Well you put in a 1/3 of your stack, we should be shoving that flop, most of the time. But if you only think he has AA, i guess you're c/fing.
-
also i just vomited in my mouth after rereading the HH and seeing you c/c the turn and c/f the river
-
lol - if I were truly trolling you would know

I think this is a bad hand to post. With that being said, he's never flatting non paired hands. All is going to come down on his read of you and if he thinks you could be 4b light or not. His range is like TT+, and will be betting his entire range on the river. Your hand is entirely face up, and he's just gonna own you on the river. So if you're going to fold the river, just fold the turn. Bet the flop tho for sure, you have so much equity

not too bad gagaroonnnii. I disagree w/ betting the flop tho, i think u need to just abort, even when the A hits you literally beat nothing but bluffs and lets be honest how often is he gonna be bluffing in this spot considering his 3bet/flat range. It looks like ur range nails this board so i doubt hes gonna put any chips in unless hes got it. Pre is fine tho im kinda surprised he flatted u here i cant think of any hands that its good to flat here. pretty ugly spot tho... as played riv is a pretty std fold id guess

Well I guess I am a spewtard but with all that money in the pot I think I am jamming flop.
I think Stamm's range needs some room here 'cause he is in position and is getting decent odds on a call. So like if he really has the AA/trips I guess you have 4 outs (though I can't see how he just flats JJ/QQ pre, AA maybe though he must know u are calling shove so I doubt that one too), but even if he has KK you have 7 and if he has less than that he is prob folding.
If you call turn there how can u f river? Call on the end, imo he has K10s, ul. -
I mean for instance if he 3bets a 22bb stacks open, he's obv never folding to that stack size after 3betting... TDT07 has ~30bb basically i'm just thinking stamm prolly wouldn't be 3bettin that stack too lite (i cood be way wrong here) and in that case I like a shove pre instead of a 3x raise
-
Way out of my buy in level but I do think this is an interesting hand. My question is since you are obviously commiting yourself with the 4 bet why would he not just go ahead and shove KK/AA (unless you would fold pre which I doubt). Also Dave why do you say he beats nothing but bluffs even when the ace hits the turn, You think the only hands in his range are AA/QQ/JJ (or 77 I guess, I assuming we don't think he is flatting K10) even after spiderweb checks to him twice. Doesn't it kind of look like he has given up on the hand as you discussed? Sorry that I actually can't contribute but I have no idea what the hell he could have here, and I probably go broke on the flop or turn every time.

I'd almost chk turn here and pay off river bet...I'm def not getting in one pair this deep here...I mean everything he flats pre already has u killed except AK...AQ, QQ, JJ...might as well chk behind turn and call cheap river bet.
EDIT: Misread whole HH...there's like 45 in the pot and ur not even paying 1/2 of it. Just call and sigh. -
jacks beat u, queens beat u, AQ beats u AJ beats u (idk about him flatting either of these but mehhhhh idk)... obv aces beat u. Kings i dont see playing this way nor do i tens so wipe them outa his range tbh. Any hand that hes not turning into a bluff does beat you so your just banking on him bluffing here. Stamm knows better than to bluff in spots like this so idk unless theres alot of history ive missed or hes just lost his mind and decided to play this hand like shit i think ur in horrible shape vs his range here and id just give up post flop and not commit any more money. Your plan was to get it in pre and since that didnt happen and the board sucks just give up.

lead flop and fold if theres a raise, if he calls c/f the turn. u r beat and up against a set. So simple to figure out. if you jamming pre than thats terrible....AK is not a made hand ppl but I love how u all think.
-
Bro, I think this hand is noteworthy, b/c me an STAMM are both 60bb effective,I had 3 bet him quite a bit, and he had made quite a few calls vs me oop,
I mean I have no qualms about gettin this hand in preflop, but by him flatting me, it really thru me off. Also I thinki by shoving such a strong hand pre, we lose a lot of equity, I mean Im basically only getting called by hands I dont wanna be called by.
SWD805 u really open shove here?
I almost shoved flop.....but i felt like it nailed his range....
Turn didnt help me much either, judging from the range.. I personally think if i am going to proceed in this hand, I need to shove here...b/c I know hes capable of firing on the river.
Will wait to see if I get a few more responses before revealing, if yall even care what he has, b/c I think thats beside the pt... -
i love how a $6 player feels the need to berate, and criticize plays, which they couldnt begin to fathom..
-
He's got you covered. Your 3rd raise put in over 1/3 of your chips.
I don't want to give up the button with a hand that is strongest seeing all 5 cards.
Shove pre all day. -
He's actually a live 1kNL player (his threads are lol worthy).

I'm small time, but I'm having trouble understanding why shove isn't the best option, or at least the most preferable option. There is already 8k + blinds and antes in the pot. Hero has approx 50k in chips and villian has approx 61k. Your 4bet here places about 30% of your chips in the pot. So really 4betting to 15k and 4bet shoving likely contain very similar ranges for your hand. (Maybe you're only 4betting to 15k here so Stamm can place some airy hands in your range? But I don't know why you'd want to do that against stammdogg in this spot with him already showing some strength 3betting the 25ish BB stack, plus you're OOP.) If you're going to raise it up at all I just think the value of your AK comes from seeing all 5 cards, and since you're less likely to be up against AA or KK it probably, at least to me, makes more sense to put the pressure on Stamm with a shove. Interesting hand though. -
4bet 18k pre... then he shoves or folds.
rest of the hand becomes a total guessing game. with your smaller 4bet, what are you trying to accomplish, induce a shove? meh, im not feeling it. i like a shove more than your 4bet size... 18-19k pre > shove > 15k.
