THANK you for all the replies, I learned something ! and btw I didn’t have a flush draw with 2 overs it was just a King of clubs and Jack of diamonds i had the two overs and backdoors like Andrew Neeme mentioned.
i only played with her for 30mins or so and that was the only hand we played before she left. thanks for the advice !
HI,
THANKS FOR posting this hand.
I like the button raise with QJhh and i like the flat after the BB 3bet. Id quickly ask myself what type of player is in the BB and what his range of hands are to literally min click us back. If my read is player is tight and won’t get out of line I’d proceed cautiously obviously.
The flop comes as close to gin as it gets Th 8h 3s pot is $66 at this point. I believe your sizing is too big because if he has Ax hands or big pairs a 1/3 bet will accomplish the same thing. By betting $40 which is 2/3 you are putting yourself in a tough spot when you get raised because you can’t ever fold that flop with so much equity.
You bet $40 into $66 making the pot $106 and he shoves for $240 making it a pot of $346 and you have to Call $200 and you are 47% to win the hand so you’d need a pot of $400 to merit the call. NOT terrible but def a high variance play and IMO because of your pot bet sizing you got trapped.
Hey,
Game selection game selection and again I will stress game selection. At the end of the day 2-5 is just a donkfest like 1-2 or 1-3 only difference is the donks have more money at 2-5 or more money they willing to lose. For sure you will bump into more grinders but overall 2-5 is just as soft.
good luck with your transition. i am a 1-3 player and do take the occasional 2-5 shot when i see a yummy game full of Nemos.
Sorry just re-read your post again.
I just wanted to add that I would make it $20 pre. and if the villain is aggressive then why not raise flop to build pot? He is going to have a wide range so why not charge him for chasing flush draws/broadway str8 or peel turn with Ax.
Thanks 🙂
HI,
Thanks for posting the hand. I play 1-3 at my local casino.
The betting in this hand I believe is really dependant on your opponents range. The fact that he overcalled the early position limp makes me assume he doesn’t have any really strong holdings. Def don’t put him on AA,AK,AQ,KK,QQ,JJ,1010 or even 99. However some weak players may limp 10-10 or lower pocket pairs or even with AQ in the low limit games.
After the flop villain donk bets into the PFR 1/2 and here I would like to raise and start building the pot because there is broadway draws/flush draws and if my opponent did limp call with a weaker Ace he may even pay us on turn too. I would raise on flop to $30. By raising flop we narrow down his range and if he has an Ace or flush draw he’s not folding anyway. I am just curious why you just flat called? If i did just flat the flop like you did and turn rolled out a K I would probably just flat again because the raise allin only accomplishes us getting in vs QJ or AK, only two hands that makes sense that would get it in with us, and AK is unlikely in this scenerio. HOwever if our opponent actually had a strong hand he would let us know on flop after we raised him and if he has a set or AQ or A10o we might stack him. I totally understand that you didn’t want a scare card to roll out on the river because it was a draw heavy board on the turn but I do feel the jam is too much of an overbet and will miss out value in future similar encounters.
Hope that helps adding my 2 cents in. I am trying to learn the game and become better and better so its fun to bounce ideas.
