179 hands, no reads...9/7/56 AFq...100% fold to 3b...ok not sure what i was thinking here my first mistake was probably cold calling, i guess i saw his 100% fold to 3b and was worried about not making money off my aces. The blinds were tight so i was pretty sure this thing was gonna be HU.


Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

BB ($11.88)
UTG ($9.54)
UTG+1 ($20.71)
MP1 ($10)
MP2 ($10.19)
CO ($10.84)
Hero (Button) ($13.53)
SB ($6.76)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A, A
3 folds, MP2 bets $0.30, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.30, 2 folds

Flop: ($0.75) 5, 10, 2 (2 players)
MP2 bets $0.45, Hero raises to $1, MP2 calls $0.55

ok mistake here...should have raised larger on flop...probably like 1.60. the reason i did it so low is because i figured he was just cbetting a lot of air and folding to any aggression, but at the same time i couldnt afford to check another street after not 3b'ing preflop...so i raised an amount i thought would still get calls from 99,88, Jts, ATs which im more concerned with than pricing out flush draws because he only has like 6 tops in his range

Turn: ($2.75) J (2 players)
MP2 checks, Hero bets $1.50, MP2 raises to $4.35, Hero calls $2.85

Again i should have bet bigger, when he check raises the first thing i thought of was JJ. this is probably the biggest question i have in the hand, what should i do here?


River: ($11.45) Q (2 players)
MP2 bets $4.54 (All-In), Hero calls $4.54

Total pot: $20.53 | Rake: $1.36

I mean by now the board has me over a barrel and im rarely good here, but pot odds deem that i only need 22% equity to make this break even. Against a pessimistic range of TT+,55,22,AKs we still have 27% equity so this is still a call.

raise flop more & shove the turn dewd. You're pot committing yourself by calling anyway. The river is an easy call.

[Fnord]

Get it in on the turn.

Kings no good?

Think you save yourself a lot of bother by keeping it simple and 3betting pre. I know he has a 100% F3b stat but did you check how many occasions we're actually talking about? I mean over a sample of 179 hands he might only get 3b a few times...

[Outlaw]

Did you post the right hand? There is no cold call in this hand.. it was heads up preflop.

[Imthenewfish]

Outlaw-hero cold called pre, he posted it right

That is NOT a reason to raise smaller.
IMO this is clearly a hand you didn´t plan at all. Start planning your hands. Every single street of this HH is a very easy decision when you have a simple plan.

Yeah, he's not bet/calling the flop with 99/88/JTs.
