Results 1 to 3 of 3
  1. #1

    Default 10NL - ATo Blind vs Blind flopped TPTK facing aggression.

    Managed to get through 3k hands today on a day off and won a few BI's playing pretty solid, however this hand proved to be my most difficult spot.

    Hero (BB): $14.94
    UTG: $10.25
    UTG+1: $26.97
    UTG+2: $14.06
    MP1: $10.15
    MP2: $10.00
    CO: $8.65
    BTN: $9.85
    SB: $14.78 13/8, Cbet 67%, Steal 0%

    Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is BB with A T
    7 folds, SB raises to $0.30, Hero calls $0.20

    Flop: ($0.60) 3 T 8 (2 players)
    SB bets $0.42, Hero raises to $1.30, SB raises to $3.50, Hero calls $2.20

    Turn: ($7.60) 3 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks

    River: ($7.60) 8 (2 players)
    SB bets $4.35, Hero calls $4.35


    Villain hasn't done anything crazy over 112 hands and so far isn't stealing wide in late position. Given that villain hasn't opened on my BB yet I take a flop rather than 3bet

    Flop

    Flop comes down nice with TPTK, villain makes a standard 2/3 cbet and I suppose I could just flat but I wanted to raise for some protection vs overs and flush draws. I feel like he would just call with 9T, JT, QT, KT and possibly 87, 98, T8, A8. Obviously when he 3bets we can narrow his range down to total air (unlikely given stats), TT (unlikely as we have a T),33,88, AA-JJ, J9s, flush draws with overs.

    Turn

    Now when he checks I am ruling out sets, I'm assuming he'd make it 1/2 -2/3's to set up a shove on the river. It can still be draw as after I raise call on the flop and a brick comes off, it's not a card I'm likely to fold to another barrel so a bet from him would be committing his stack. We can't obviously completely rule out 33 but it's now extremely unlikely given theirs 2 on the board.

    I'm checking back for pot control to pick up bluffs on the River.

    River

    Now I am pretty much ruling out 88, 33 and TT. It pretty much leaves us with missed FD's, J9s, JJ-AA and some air although I've pretty much ruled this out as well as it would be a crazy line with overs etc.

    I am pretty tired right now so the thought process may not be completely right here but it's would be a very strange line for a bluff but then again for pretty much all the hands in his range IMO.

    Villain had A3o btw, can't get the converter to show this for some reason!

    Thoughts?

    This guy is a nit, I'd fold pre. As played, raising flop sucks because he has very few flush draws in his range, so raising forces out stuff we beat like AK AQ while paying off his overpairs. When he 3bets flop, well now we have an easy fold, because he tells us he doesn't have AK AQ, leaving overpairs only in his range. Personally if I called pre then I'd just call flop, and either call down to showdown or fold turn if he fires again, depending how often he's double barrelling. But yeah I think we can fold ATo bvb vs a 13/8.

    Calling his 3bet at flop is very bad, and so is calling the turn bet. It's pretty clear we're crushed from the moment he 3bets.

    ohwait, turn goes check/check. Yeah ok as played river is a call, but flop is still a fold to 3bet imo.
