Pre Flop: (1.5 SB) Hero is SB with K :spade: Q :spade:
1 fold, BTN raises, Hero 3-bets, BB calls, BTN calls

Flop: (9 SB) 8 :club: 8 :heart: 6 :diamond: (3 players)
Hero bets, BB calls, BTN calls

Turn: (6 BB) 5 :spade: (3 players)
Hero bets, BB folds, BTN calls

River: (8 BB) 9 :diamond: (2 players)
Hero bets, BTN calls

Final Pot: 10 BB

BTN is 53/20/2.3/44
BB is 54/5/0.8/41
I guess they can call just about anything on the flop so I fire again. This might be a mistake as I think he is very showdown bound w Ahi. River is just a crying bet because I wasn't comfortable check/calling.

I think betting the turn is okay as the flop is somehow "floatable" with overcards.

The river is interesting. He is aggressive and I think he would have bet/raised a pair/overpair. So the main question is whether he folds enough aces on the river. That is somehow difficult to judge "from the distance". Many low Aces improved on the board and high aces might probably not fold with 44 WTS. But the odds are good.

I don't really know, but a bet is not that bad. c/c sucks in my opinion.


I give this up on the turn. Sure you may be ahead sometimes but you won't make A-high to fold and against 2 you often have to bet the river as well to have a chance of making then fold anything. Against tighter opponents I like a bet more.

As played it's either check/fold or bet/fold. I don't see him holding a made hand very often as he is very aggressive and probably would have raised it. The 9 :diamond: complets a few straightdraw but if he is a thinking LAG he may call most A-high hands anyway as you don't have many sevens in your range (well your range beats his A-high hands anyway) so he might call too often to make a bet profitable.

I tend to check/fold but am unsure. :(

Giving this up on the turn as well, due to the opponents. Basically what ciRith says there...

I'm check/folding the river as well, no better hands of this opponent are going to fold IMO so I don't see any use in betting at all, and I don't see (any/enough) worse hands bet to play check/call.
