Hero (BB): t540 27 BBs
BTN/SB: t460 23 BBs

Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is BB with T :heart: 6 :diamond:
BTN/SB calls t10, Hero checks

Flop: (t40) 2 :club: T :club: 5 :diamond: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN/SB bets t40

Villain is an unknown. No reads, prolly a fish. Also-with 2x here, would u consider leading or c/raising-fold as opposed to c/c flop?
What would u consider here, if say, flop was 346ss and we hold 68 off. What if it was a mono board and villain again goes for pot?

Hi all,

I think leading 5x and 2x is better. On this board I like c/c flop and c/r blank turn rather than c/r flop vs a psb, as his PSB is stronger yet still polarizing between draws and strong made hands IMO. I think vs a smaller bet value c/r is more reasonable.

346ss with 68o is a c/r/get it in for me vs a PSB.

346sss with 68s is really close. Lead/folding is probably best.

But the thing with leading 5x and 2x is that villain can call many worse hands and there are rarely any good turns/rivers for us. I think a fish here will float really light on a lead. Any 2 overs, 67,87,97, J9, K7 etc type of hands.

Then the question always pops up for me-did he call with Tx or is he likely to raise with Tx, so we need to double barrel often imo, turning our hand into a bluff as c/f is too weak imo given all the floats he could have. I guess problem happens when he bet/flats the 2bet.

On the other hand-if he c/b he doesn't have a pair usually imo, so we can fire many turns for value. Or you disagree?

Hi all,

I think we get a lot of value from floats by taking a b/f line against a fish. We bet flop and c/c most turns exploiting the fact that they often fastplay their stronger hands. In fact this is the line I take against better players too, however because they know to slowplay more on the flop, our turn c/c becomes less profitable.

i think bet/get it in with T6o is good flop...i would go for t30 and shove if he raises. and go for triple barrel probably.

with 5X or 2X, i would go for c/c he will cbet this pretty light i think, and we can get value from his bluffs, then we evaluate turn and river, but probably folding turn or river if he continues betting.

Hello,

The correct default line here in this spot is pretty much always to check/call. Vs a random I'm basically check/calling my entire range on this flop, including 5x, 2x, and draws.

I've seen in some videos of ZZzTilt that he prefers to c/r his weak hands here-like 2x and 5x as we don't know how villain will continue on the turn-is he double barreling with nothing, is he value betting a good 5, is he betting with a much better hand and thus there ain't almost any good turn/rivers for us, so that leaves us in the dark. Even if he bets flop with nothing, by us c/c he still has about 25% with 2 overs to counterfeit our pair by the river.

So if we go with population tendencies of fish limping weak range and more often lead it than c/b, than I think c/r with 2x,5x becomes a reasonable line.

In general, people don't blindly triple off stacks on this board in my experience. With all due respect to zzztilt, check/raising flops with our 2x/5x type hands appears to be done without a real plan past the flop. We're turning a pair into a bluff on the flop, which isn't generally a good plan for HUSNGs.

What is your plan if we checkraise and get shoved on? Or villain calls? Both are very likely options when villain pots flop, and certainly he can have both a stronger hand than us and draws, and now we have no plan past our checkraise - or we're getting in stacks with a marginal hand and not a lot in the way of reads. Since we should also be flatting our Tx hands here, calling will often freeze opponent into checking a lot of brick turns. If it doesn't and opponent is the type to barrel off blindly, we're going to get into better spots when we're likely to have that stronger read.

Thanks again for the input. So your plan is to c/c everything here and what do you do with 2/5x when villain continues to double barrel or with Tx when the flush completes or there is Ax/Kx/Qx?
