    What range does villain have on river? Is my play horrible? Is shoving profitable?
  2. hes got 1/3 of his stack in and if he thinks hes good on the turn that 3 didnt do anything for your hand probably.
  3. lol at this hand .. i mean honestly i read it somewhat quick but from what i gathered it really just looks like your trying to show that you arent just an "abc" player to the forums because this play doesnt make any sense especially since youve only been at this table for 1 orbit .. i just dont get what you are trying to do at this table as soon as you sit down with this hand and this spot

    and im confused u said u had been at the table for 1 orbit yet u state villians stats are over 50 hands .. im confused
  4. I have 50 hands on him because i had played with him before apparently (but i can't remember them, hence no reads).

    My cards are pretty much irrelevant as i'd take this line with a good amount of my range, and i think the play is fairly "abc" & makes a lot of sense....but....that is entirely dependent on my perception of the range of hands he'd play like this; i'm mostly interested in what people think fishy villains have when they take these kind of lines.

  5. check on river means he isnt super strong that is ruled out. he bet 2 other times and you raised, if he was strong he would just lead again and hope u raised so he could reraise.

    check obv means he is mediocre and doesnt want to get raised or missed his flushdraw.

    I see people do this all the time with flushdraws or a weak ace.

    i think shoving looks more supspect to weak aces who might call. only hands you fold with ur shove are flushdraws. I think half pot folds flushdraws as well. its risk reward here. i dont like shoving. just bet like $22-26, me more likely to fold a weak ace against that bet than he would an all in imo.

    but back to the question: range? flushdraw or weak ace
  6. yes your play is horrible lol fold pre. i can understand your raise size on the flop...but the turn....hes never ever ever ever ever ever gonna fold to a min raise there, ever!

    as said above i reckon either a missed flush/straight draw or a weak ace. he could have hit a higher two pair on the river with A3.

    in this spot it probs fire like $25 and have my fingers crossed he doesnt shove back! i think the flush/straight draws will make up the majority of his range here.

    also have you altered the hand history? coz you have 6 stacks at the top of the HH but only 5 actions pf...or was seat 4 or 5 sittin out?
  7. I wager a $25 green chip on the river
  8. - pre is fine

    - flop is fine

    - turn is beyond terrible. no way he's ever folding to a minraise there

    - river= just give it up. he has an ace, and he's not folding it.
  9. I should have emphasized stack sizes perhaps; my turn min-raise (and his call) makes the pot $37.50, villain has $42.03 behind by the river.

    I'm not trying to make him fold on the turn, just take a line that i think villain will feel is super-strong (i'm assuming that villain will not realize that any made hand < fullhouse would raise more to appropriately charge a flush draw, and that A4-AQ are all the same hand now) and give me maximum fold equity on the river.

    lookin at the stats your provided and the way he played this hand i highly doubt he will be thinkin anythin about how strong your hand is...youre givin him too much credit :)
  11. Yea, i'm like 95% sure he's playing his cards and not giving much thought to my actions, however i think he will feel that my turn min-raise is 'strong' (without really assigning me any range) - i think that if villain had a monster he'd min-raise the turn a good % of the time.

    This.

    after you repopped him on the flop (to his LOL minraise) and he called your reraise of 5x than you shouldve given up. that was your cheapest/most logically time to make a move...you made your move and it didnt work out, no biggie. but don't stack off because he can't fold. just use that information for the future and cbet the crap outta him. don't stack off and just get yourself in the hole with a fish. you will have plenty of time to get that $8 back, so relax and fold IMO

    if he minraised it either means:

    A) he is just cbetting like a donk and doesnt have anything, which means he folds to your reraise.

    or

    B) has a monster and is min betting because he is a donkey and doesnt want you to fold but wants more $$$ in the pot.

    after he called your 5x reraise i think its pretty clear what option it is. 15% of the time he might have KK and you could get him to lay it down with an all in river shove, but why would you even consider that? thats beyond spewy in general. you would have to have a sick read on the guy to justify that play...and even then.

    I lol'd. You're playing 100NL against a 37/7 player and you actually think you can set him up? Either drop it after the flop or make a real raise on the turn. In any event, it's probably not worth bluffing the turn vs. a 37/7 player who may call down with top pair/weak kicker and/or play a draw without proper pot odds. This type of player is in enough pots that you can take his money later by value betting every street with TPTK, 2 pair or a set. Unless you have a better history and have seen him fold in similar situations, let this one go on the flop.
