Hello!

IPoker, $0.10/$0.20 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

BB: $54.06 (270.3 bb)
UTG: $20.20 (101 bb)
MP: $7.36 (36.8 bb)
CO: $25.22 (126.1 bb)
BTN: $8.09 (40.4 bb)
Hero (SB): $20.18 (100.9 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A J
2 folds, CO raises to $0.60, BTN folds, Hero raises to $1.80, BB folds, CO calls $1.20

Flop: ($3.80) 6 5 6 (2 players)
Hero bets $2, CO calls $2

Turn: ($7.80) Q (2 players)
Hero bets $4, CO calls $4

River: ($15.80) J (2 players)
Hero bets $8.20, CO raises to $16.40, Hero calls $4.18 and is all-in

Preflop: The CO looks like a regular and since I would be oop postflop and he is relativelly unknown to me, I decided to 3bet as a bluff. When he called, I expect him to have something like 77-JJ, AJ-AK and KQ.

Flop: I don't like the paired board, but it's not that likelly that he has a 6, fullhouse or four of a kind. So, I decided to cbet with my flushdraw and two owers. With betting I can make some better hands, like AQ and AK, to fold, and I can get value from overpairs on later streets if I hit my flushdraw, but maybe even A or J. When he calls, he most likelly has an overpair. I think I could bet a bit bigger, to set an all in situation on the river, if I hit.

Turn: Hit my flushdraw and bet for value. When he called, he might have a middle pair, AQ or KQ.

River: Because of a bad planning, now I have a bit too much money to shove, so I decided to bet half a pot to get value from hands that called the turn (TP's and middle pairs). When he raised, I have no choice, but to call.

CO: 33/24/33/33/2,0/92 (VPIP/PFR/Ft3B/FtFlopCB/AF/H)

Hi Alleen86,

Would bet bigger like 3/4 pot on the Turn in order to go all in on river. If opponent is aggressive enough check/raise on the turn is possible too.

Myself I would often check/fold on the turn with a draw (not being a monster draw).

Hey Alleen89

Pre: I don't think this is a 3b as a bluff. For me this is a value 3b. The CO is loose and doesn't like to fold to 3bets. It's not the best hand in our 3b value range but still value imo.

Post: like you said bet slightly bigger on the turn. BUT! Who says can't shove now as played? You have slightly less then a pot sized bet left. I'd just stick it in there!

Yeah, as I said in my previous post, I'm a bit scared at the moment at NL20 and rather decide for 3b bluffs than anything else. Probably AJs is something between.. Not sure what worse hands he would call. In this particular hand, he had JJ. Nice
