This is a hand that happened today in a 1/3 game
I have 400 behind villain has 600.
I am on the button with 9D9H
LJ opens 15 CO calls I 3 bet on the button to 45 Both call
Flop comes 10c 8h 2c
LJ check in dark CO check I bet 45 LJ call CO raise 165 I call LJ tank fold
Turn comes QofS
CO jams I tank fold after he shows me an 8. He had 10D 8D and flopped 2 pair
Is that a bad flop call? There are so many straight and flush draws on the board. Feel like he could have called me preflop with any suited ace, some suited kings, some 6-7S or something. Don’t think a weak 10 is check raising this board and in my mind he had a lot more bluffs in his range than value… occasionally maybe a set of 8 or a set of 2s but that’s just far less likely. It feels like I shouldn’t have called there but I just don’t know how to justify it.
It's 1-3, how often are any of these players raising as a bluff here?
There are xr semibluffs at 1/3
Not at a high enough frequency in a 3! pot
I always bluff at 3! Pots.. theres more money in there more likely to bluff im not trying to bluff at a pot of 5bb
You are just one player in the pool, I’m more concerned about pool tendencies
young aggro players always x/r this flop w/whole range
raise larger pre
You called a check raise post flop with a mid pocket pair, but - you were kind of pot committed with what you had behind
The statistical correct decision I believe was jamming to the post flop check raise, but it’s very unlikely your opponent was folding
As an exploit at 1/3, I'm fine with the fold to the flop x/r.
Agree, I would’ve too
Too small of a 3-bet pre when you have a caller already.
Fold the flop, x/r at these stakes is almost value and you don't even beat top pair. Best you could reasonably be up against is a combo draw, and even that's favored against you.
why y'all always trying to inflate pots at 1/3. you are never taking this down preflop for a reasonable amount, and you have a great hand to call in position.
4x check raise T high board is an instafold, nm there is still one left to act (who tanked btw). again, y'all overcomplicate this.
Why bet so small on flop?
I don't think it was a bad flop call
Checking to pre-flop raiser isn't really a check raise
Folding turn made sense
Pre should be 60ish. Calling the flop is insanity (people don’t bluff enough in 3 bet pots, people aren’t going to x/r bluff into two people very often, sizing is large, you’re not even closing action if LJ is somehow trapping), I may lay down AA there absent a read.
Don’t post results if you want good feedback.
The problem with flop call is we block the hands we want him to have
