Hello!
I have a few questions and remarks about this hand:
1) his stats were 19/21 so he was not very loose, but had a 16.1% 3bet. I think that he felt I played too loosely and he tried to 3bet me a lot.

2) I feel that I get a good flop, as his 3bet range is pretty wide, he conti bets ( he had 100% conti bet on the 90 sample size hand I had). I am not sure whether I need to call here or not. On the one hand I think I dominate him in this situation, and can get more value when he might conti bet on turn, but on the other hand a club might pop out.

3) If I go with my lane of calling, and then a club does come out, what do I do ? check/fold?

Thank you very much!!

Hey FizzBA,

Given your read on his aggressive preflop 3betting we should definitely call here preflop.

Good flop for us we should call vs our opponents cbet, folding is out of the question.

On turn it's good to bet for protection but we don't need to bet so large in order to do this. Something like $0.70 would be a more appropriate bet sizing in this situation.

W34z3l,

Given that the villain is aggressive and OOP to us, what do you think about checking back the turn in the hope that villain will bluff or value bet too wide on the river?

It's usually not that effective at these limits because

a) players rarely take the bet/check/bet line as a bluff

b) we fail to protect our holdings on a drawy turn texture
