    gamble:????

    I am thinking I love the flop and the turn is not horrid either. I think the pot is near 170K and i have about 175k behind. I have seen so many lo limit players put out small blocker bets to draw cheap.

    Jam or flat??? I hate flatting here but...
  2. Top pair, FD, and a gutter and basically a pot stack on the turn. I don't think there should be much thought to this

  3. ruca's bet could be the blocker, or it could be the small baiting bet where they snap off your raise too. The turn is basically a blank except for bringing in the FD so I don't see why he'd block bet a blank here.

    He called your 3bet pre cold and then called your flop raise too. I doubt he is on air and there is a fair chance he has an overpair.

    So on the one hand you have the pot behind it's an easy shove with all those outs - but if he is never folding, there's some merit to just calling too - you'll have 20bb behind still roughly if you miss, and you are getting a sick price to draw to best case 9 hearts, 3 5's and 3 aces and the 2 non heart 9's for 17 outs or what lets say 30-34% depending on what cards he might have.

    so i don't mind just a call here depending on whether you think he is folding ever.
     
  4. I am thrown by his leading out on the turn - he has already been raised on the flop, does he not expect to get raised again? He was getting a great price to call pre, so his range is pretty wide - hard to believe he has 2 pair, but sets are plausible, as are hands like 98, T9, J9. Having said all that, with TPTK and the nut flush draw, I am probably just jamming with less thought than I have put into this post - which is probably a leak! Interested to hear results...

  5. i am not sure, maybe just acting to fast without thinking, but I never put him on an overpaar as most people will tend to want to reraise s hand that is vulnerable to a bad flop. Thanks for the insight tho,

    I think I convinced myself quickly on the turn that he had a hand like 4 5 and was betting small to get a cheap price for his outs.

  6. Live and learn ;)

    THere are a lot of micro guys that like to get value (so they think) by donk betting small knowing you will raise the nuisance bet - and they do it either when chasing, or as in this case when they have the goods.

    Equity wise though have you stoved this? You got the money in good in that respect. With the jam you had 33% pot equity.



    But as it turns out, even if you put him on an over pair: TT+ you got the money in good, thugh with only a slim edge. 36% hand equity. And if you rule out AA and make it TT-KK it's 37.5%

    So EV wise, you made a +EV shove. I think people could reasonably debate on whether shoving> calling here or not, but if he is going to likely barrel the river as well calling might well be > shoving here since you get his money but yet preserve your tny life.

  7. nh OP- bink it next time.

    And bon: you probably know this but 3r randoms are almost impossible to range. However villain's range is never just {TT+} OTT in the stars 3r.
    Once you add in spaz calls, stubborn calls, some weaker draws and villain's entire 9x range (if you play 3rs regularly you know villains are all still in there with those holdings) OP has just made an easy peazy, oh boy this is great, value jam.

    EDIT: And OP is iso-ing a limper PF, not 3-betting. Villain has a plethora of lesser holdings that might get involved here that could stubbornly stick around to the turn.
