Playing $1/$2. Villain in this hand is pretty new to the table, I don’t recognize him. He opens to $7 from EP, gets 1 caller. I’m on the button with black KKs. I 3-bet to 25. The BB cold-calls, and the opener and other caller come along too.
4 of us to a flop of 642 with two clubs. BB checks, and villain donks for $37. Caller folds. I ask what he has behind, it’s about $80. I call (I want the BB in too), but BB folds.
Heads-up to a turn of a red 9. He bets some amount (about $40), and I instantly shove for his remaining stack. He calls pretty quickly.
River is an A clubs, so the worst card in the deck. He turns over Q10 of clubs.
The only two things I think are not optimal is flatting the flop, and then jamming the turn. I flatted flop to partially to try to keep the BB in, and also I would often re-raise here, so need to work in some calls… but looking back I prefer to jam it then.
The turn is ok in my opinion…I would never fold to a river bet of $40, so getting it in on the turn is fine – plus I was ahead then…
Idk, not sure it ever plays much differently, just frustrating when you’re a roughly 84% favorite. I’d been patient for so long! Lol
Cheers all
I think the 3 bet size pre-flop is a bit small. With a 3-bet to $25 the blinds have a halfway decent price to call expecting UTG to call (most people don’t fold many hands they raise UTG). And the initial raiser and caller have very good prices to call, each only needing 42% equity directly if they are the only caller. Then if UTG calls the first caller only needs 26% equity to have a profitable call. I would say a 3-bet of $35 is better.
On the flop why not just go all in? Charge the flush draws immediately and put him in a tough spot if he has something like Ax of clubs and then you can still represent a bluff. By calling you are letting him set the price. He probably still isn’t folding hands like JJ or QQ and I’d be surprised to see him fold TT. Neither of you should have sets and BB actually is most likely to connect with the board.
