Massive station gets in a tough spot

    Default Massive station gets in a tough spot

    BTN is 17/10 over 180 hands, 4% 3bet. BB is 16/11, don't have many hands on him yet.

    I'd definitely just fold pre if BB hadn't come along, but once he does I think it's worth seeing a flop sometimes - I could go either way, but we do have relative position in a multiway pot against what are likely to be pretty strong ranges, so I think the implied odds are good. Does everyone hate preflop, or do you think, as I do, it's maybe OK to call here occasionally?

    His flop sizing is so small, I don't feel like I can fold. I probably should, but I'm not really expecting him to bet the turn after this flop sizing, and when he does a quick reckon in my head of how deep we are and the implied odds for rivering an 8 or 9 led me to station the turn.

    Lets ignore the river - I think value raising once I bink is pretty standard. I'm more interested in whether or not the earlier streets were a big mistake in general, or a small one - I looked at the hand afterwards and I'm not really very happy with it, but I'm interested in others opinions.

    Hmm. I reckon fold pre and just call river. I don't expect this guy to call AK all that often once we raise river, our line doesn't look bluffy, it's not like our range is loaded with missed draws. I prob station flop and turn at this price.

    I wasn't sure about pre. As played river is just a call though surely?

    Turn call is bad for sure.

    River meh a shove probably isn't getting called by worse too often, esp since the board was so dry and you have no air. Just c/r to $7 or something, and let him cry call.
