NL30 FR 99 in utg

Hi,

It is very hard him to call you down with worse hands and even if he has smt like 55 I think he would rather turn that hand into bluff than call you down. I would prefer c/c myself, since he should also take his free showdown with a little better overpairs (I would also c/c aces that spot) and should only valuebet two pair or better hands.

best regards,

No, I wanted to push him off TT and JJ. Thought he can't have anything else because he would raise them.

Hello BadeaCelRau,

Why would he always want to raise you with sets? From what does he get called, plus he is also in multiway pot. So he would be representing a very strong hand! Your UTG range is also towards overpairs mainly which can be overplayed, so I am not excluding from his range sets.

But definitely Betting the river there is rather out of question, not really worth to turn our hand into bluff cause his range is also very capped there and nor you can't represent much. So only option would be to Check/Call but even that it's kinda waste of money cause there ain't really going to be many missed draws unless he is super loose, so I'd Check/Fold the river.

Best Regards.

Turnsize too big? FD's will fold?

Don't ask me, I don't know the guy nor have the other stats to analyze this. ♦ But most likely for a reg will this happen.

On the flop it was 3way. I can understand why he isn't raising, yes. But on the turn there is a flushdraw on the table, and I can have any suited ace and some kings but I'm not sure he knows that. The 7 further complicates the board so on any 4, 5, 9 or T on the river, as I already mentioned in my original post, I'm just check-folding and he's losing all value because the board will be 4 card straight. I know I'm representing a big overpair and my range is face up so he doesn't need to worry but he should worry about my willingness to further bet on such a wet flop.

Anyway, I looked in HM and I think the problem with this 'smart' russian is that he had no range to fold there because he is 3betting JJ and TT all the time. As you can see his 3bet is pretty high because he has a merged range, probably he watched too many MSS russian videos.

The problem on the turn is that your range is pretty much towards overpairs mainly and with raising he is almost always kicking them out, so his play was perfect.

I need to attent this nit school where everyone comes from
