I'm not sure about correctness of my 3bet on the flop. Please advise.
Thoughts I had on my mind was:
- his hand range is rather wide (rise from BU preflop) and he's ahead only with A5, AK, AQ, 55 (AK is not the case most probably because he would've CAP'ed preflop with them), so in most cases I'm ahead;
- I'll call him down in case of flop CAP;
- I'm OOP so I need to start filling the pot on yet on the flop.

Also was I right 3betting the turn?
I think that previous action from him might've shown pocket 55, in which case I lost, otherwise we just split the pot . So there wasn't need to 3bet the turn in any case.

3-bet flop is definately correct. if he isn´t an idiot you can call down after the turn raise because it will be a split nearly 100% of the time. but i´ve seen so much stupid shit on these limits that i think that a 3-bet turn might be for value ^^. maybe some donks do this with a 5 or something like that ;)


Yeah, that was what I was thinking about while playing this hand but I didn't want to post it as main reasons for my actions since my goal on lower limits is not only to build up my bankroll asap, but to learn to play correctly and be prepared for tough games on higher limits ;)


Cap river?

maybe i give the opponents on this limits too much credit but i can´t see him capping the turn without an A ?!


Hmm maybe but we don't lose anything by doing so.

rake ! :) and if he has 55 (once in a lifetime) we lose millions ;)
but guess you are right


Rake? I think the rake is already capped at the turn (at least on higher limits it would be so). If not then it's ok.

i´m not sure but isn´t the rake always 5% or 10% at all limits until it reaches 2 or 3$ ?


0,05$ / 1$ pot, max 1$ = 18 BB * 0,3 (blind size) * 0,05$ = 0,27$ rake, so you are right. It's not capped yet.

so how would this influence your play ? donk/call river or... ?
