T8s turn

I think T8 is too weak to flat against 3bet. My default is fold, but I would rather bluff 4bet then flat.
Flop and turn are standard imo.

The problem is Vilain. He is very agressive and after I had to fold some other hands, I have to do something.

.

Exactly why I’m thinking of bluff 4bet. By default I would fold, but now, after a bit of playing in equilab, I think T9s should be call, T7s should be fold, and T8s is borderline, and I usually use borderline cases as 4bet bluffs.

For me it was a bluff. I wanted to make him fold a better hand. I think I was behind.

During all the session Vilain raised and reraised.

T8s is totally in my 3bet calling range CO vs BB. Bottom range but into range nevertheless.

Against a lag you don't want to widen your calling range too much, you adapt mostly by 4betting more and opening tighter. Playing solid from a slightly tighter opening range makes it easy as hell to crush these type of player. They are my favorites lol.

As played nh. Certainly not a bluff though x)

I was afraid of him.

Did he bite you ?

First of all, the hand is well played imo.
T8s is not im my calling range vs 3bets from the blinds often, but why not. Would be really the bottom of it.
If he is very agressive the best thing to do is let him hang himself. And no, I don't advocate calling that turn. I also don't advocate folding vs 3bets.
Just don't be afraid of any player, no one will bet with one hand pointing a desert-eagle into your face with the other hand. At least at a regular poker room. I don't play poker with the Mafia ♦
