Hey guys, I'm kind of new here but I'll be posting and commenting from now on out. Here's one spot I'm having trouble with:
Hero (CO): 140.5 BB
SB: 182 BB
SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has T♣ A♥ Q♦ K♠
fold, Hero raises to 3.5 BB, fold, SB raises to 11.5 BB, fold, Hero calls 8 BB
Flop: (24 BB, 2 players) 8♦ 5♣ 9♠
SB checks, Hero bets 17 BB, SB calls 17 BB
Turn: (58 BB, 2 players) 7♣
SB bets 55.25 BB, fold,
I have couple of questions:
1. Is this a 3b defend HU IP?
2. Is this a 3b defend HU OOP if we were CO and BTN 3b us?
3. Is this ever a 4b versus maniacal 25%+ 3b?
4. Does or how does defending a 3b maybe depend on villains 3b range as in probably versus tight <7% 3b range we should fold due to proximity affect vs AA and similar domination versus AKJxds hands while versus 12% 3bettor we might elect to call?
5. Can be a hand like JT98 rainbow played similarly as this hand in this spots or is a lot worse?
I hope it's not overwhelming but I really don't know any of it so advice is appreciated.
