Hey all,

I review this hand and from SB I catch a mistake as long as I should have defended my blind.
Studying this hand I think fold was good enough. On the flip side, I had a chance to have a range of raise/fold for this kind situation.
How do you play from SB?

888 Poker - 100/200 Ante 20 NL - Holdem - 3 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 14.91 BB (VPIP: 21.74, PFR: 9.09, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 23)
BTN: 20.23 BB (VPIP: 43.48, PFR: 17.39, 3Bet Preflop: 16.67, Hands: 23)
Hero (SB): 39.85 BB

3 players post ante of 0.1 BB, Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.8 BB) Hero has 9♣ 5♠

fold, Hero calls 0.5 BB, BB checks

Flop: (2.3 BB, 2 players) 2♣ A♥ Q♣
Hero checks, BB checks

Turn: (2.3 BB, 2 players) J♦
Hero checks, BB checks

River: (2.3 BB, 2 players) 8♣
Hero checks, BB checks

Hero shows 9♣ 5♠ (High Card, Ace)
(Pre 60%, Flop 76%, Turn 83%)
BB shows 3♦ 8♦ (One Pair, Eights)
(Pre 40%, Flop 24%, Turn 17%)
BB wins 2.3 BB

Thanks!

The BB looks fishy and is the short stack 3 handed and I would always raise or fold here. In this case I would fold or he folds way too much on steals. No need to play a speculative hand out of position and you can steal a lot from the BTN as big stack. That’s more interesting than to play OOP here.

Cheers,
