    I know its only a 22 dollar bird but im sure hes not getting outta line with nothing very first hand. Maybe J10 or 55.

    What do you think?
     
  2. Pretty strong line on his part. Could def see him showing up with 55 or j10 with his flop raise on a pretty weak board. Is he a winning player?
  3. nahh hes not. But yea looked pretty strong ehh i folded tho, still early levels.

  4. these are tough spots for me too... if were planning on folding to whats basically a blank on the river (granted he didnt backdoor you) should we be folding that turn? Why call the turn if your plan is to fold to a river bet i guess idk? i suck and have trouble in these spots too
  5. He has AJ or KQ, I call.

    yea i agree i guess i just didnt wanna let it go to such a bad player but im sure he had me crushed dont see why he'd take that line with nothing.

  9. CALLLL
     
  10. Could QJ+ also be in his range here? Or would he check-call you down?

    Maybe you need to find out how strong he is by 4betting the flop/fold.

    When you called the turn, was it to see if he would bet strongly on the river. Which bet would you have called on the river?

    no
     
  13. Yea i called turn to see what he would do on river but if he had something like QJ he most likely checks river i think.

  14. so, was ur play the right one, just calling and folding to a strong riverbet? Or is there another better line?

    Is it better to call his 3bet on the flop and call his turnbet instead of losing chips with a 4bet on the flop if you have to fold to a 5bet?

    It already makes sense to me :)

    So some say go broke on the flop, you folded the river, any other options?
  15. eh i think i played i fine.

    flop was bet/raise, there is no 3 bet at this point

    and i don't think this is anywhere near the best way to play the hand, i don't like basing decisions on what randoms will or will not do on future streets, anyone can spazz, make the decision on the flop, either fold, call intending to call 2 more streets almost 100% including on a board like this or 3 bet/get it in, i could imagine doing any of the 3 but 22 fo random im 3 bet/getting it in
