PokerStars - $0.10/$0.20 (6 max) - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (SB): 23.45 BB
BB: 15.3 BB (VPIP: 27.69, PFR: 11.54, 3Bet Preflop: 2.13, Hands: 133)
CO: 24.6 BB (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 18.18, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 35)
BTN: 22.05 BB (VPIP: 43.43, PFR: 15.15, 3Bet Preflop: 7.14, Hands: 103)

Hero posts SB 0.25 BB, BB posts BB 0.5 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 0.75 BB) Hero has A♠ 9♦

CO raises to 1 BB, BTN calls 1 BB, Yohan?...

I think 3-betting is best, it's 4-handed so I think you're +ev. Problem is position ofc, but I think 3-betting is best anyway, then go from there.

But it's 10/20c, so the right line is probably cold call and cap missed flop with a runner runner trips in mind.

it looked ironic, but i bet he slipped a c there. he meant GTO play, which you'd need to use multiway when playing T/TT

So what is GTO then do you think?

Exploitatively (<- This is not to be found in dictionaries. Is it proper English?), based on their stats there is no way I have the equity to raise. I have the equity to call, but calling means I'll usually win the small pots if I hit, and lose the bigger ones (domination). Folding with 30-31-ish% equity and a discount is weak.

Still hate all options.

Not to be found either. We need an inbred Englishman here to resolve this

I tend to agree with the 3-bet. No equity advantage, but easier to play postflop. If raised on turn (with an A hit) - toss it.

Roll a dice! 1-2 fold 3-4 call 5-6 raise. Me I would 3bet, I like to 3bet, makes me feel all manly. You are ahead of CO's range, and BU's is kinda undefined, but he prolly wouldve raised his better A, so the risk of being dominated there is small and it looks like you could get BB to fold for one free blind... so youde get a bigger pot in which you have greater EQ, the only problem is the position really, the dominated ace isnt that much of an issue imo, it will happen and it always sucks but A9 is just one less than AT and you wouldve 3bet that one without thinking. A CO opr has worse aces than A9, I open A2s in the CO. Chanses are he will cap AK and AQ (reads there ofcourse) but if that doesnt happen then the only dominating aces are AJ AT vs a greater number of aces you have dominated.

Exploitive and Exploitative are both correct although exploitative is the preferred form

http://grammarist.com/spelling/exploitative-exploitive/

To me Exploitative sounds better and is less of a tongue twister anyway....

English is dumb :f_eek: :f_eek:
