Crabfish 25/13, hands 460

I think it was probably a misclick for him preflop, so I assumed it was his normal raising range.

What I got confused about in this hand is that after I made my cbet, I realized that I couldn't really b/f anymore because I had so little left behind. My question is if it's better for me to bet around the amount I did and then call a shove, or to bet smaller (say half pot) so that I can b/f. It seems to me that betting smaller and folding to a shove would be better because the two bet sizes would have similar fold equity I think, so betting less is saving me from being forced to call off another 100$ probably behind.

Thanks for asking this question, I've been thinking a lot on this lately, without reaching a satisfying answer I must admit. I'm very interested in what the coaches will say!

Also I would add, against not so good opponents (I guess 25/13 aren't good 6max stats), could it be of any interest to 3bet a little less PF to give us some room post flop?

OFF topic question: the same "concept" may apply when isolating bad limpers. When these limpers are loose, you usually know they will call you light and you often have to go all the way to the river with medium strength hands. Maybe starting to keep the pot small PF would be a good idea, but I'm not sure...


Pot is 266, you have 293 left.
Just shove it, you have fold equity against some one pair hands (like 9x, or 88) and bu shoving he can´t really shove his draw and should fold.
DOn´t really like making here 130 bet and then fold to shove. That line is very good when you hold jj or overpair and induce bluffraise by weaker hands.

I don't like making a very small bet, but I also don't like a shove, because you will not balance it with your very strong hands. I just bet/call it with a usual bet size. If you 3bet pre you have to know that the pot will be very big and you only hit 1/3 of the cases. therefore you need to make the plan preflop. If you 3bet you have to b/c in nearly 100% of the cases.If you want to avoid that just call preflop and play more postflop.

Best regards,

Wow.. I'm kinda surprised that this wasn't a fake missclick. I have no clue what somebody calls a third of his stack with and then folds this flop.
