Mp i suppose a fish

Co 16/14, i would definitly fold my hand if i get action from him. Best i woul run into is a monster FD. But i think he would almost always have a set if he raise

Preflop pretty standard.
Flop, I am not sure if i would ever barrel out as a bluff, should i?
I also dont wanne give CO to much value for flopping a set here.
There are some GS and a FD that the villains could call with. For the GS the dont get the price. The flushdraw calls no matter how big i bet. If they have one i loose some value against it by betting so smallish. But maybe getting more value from bad hands. Every side has its pros and contras

Turn doesnt matter what i do i will loose my whole stack. Here i try to induce villain to ship or call a bad hand. I think he is willing to ship Kx here to protect his hand. Our hand looks like something with a FD ;-)

What do you think?

Hey Grossmeister,

Preflop squeeze is ok here. I don't think it is necessary to squeeze so large.

Flop cbet for value is good, sizing is fine. We'd likely at least have some semi-bluffs here.

I disagree with turn comments. I think we can bet small and fold to a raise. I doubt bet/raising is +EV here.

why betting then at all? I dont like to fold the best hand at this point. I am pretty sure that b/f is not a good option. We get good odds and we also induce villain here to do something stupid.
He could easyily go broke with KQ,QxXc, AcXx. Sounds pretty ridiculous that we are not in front 3 out of 10 times. especially on this limits. There are so many recreational players and bad regulars.

I think we should bet bigger bc its nearly unpossible for him to make any mistake against our turn sizing. The only mistake that he could do is to go crazy with a weak or drawing holding, but if not call.....

Hey Grossmeister,

The problem here is that most opponents are simply not playing 1-card club draws like this, they are calling way more frequently. So even directly shoving would be a better option than bet/raising.

The reason why we may bet if we bet/fold is for value/protection. We don't want to give free cards to any one-card club draws in opponents range so it's often better to bet than to check. For value we can bet small because on this particular turn card it can be very tough to extract additional value from non-flush hands so it allows us to get called by a wider range.

Let's say we thought opponent was a huge calling station it's better to shove the turn than to bet/raise.
