Hero (SB): $173.98 (174 bb)
BB: $239.04 (239 bb)
MP: $121.85 (121.9 bb)
CO: $100 (100 bb)
BTN: $68.15 (68.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5♠: 6♦: 9♠: 3♦:
MP folds, CO raises to $3.50, BTN folds, Hero raises to $11.50, BB raises to $38, CO calls $34.50, Hero calls $26.50

Flop: ($114) 4♥: 7♥: A♦: (3 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $31, CO folds, Hero calls $31

Turn: ($176) 3♠: (2 players)
Hero bets $104.98, BB calls $104.98

River: ($385.96) 8♦: (2 players)

So... iirc CO was on the tight side. Think that already makes the 3b kind of thin... However, BB is a recreational player - quite poor postflop. My intention was to fold to the 4b if CO folded but once he called I felt the odds were too good to miss.

Maybe I'm thinking about the spot wrong though? Am I better of in a HU spot vs likely defined range than MW with greater likelihood of my draws being dominated?

As played, I assume it's better to flat this small cb than to x/r (since I'm in bad shape vs his range, especially when he has top set + nfd which is the kind of hand that would bet this small)? Even vs top set no fd we're only flipping...

Do you agree it's best to donk shove turn since I'd expect top set to x/b this turn somewhat often?
Thanks

What is the reason for 3betting?

I can't think of one, now you ask. I could argue that it's part of a balanced 3b range but I'm not sure it's convincing.

Would you just flat pre?

I would fold rather than flat SB, I think from this position this hand will not be profitable. For a 3bet I would like more connected hand to include it for balanced 3b range.

I think postflop is wp. OTT it's very likely money gets in either way, but donk shove is fine I think.

Yeah, I was about to ask the same. Why build a bigger pot out of position with a weakish hand against a strong range... I dont think I would even flat it :f_thumbsup:

I would fold it too.

Balancing is a nice thing. That brings the next question, what does balancing mean for SB 3bet range against CO open? Why do we balance it? How do we balance it? What is the % of 3betting against CO open? What kind of hands we have in that range?
