MP: $27.96 (VPIP: 23.53, PFR: 17.65, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 17)
CO: $22.20 (VPIP: 36.67, PFR: 16.67, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 31)
BTN: $7.75 (VPIP: 61.30, PFR: 34.24, 3Bet Preflop: 6.68, Hands: 986)
SB: $7.79 (VPIP: 36.36, PFR: 9.09, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 22)
BB: $14.25 (VPIP: 30.37, PFR: 20.95, 3Bet Preflop: 8.75, Hands: 1,668)
Hero (UTG): $15.00

SB posts SB $0.10, BB posts BB $0.25

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.35) Hero has J :club: J :diamond:
Hero raises to $0.75, fold, fold, BTN calls $0.75, fold, BB raises to $2.90, Hero calls $2.15, fold

Flop : ($6.65, 2 players) 5 :heart: 7 :spade: 6 :heart:
BB bets $2.99, Hero ??

Now...this is a very straighty board...88+ AKh, AQh and maybe some AK combos are all going to call a shove here...does it make sense to peel and fold if he cbets the T?? Or shove the F hoping that 88-TT and flush combos call??

Another thought...should I be 4betting PF?? Its basically a shove or call spot...

Cheers,
TC

Hi,

In my opinion preflop is perfectly standard, we just have to keep it in mind that he is squeezing versus your utg range, so he is probably reasonably tight here.

You have 1,6k hands of this guy yet we have no idea of his postflop tendencies so it is very hard to tell what to do against him in this spot. It might be ridiculous but I would recommend folding the flop vs an unknown, simply because I do not expect him to cbet this drawy flop with air OOP vs a utg range and almost all turns are terrible for us. Shoving is definitely an overplay imo.

BB 3bet - 10
F Cbet - 70
T Cbet - 36

Calling flop and seeing if T cbet happens is probably the optimal plan...fold to a bet and evaluate board if he checks...??

Hi TeamCupcake

Preflop: looks fine, I think it's a bit light to stack off from UTG even shallow here (although you could min 5-bet to induce if villain is aggro/spewy).

Postflop: We have a lot of hands on the guy so what do we know about aggression/continuation bets? Is he aggro or passive?

He is betting really small on that board so that alone makes me feel more comfortable with the hand and we can peel one. However, if he's been passive so far I'd be more worried although ask yourself why call preflop if we fold a flop where we have an overpair?

He falls into that "pressure player"...likes to be the aggressor in pots and put pressure on other players. Not a big trapping player except when c/r cbets.

You're right, besides hitting a J we are looking to beat the board. A min raise/fold line might suffice normally...but with other drawing hands he could have he is almost certain to shove. Call and fold to his shove on turn or get to SD with JJ??
