BB

postflop

notes:
- 140bb deep calls small 4bet oop w 76s, to my 1/3p barrels spazz away his stack w no EQ
- capable of spewy moves pre (light 5bet shove) and postflop (bluffs away 140bb in 4bet pot) as well
--> play solid vs him, avoid out-of-line bluffing frequencies

His IP flop raise is very high (33%), and we are somewhat deep plus BvB, so his range could be extremly wide.
As he is aggro on the turn too, I chose the call flop, chRaise turn line. Due to bigger stacksizes, should I chRaise smaller, or is shove OK? I thought if I chRaise to something like 26$, I look committed anyway, so no big difference, just giving draws a better price to catch.

What would be the bottom of your calldown range in this spot btw? His range is wide, and he keeps being aggressive on turn/river as well (AFq T/R 40/37%), so is it OK to ch/calldown on any non- turn/river with KQ? Or any TP?

Hi D,

With the hand, You can consider a small flop 3bet. You have a note that you should not spazz vs him so if you do something that looks spazzy it should induce a spew from him imo. Plus, flop 3bet is more likely a bluff than turn check/shove.

Against him you should cbet hands good enough to call vs a raise and some air with OK equity like gutshot, some overs. I would not cbet a hand like JJ for example, unless you are comfortable calling down with it.

My checking range then would be some midpairs, maybe some of the flushdraws as well, some top pairs with not great kicker. You can also consider check/raising 22, 55, AA and some flushdraws since you cannot cbet a high frequency vs him.

Regarding your last question, you can see that we split our top pair in more than one range (checking and betting) so I would try to always have hands that continue against him. If you do bet with a top pair, I would not fold it. If you think you should bet/fold a top pair against such a player in these positions you have to rethink the value of betting it in the first place if he doesn't call worse.

When his actions are raise or fold you should not cbet for thin value as a default.
