Hiya Anto!
advice for these spots, please?
(BB is a fishy, fairly passive and not opening a ton, but 3Bs a lot oop, and only hd of note before this was when they flatted 65o (2.5x), chk/clld 7cTh9h flop, 3s trn chkd thru, rvr 6s BB leads 1/2pot and clls my rse!? (@ 20/40 lvl)

With the AK, I made it 3.5x as I figured it could induce more lighter 4Bs, and was very surprised to get a call at this stack depth

Q'ns:
- should I just 3B-shv pre? (ie: when to divert from defaults, and 3B sml, especially @ 15-25 BBs)
- thoughts on my CB? sizing?

thanks!

Hello sherriffatman,

I'm sorry for the delay. I forgot about the hand.

Yes, 3-bet shove pre. We are too short for just a 3-bet. With more than 20BB you can 3-bet.

On the flop for this stacks make a very small inducing c-bet. Something like 1/5 of the pot. No need to make a big c-bet on villains stack is smaller than the pot. Bet to 1/5 of the pot or a bit bigger is fine and ofc snap call for this stacks if he shoves.

Guys if you have any questions, do not hesitate to write in this thread by clicking the button or

Best regards,
Antoan :pokerface:
