    For the visuals : SMP

    Last hand of my today’s session.

    Was down 100 at that moment, had to leave, wanted to, but not with a $98 stack, i wanted to cashout over 100, one bill and change…

    Here’s my chance, got AK in ep.
    I iso to 10 after a limper, got called by another one and everybody else fold behind, including the limper.

    Flop (20ish)
    A62r (one spade, and I got As)
    I decided at that point that I wanted to play for my stack…
    I cbet 12, villain calls

    Turn (40~)
    9s
    I bet 25, villain take a look at my remaining stack of $51, and flats…

    River (90~)
    5s
    I’m not super sure what I was thinking, I already had the c/c plan… maybe I checked to let him bet weaker hands or try to bluff, had I bet 3 streets, I was affraid to only get called by 2 pairs or better.
    So I checked, he bet 51, I called… and he showed me T8ss

    Maybe I could’ve saved my last 51 (assuming he’d check down a medium kicked ace)
    Or maybe I should’ve left 10 minutes earlier with half my buy-in…
    Maybe it’s just a cooler after all, what do you guys think?

    that you should not think like that at the end of a session. If you feel like leaving, leave. if you feel your stuck and try to make it right, leave for sure since it will not help your game if you keep thinking about the money you need to make up 😉

    the hand: pre flop I think you can go a bit bigger, my experience is that a lot af players at these stakes won’t fold out enough hands if you give them 10 to call in what will be a 25 pot.

    flop: I like the sizing of the c-bet, around half pot, with tptk. you could check it, since you have this board locked up and basically have the nuts at this point, but you want to build a big pot and I get that

    turn: you might want to just jam here, since if you get called, you only have around half a pot sized bet left and you can’t fold to any rivers ( if we ever would consider that ). when he just flats I would normally put him on a strong made hand, like 66 or 22, A6 or A2 or A9, but with these akward stack sizes, he can draw one, getting amazing implied odds and good pot odds. so we could also be ahead of some drawing hands, and we have the nut flush blocker. I think it’s a jam or a check/jam if you want to go with this hand

    river: how this hand is played, I think you have to move all-in on every river, so can’t really comment on that one.

    overall I feel like your opponent isn’t a very strong player, flatting 10 8s on that flop must be one of the worst flats to make in that position, you just got unlucky I’m afraid

    I agree with Laurens, preflop in EP after a limper I like to go to 15, I feel like 10 will just get a lot more limpers to come along, with AKo and being in poor position we want to get heads up.

    Flop: seems fine, you can check for deception and to balance your checking range but this is 1/2 lets try to stack a weaker Ace

    Turn: with your stack size here I would go for a check raise jam. once you bet $25 you basically have to go with the hand no matter the river. checking might induce your opponent to think you were just Cbetting the flop and missed your ace, giving him a chance to bluff

    River: with a pot of 90 and only 51 left in your stack you just have to go with it.

    The way it played out it, I would remember this villian and try to play as many pots with him in the future, easy $$$$. He floated an A high flop with only back door flush draw (he cant assume a 10 or 8 would be any good). Floated your turn bet with just a flush draw and binked his perfect card on the river, easy game right? The worst part is you only had 50bbs to start the hand so his implied odds weren’t very good even if he did get his flush. Note him as a fish and hope he is a reg!!

    Hey thanks for your answer Shipitbruh.

    it’s true that I could’ve checked the flop (or cbet, if I do cbet those kind of flops with my opening range that doesn’t has an ace, like Kx, Qx, 99-KK…)

    turn, I could certainly have checked (for those time I cbet without an ace and kind of give up on the turn). I balance my range, and I let villain the chance to bluff or value weaker hands.

    River, well, stiking my last $50 in that pot was the plan, so I did it… unfortunate result, but I guess that wasn’t really a mistake, more of a cooler I guess.

    I agree with Laurens.

    My strategy against deep stacks when I’m short (<35-45bb) is to shove any street if the board is wet and bet small if I feel I’m ahead on disconnected rainbow boards.
    If the flop came with two spades, I would shove the flop. Force him to fold even if he thinks that I am desperate and drawing or make him chase his expensive draw. I know it sounds silly, but this is the only way to make him shutdown. Betting small when I’m ahead is to induce a bluff because he would think that he has some fold equity.
