This deserves to get seen by a few more people. From our resident Stupidhead...v1.27Feral Cow Poker Hand ConverterHEM/Poker Stars NL Hold'em $1.00/$2.00 - 6 playersButton: $237.98SB: $200.00BB: $60.00

I remember when this thread was all about how bad KJ was at 3betting

He's probably not flatting KJ's raise otf if he had a2. Besides, A2 is such a small portion of his range here, we are never ever ever ever ever ever ever folding the turn. People are stupid, they do

^^ for sure @KK on 432tt, I wouldn't bet big. I think $5-$7 is goot, sets up ez half pot turn shove and it gives him the illusion of weakness/fold equity.Don't be scurred of flush draws 100bb deep in 4b pot with a kang and another kang.
I shoved on both. And these hands happened within 5 minutes of each other at the beginning of my session. And after both hands, I immediatly thought that I played them terribly.On the first hand I 3x from UTG and get flatted by CO and Button. BB makes it 3.75. So pot is now 6.1 and I have 24.25 left. Now I start looking at it like if I raise a normal amount, its over 1/3 of my stack and actually nearly half my stack. For some reason I have always played in such a way that if you are putting in between 1/3 and 1/2 of your stack with a re-raise you might as well shove. I might have picked this up from when I played a lot of low buy-in MTTs back in 2006... Another thing that feels awkward is if I do make the raise to between the 10-12 mark, the BB should know that I am never folding. so if i assume he is somewhat competent, what does he do against a raise that puts in nearly half my stack? Will he fold JJ, QQ, AK? That would blow. How about instead of 10-12, if I just click it back and minbet?On the second hand, the post flop one, I think this is another leak I have. The pot is 14, so I think that since I only have a little more than pot size bet left I might as well shove. Since a standard CB would pot committ me anyway. This may be another MTT thinig i started doing 5 years ago. And after that bet villain would auto-know that i am again never folding. By the way, I definetly like the small bet line. Maybe even smaller like 3? Then turn could be 6. River could be the rest. Or what about just auto-checking twice and hope that he bluffs or vaule bets thinly by the turn?

Villian is usually pretty tight, 23/18/7 3bet Villian lost 2ai's in 2 orbits, I've 3bet 3 hands in a row while I was IP with him. he typed out, "**** off dickhead" in the chat as well. So my question is what do we do on the river?Full Tilt Poker $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em - 5 players - View hand 1185014DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History ConverterCO: $11.35BTN: $9.14SB: $10.63BB: $11.97Hero (UTG): $12.81Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is UTG with A :club: Q :3hHero raises to $0.35, 2 folds, SB raises to $1.30, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.95Flop: ($2.70) 6 :qh 2 :ts Q :4h(2 players)SB bets $2, Hero calls $2Turn: ($6.70) 6 :5c(2 players)SB bets $7.33 all in, Hero???
I call. I doubt anyone plays a FH like this and probably not aces or kings either. I guess KdKx would make some sense and even then we're ~30%...pf I'm fine with.

Bet $5-7 and evalBased on aggression factors of the villains we can have a tough spot if we get a lot of action on this board.UTGs flatting range is almost always a pocket pairs and he doesn't open a lot of suited connectors from utg as an 18/13 and he prob doesn't call with like AQ KQ type hands. If you get a lot of action from utg, its bc I'm wrong and he does have AQ and 77 makes up the majority of his value range, imo.

Curious as to what you guys think about villain's line here.I think he's a reg, plays like 20/15. He has to realize that once I c/r the turn he probably doesn't have any FE unless I'm completely FOS.Do you shove the turn like he did, or take a different line? I think if we're villain then call turn >>> fold >>> shoveferal_cow_icon.gifConverted by a herd of feral cowsPokerStars No-Limit Hold'em $0.25/$0.50 - 6 playersCO: $50.00 Button: $50.00 SB: $99.65 BB: $91.70 (Hero)UTG: $50.00 UTG+1: $58.00 Preflop: ($0.75) Hero is BB with :club::D (6 players)3 folds, Button raises to $1.25, SB folds, Hero calls $0.75Flop: ($2.75) :5c:D:qh (2 players)Hero checks, Button bets $1.75, Hero calls $1.75Turn: ($6.25) :jh (2 players)Hero checks, Button bets $4.25, Hero raises to $15, Button raises to $47 and is all-in, Hero calls $32River: ($100.25) :D (2 players)Button showed :4h:3h, and lost with high card AceHero showed :ts:D, and won ($97.25) with three of a kind, DeucesHero won $97.25(Rake: $3)

Turn has to be a fold for villain vs your sizing.If he had the nut draw, it makes it a bit closer especially in position. But Q-high gotta hit the muck.Also, you're not helping the case that small pocket pairs are unprofitable from the blinds vs regs button steals when they spew like that :club:

lol. Normally I'd 3bet there, just went with the flat this time to tarp, ya know.I also like to c/c the flop instead of c/r against most regs in these spots, not 100%, but a fair amount of the time. I really think it helps with balancing our range, especially when we have a hand we want to pot control with and get to a cheap showdown.
