99 (Nl2)

hey acephalia,

at Nl2 we see so many hands like that. Your opponent raised for the first time in his 29 hands and although he is in the SB this might be an indication of stronger range.

What confuses me a bit is his sizing on the river. We have to be ahead in exactly 25% to make this call profitable. What do you think? What is his range? Also his turn raise is pretty weak and with given odds i think we can still not do a big mistake if we call river.

I hope we will get also second oppinion

I hope it makes sense.

I put him on chasing a flush draw and that he hit it on the river. I think one of my main leaks is looking people up or being the sheriff of the table too much.. So that is why I folded.

Hi acephalia,

Like your flop bet and turn bet. Against his turn raise I could call it and see what he does on river.

When he takes this line he has so many other hands than just flush-draw (you can't put them always on that as they will have many other hands, too). He can have some slowplayed overpairs or even sets, flushdraws.

If the river was blank I could call it, but when the flush comes and board connects even more it's snap fold. He never bluffs with that sizing.

Yeah I need to work on the hands i put my opponents on.. i think i give too much credit, too little credit... Thank you again for all your help on my hands. It has definitely helped me improve.

Hi,

Just keep on posting hands and we can work with your thinking process You can also use our Equilab -tool to improve your own understanding about ranges and how certain hands are playing against given range in some spots.
