0,1/0,2 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (8 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Elephant 0.90 by www.pokerstrategy.com.
Preflop: Hero is UTG2 with A♥, A♦
Hero raises, MP1 folds, MP2 3-bets, MP3 folds, CO caps, 3 folds, Hero calls, MP2 calls (All-In).
Oh, Aces! Always a nice view before the flop... Even vs two tight players, my equity here is 71%.
Flop: (12,60 SB) Q♦, 6♣, 5♦ (2 players)
Hero bets, CO raises, Hero calls.
Would 3-bet here be a better option, to keep the initiative? My equity is around 63%. Given CO is loose, i'm considering he has KQ or QJ. I don't think he would cap with hands like 66, but QQ is a real danger.
Turn: (8,30 BB) Q♠ (2 players)
Hero bets, CO raises, Hero 3-bets, CO caps, Hero calls.
I c-bet. His raise is likely a made hand. Even worse when he caps. Was my 3-bet here a mistake? I think it was. Well, at this point, either he has a Q, and i'm way behind, or he doesn't, i'm way ahead. Switching strategy to WA/WB.
River: (16,30 BB) 8♥ (3 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero calls.
No real risk of a straight at this point. As i'm in a WA/WB situation, i just check/call.
Final Pot: 18,30 BB
Without spoiling the evaluation by saying the result, i found out in the end that both my opponents were way out of the expected hand range. My final question is: how to adapt your hand-reading skills to looser players?
