My stats: VPIP 36.5 / PFR 26.0 / 3b 12.0 / WTSD 45.1 / Hands 4851

Hand #6

Pre Flop: (1.4 SB) Hero is BTN with 9 :diamond: A :diamond:
UTG raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, 2 folds, UTG calls

Flop: (7.4 SB) 7 :diamond: 5 :heart: A :spade: (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets, UTG calls

Turn: (4.7 BB) 6 :club: (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets, UTG raises, Hero calls

River: (8.7 BB) 5 :spade: (2 players)
UTG bets, Hero calls

My thoughts:
PF: I prob. make a mistake here (I think), MP open is often AT+ so I will quite often dominated, (he is UTG, but it's 5-handed)
F: quite good, if he doens't have an Ace, standard cbet
T: not a really bad card. That feeling changes when villain x/r me, since I have a GSSD it think I should call, but I'm not sure. I guess most times any 8 or 9 will be good so I have 7 outs if I balance sets/straights vs bluffs I have the odds to call
R: Same problem as T, just no outs if i'm beat, the question: will he bluf 11% of the time like this?

So what do you think, should I call/fold the R. Or should I have done something else Post-Flop?

It’s also good to know our villain stats in this hand, but 3betting seems wide against a UTG range.
I would most likely defend with calling in position and calling him down on an A high board like this.

As played I would most likely fold the river. I can’t imagine he would check/raise bluff the turn and bet the river as well.

Cheers,

preflop good 3bet vs MP. A8/A7s would be more marginal but probably still ok

If villain has a "normal" preflop range and doesn't x/r flops very often (slowplayer), checking back on turn can be a good idea. As a default, betting is ok. You have to bet/call because of your outs.

River is pretty marginal with this hand. If I had AJ, I'd call for sure (he could have slightly more bluff combos and we'd have a slightly better kicker). AT-A8 are close, not sure what's best. This isn't a decision you should worry about

How funny, all decisions are marginal. I'd personally check back turn. It feels like way ahead/way behind, and I don't want to pay a double bet to find out. Little risk is involved with a "free card" since we are often the ones getting it when we check. (Then there's now way we fold on river.)

Pre 3-bet is marginal but I guess it is ok.

Post flop don't have much to add to your own comments :).
