Hello, guys!
Preflop was pretty standard 3bet and also I guess the cbet was ok, but when the villain reraised me I wasnt sure what is the best play. He was opening very wide preflop so I was afraid of sets and two pairs (what he actually had), but on other side - I thought he could have had straight draw and he is just trying to steal the pot or maybe hand like AT which would be good for me. Also the SPR was low and it means I was too deep involved in the hand so I decided to call. Correct me if I am wrong. :f_thumbsup:
Also I would like to know about Cbet size. Was it okay or it could be a smaller or a bigger?

As he is the chipleader at the table I suppose he could be limping with good hands to get some raises, but its unlikely. I think most of the time youre up against some QT or maybe A9. Its just that he does not have fold equity after he goes all in on the flop. As played, I dont think there is any better way to play this hand.

Hey,

Pre flop: iso-raise is ok but I would bet 2,2bb + 0,5bb per limper.

Villains limp range: TT-22,ATs-A2s,K7s+,Q8s+,J8s+,T9s,98s,87s,76s,ATo-A2o,K8o+,Q9o+,JTo (possible)
Villains call in big iso-raise: TT-22, A9s,KTs+,QJs,AQo-ATo,KJo+,QJo (possible)

Hands that he missed flop completely or made 2nd best hand: 22-88 and TT, AT, AQ, QJ, KJ,
Hands that he hits better than yours: 99, A9, AJ,

Because of that I agreed with cbet of 1/2 pot.

When he shoves I would think: He made a best second hand or a monster (I can't bieleve in bluff co's he's a calling station and I want to keep my equity in the tourney).

Best 2nd hands that he would bet: AQ ou TT - As there are 2 hands that I can win against 3 that I'll loss I prefer to fold.

Cheers,

Arnalsan

We have invested a decent amount of our stack with a 3bet and Cbet and I don’t think I can really fold on his shove with top pair top kicker. If he’s beating us it’s too bad I think. With the chips, we have invested we only need to win this hand 27% (5,5k/20,4k*100%) to make this call profitable. And I expect we will do this.

Because of this I really like to participate in a forum like this. You raised a key point and with 27% is fair enough included the villain can hold a 2nd better hand.
