Hi

Opponent in 327 hands: 23/17 AF 1.8, steal from CO 30, fold to 3bet 30, fold to cbet 3bet pot 50.

Mmmmm I seriusly believe that I overplay this hand, and could be a leak on my game.

I think the PF 3bet is OK, but on the flop I have opposing thoughts.

I bet small to try 2 things: to balance when on this spots I don't have the A and get a cheap bluff, and to try that the opponent goes into spewy mode and raise this time that I actually have the A. But at the same time this play is contradictory by it self, because could get more bluff raises when I'm bluffing, or I could be leveling my self thinking that my hand is the best when I get raise (and then this size doesn't accomplish his purpose).

In practice, I've seen that bet like 1/3 pot on this spots (even against 2) is profitable, because you get a lot of folds at least in PLO25. On the other side usually when a TAG raises here I'm against AK+

So for the future, how should I play this hand? cbet small and fold if I'm against a reg (without reads) or shove if I'm against a fish? cbet half pot/fold?

Thanks

Hi,

interesting spot here. It's so hard to fold because villain could have A + fd here that raises. However when they do raise here it really looks like a boat or AKxx, so you can maybe fold.

I would stackoff if my kickers were live, (if the T was a 7 for example) almost always.

Basically you have to ask yourself what do you think villain is raising you with. Then come to your own conclusion. Don't make rules set in stone here. Keep asking about what hand villain could have in your opinion, and then the play becomes simple :)

Regards,

Skod
