$10+$1

Stacks:
UTG (2,020k)
UTG+1 (1,700k)
CO (502k)
Hero (BTN) (1,273k)
SB (1,069k)
BB (1,274k)

Blinds: 20k/40k Ante 5k

Pre-Flop: (90k, 6 players) Hero is BTN 8♠ 9♣
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to 120k, 1 fold, Hero raises to 272k, 2 folds, UTG+1 calls 152k

Flop: 10:heart: 6♣ 10:club: (635k, 2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets 152k, UTG+1 calls 152k

Turn: 4♣ (940k, 2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero ???

3 tables left, villain was running 28/16 with 6.3% bet and 57% fold to 3bet (4/7). I was opening a lot but not 3betting at all. His 3x open is standard for him.

Do you like flop bet/sizing and what should I do on this turn? Check and realise equity or jam? He's never folding decent pairs with fd, Tx or flush obviously (if he decided to c/c instead of c/r with it). I have 843k left and he has 1.27M.

Thanks!

i prob just fold pre imo u r just spewing with 3 beting

if I 3bet I 3bet bigger smth like 320k cos 3x call smalish 3 bets a lot

on that flop i'll just Cbet ~45%-52% pot or just ch behind and evaluate turn depending on history/dinamic and my previous play

i dont like ur sizing in this spot on flop u r just bloating pot imo

turn without reads is ugly idk

Hi all,

I like preflop against this opponent. The hand you chose to do it with is fine as well because he'll probably call more than he 4bets, and it's nice not to be dominated by his calling range. Sizing we can make it slightly more against a 3x'er.

Flop is quite awkward. Once you bet so small I just feel that if he does have a hand like QJ or KQ he'll peel one off (fish gonna fish). As a result I feel it's mandatory for us to ship it in on the turn to get him to fold those hands. Personally I would make the same sizing as you have against most opponents, but against a fish we can definitely get away with making it 250k and defining his range a lot better. If you did decide to make it such a small sizing I would really concentrate on trying to get a timing tell from his call. Long time then call or snapcall here = weighted towards monsters/flushdraws, medium time, call = overcards IMO. Without that information I think shoving as a default is superior.
