Hallo Guys,

seriously, I tried to use one of those free Hand Converters but failed due to the lack of readme.txt. I apologize for that. A HUD I am not using for the moment, and I feel good with that. On the micros there isn't much sense in playing GTO'ish style. Many of the people tend to be very honest, and with attention towards betsizing, earlier tells, and the time they take for decisions I do make a positive winrate.

I was playing 6max NL2 on a table filled with recreational players and woke up in UTG with KhKs, which I opened to 3bb. Everybody felted up to SB who called, and BB, who also called. I had 171bb stack, SB 149 bb and BB had 86 BB.

SB is a sometimes very loose fit-or-fold player who also has betsize-tells. BB is a guy who tends to exploit that tendency and always bets vs a missed cbet from SB. He is sometimes overly aggressive and I bet he overplays a lot of his onepair-type of hands.

Now, flop comes 2h6h6s. SB checks, BB take some time and then bets 2/3 potsize. I have overpair + K high bd flushdraw, so I decide to call. Usually, but not all of the time when someone donks a suited board, he has the flushdraw. SB folds.
Turn comes Qh
, which improves me to the K high flushdraw, and I still have that KK overpair, so I do not hesitate to call the 70% potsize 2nd barrel from BB.
River blanks a 7c. BB take some short time to think and then overbet-pushes his stack (1,27€) into the pot, which is 1 € big.

With only overpair and facing this load of aggression I mucked. I do not expect anyone to call this River but yeah, maybe you can share some words on this.

Calling turn is a bit loose. Board is paired and you do not free to nuts...

I also think that we should think hard before calling turn. Villain is SS and in mw he probably thinks twice before he invests his money in a hand..

Call turn is okay but we are almost never calling a river bet (unless we hit a K!).

played fine, dont think we can be so certain that we are beat on the Turn so it's a clear call

I like how you played the hand. Also, I don't agree with the oppener that we don't need HUD because we don't have to play GTO style. HUD helps us to exploit people i.e. profit from not playing GTO.

Thats true alleen, I know about the benefits of HUDs, but for now, I don't want to loose myself endlessly in thinking about 1 of 500 stats before doing my action. I have my priority still on understanding "the game" and how to play good and wisely, and if I mastered this more I will use HUDs to adapt to people better.

Thank you guys for your answers! Very appreciated :) So some of you would not even call twice with potentially drawing to the nuts (ok there is one handcombo that we could not beat - 66)? That is very cautious.

I did not invest the time to construct a gameplay for this board but I would be surprised if this hand is is in my turn-folding range

@Hesticus: Villain is not a SS-Player - he is a recreational player who does not auto top up his stack. Kind regards

Just a small note:
22,QQ, flush beat you too. So you are far away from the nuts. And you draw to second nut flush as AhX will beat you if you hit your Xh on river...

We can regard this as a SS player. You will see the difference against someone who follows the SSS and is a regular and who is SS player/recreational player. However, the way you categorize is totally up to you :)
