nl5FR 77 BB

Sizing is.fine given the number of draws he can have. I like the check raise as you say villain is very agro so you get max value from bluffs and if he has a hand you wanna be able to shove river.

Nothing special to add. Seems fine overall ♦

Just another question here to maybe help you with your overall game - what hands are you defending from BB versus CO that plays like this one here? Would you defend wider versus someone, who open lets say 35 %?

Hello,

Usually we just call with weak pocket pairs. I guess that it is better to call than 3bet versus aggressive and tilting player. At least I wouldn't want to face a 4bet.

On the flop I would fold this. Flop doesn't help us and our villain might have something like top pair or draws. We could lose a lot of money trying to bluff tilting player who holds weak top pair and we have invested only 3bb in the pot.

Hi la55i,

I thin we should NEVER fold this flop. Yes, he could have top-pair or overpair, but that's just so small part of his range tbh. Mostly he is holding very weak hands here, like overcards or some Ax with flushdraw. So I'm always calling this flop.

One could evaluate this for example with equilab and put some sort of CO ranges there versus this hand on this flop.

I usually do fold on flop here, but i just thought this time well im probably ahead of alot of villains range here and if i do hit set on turn the implied equity ( if thats the correct word ) maybe worth it.
