Here I call on the flop cause I believe that he is on a draw and he will push it on the turn no matter what but maybe he will fold if I re-raise him on the flop. Any suggestions?

Bad suck out, but you tempt the BB to call with your minraise early. Remember he already has 1200 in the pot, so it's just 1200 to call an 4000+ pot. I would bet 2/3rd of the pot on a drawy board like this since there are straight and flush possibilities. With an under 1/2 potsized bet you tempt him to call with a flush- or straightdraw. Your call on the 3bet is great, since he is bluffing and he hits his miracle card on the turn. You had a read on him?

ship flop, call sucks imo - don't let him see turn without paying big for it.

i would 4bet shove on flop. Calling 3bet on this drawy board and then shoving on turn when your hand didn't get stronger doesn't make any sense...

^ the raise on the flop isnt called a 3bet, the reraise (which he didnt do) is called a 3bet.
I agree with shoving the flop, but the turn shove makes perfect sense, and his hand does imrove against 76 and also killed half of the outs of 7x and 6x, so against the BB's range AA's equity skyrocket on that turn. Too bad he had the highly unlikely 3, but what can you do... :f_grin:

I have moved your hand to the tournament hand discussion board, because its fits better there.

I also 3 bet shove on flop and further its unlucky here.
Further I recommend that you remove the outcome of the hand next rime or put it in a spoiler.

Cheers,

@LeNNy010 the only read is that he calls a bit more preflop.

Nice suggestion SDK1987, I forgot it again :)

Thanks for the answers!

Yeah okay. Sometimes it works to make your betting size a bit bigger with these players, since they are temped to call with any hand from the big blind. You are welcome, hope it helps for next time. Don't try to feel all that bad about it because sometimes you are just unlucky. :)
