partypoker - $0.10 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 100 BB (VPIP: 20.45, PFR: 16.44, 3Bet Preflop: 8.37, Hands: 1,388)
Hero (SB): 353.8 BB
BB: 62.2 BB (VPIP: 30.00, PFR: 15.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 20)
UTG: 178.4 BB (VPIP: 21.45, PFR: 17.16, 3Bet Preflop: 8.80, Hands: 310)
MP: 126.1 BB (VPIP: 25.47, PFR: 21.77, 3Bet Preflop: 9.74, Hands: 2,343)
CO: 87.2 BB (VPIP: 36.36, PFR: 9.09, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 11)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♠ 2♠

fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 2.4 BB, Hero raises to 9 BB, BB calls 8 BB, BTN calls 6.6 BB

3-betting a steal here, BTN is a solid reg with 40% attempted steal. 3-betting instead of calling to not give BB a chance to squeeze.

Flop: (27 BB, 3 players) A♣ 5♦ T♣
Hero checks, BB checks, BTN checks

We get called by two players and are OOP. Plan is to check/call once and re-evaluate turn.

Turn: (27 BB, 3 players) 3♦
Hero bets 16.9 BB, BB calls 16.9 BB, fold

Betting here to protect vs weak flush draws. Our bet also seems bluffy and might get called by JJ, QQ.

River: (60.8 BB, 2 players) 6♦
Hero checks, BB bets 36.3 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 36.3 BB

I think the fish has enough bluffs in his range here to make this a profitable call, but not really sure.

Spoiler

Hero shows A♠ 2♠ (One Pair, Aces)
(Pre 60%, Flop 81%, Turn 91%)
BB mucks K♠ Q♦ (High Card, Ace)
(Pre 40%, Flop 19%, Turn 9%)
Hero wins 126.8 BB

His HUD is his brain. He's kind of the Rain Man of poker.

As played I like it until OTR where I'd have thought it'd be hard to find him enough bluffs... but then again it seems I'd have been wrong ^^

You better take notice of all the involved stacksizes preflop. It doesn't make any sense to raise a hand like A2s if there is midstack behind you. And it´s particularly not a great hand to raise because you will end up in many silly spots. It makes more sense to 4bet these kind of hands since you block a few of his combos. But 3betting A4s esp oop is just like burning moniez - you want him to fold, it´s not a value raise.

As played nh! Doesn't look like a value bet otr and you prob beat him unless he made a twopair.

Preflop 3b is fine. You shouldn't be calling in the SB, so there is no other option really. Flop is fine and I like the reasoning. I prly would range x here. T is fine. R is a fold imo. You will have better hands to call with (hands that block diamonds). Another thing is, that fish is gonna value bet here 2p and sets as well, so I really think this calldown is not required. I can agree he can have some bluffs but he's got much more value hands imo.

Why you play with 300+BB?

No particular reason, I usually just sit down and don't reset my stack until I finish the session. Is there a particular reason I should be doing it :f_cool:?

Yes, I would strongly recommend to leave every time you reach 150BB. Actually the best would be to leave when you have 120BB, but that can get a bit annoying. The problem is that deepstack strategy is a lot different and you don't know it (neither do I). It's better to figure out your 100BB deep gameplan first and then you can start with deep stack game.

I think it's ok as played. Villain is short stack and his bet is not that big, compared to the pot. He was proably committed to the pot and saw you with a weak hand after you checked the river after betting the turn. He could have some bluffs.
I'm not sure how I would have played, but ai think it would be the same on the river. Pre flop I wouldn't 3bet probably.
