats.

    Is the 19BI downswing defo just a result of running badly? Maybe drop down and work on your game for a while if it's affecting you enough to doubt standard spots like betting this turn vs an unknown.

    I know your new to the table but without a real serious read/dynamic I'm 3 betting this pre 100%. Also firing the turn again, and river as well. Kinda a funny line you took, I guess as played though Id check/call river.

    thanks for the help the check on the turn was just because id figure id let him bluff something worse hes gunna be folding 90% of his range. Your saying get value from weaker Kings, PP's is probley the correct play thow.

    He ended up having K2 and the bad luck contines lol.

    appriciate the help!

    As others have said, 3bet pre and value bet turn for sure.

    As played, after his sizing i'd probably c/r turn. If he calls and river bricks (all straight draws miss), I might c/c sometimes or shove other times.

    his sizing and the number of combos for worse one pair hands make the river bet pretty valuable. the guy left in the hand did open limp..
