NL5 Zoom A5s deep OOP

Another hand with the same situation:

BTN: $5.07 (101.4 bb)
SB: $3.11 (62.2 bb)
BB: $5.54 (110.8 bb)
Hero (UTG): $5 (100 bb)
MP: $6.68 (133.6 bb)
CO: $12.85 (257 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 8♣ A♣
Hero raises to $0.15, MP folds, CO calls $0.15, 3 folds

Flop: ($0.37) 4♣ 6♣ 5♠ (2 players)
Hero bets $0.28, CO raises to $0.64, Hero raises to $1.85, CO raises to $12.70, Hero calls $3.00 and is all-in

Turn: ($10.07) 2♥ (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: ($10.07) A♥ (2 players, 1 is all-in)

21/15 reg, 3bet:10 (based on just 37 hands). Playing draws OOP is tough for me...

Hey Absolutism,

Hands are not really the same situation because we are deep in one and not the other. In the 2nd one we also have gutshot outs.

In the first hand when deep I recommend you just flat vs flop raise. In the second it's fine to 3bet and get the money in.

OK, but then, if i just call the raise on the flop, what should i do on the turn?

If i hit, and i check, he will most likely just check behind, then i bet river, he calls with sets/2pairs, folds the rest.

If i dont hit, i cant really check/call the turn, cause it will be superobvius what i have, so if i hit the river, he wont pay me out.

Hey Absolutism,

Basically why do we 3bet draws? Because we expect to generate fold-equity.

A big problem we have is that guys are just not raising the flop that light at these limits. As a result we don't generate any fold-equity with a re-raise a lot of the time. We are simply building the pot when we have a dominated hand.

On the turn we have to check. If villain bets again we evaluate our pot-odds and implied-odds based on his sizing and calculate if we have a profitable call. Yes - to a good play our range may be face up. There is not a huge amount we can do about this - it's basically just an inherent disadvantage of being OOP. Villain is not necessarily good of course and likely will pay us off anyway if we hit.
