Well hello there :f_drink:

I played this hand, and I think I didn't do at it's best. I played reasonable aggressive before, but since a few minutes I am quite tired and didn't put 100% effort and passion into the gameplay. I should stop playing by now. Well, I think I shouldve valuebet the Flop relativly small, so that he can call his flushdraws, pair + backdoordraws or maybe even 2nd or 3rd pair with ease. On the Turn, I probably shouldve continued betting, still quite small, and call a raise, check the river. Would that be reasonable line?

Spoiler

Outcome: BB won $0.62

You are checking the flop and he’s betting flop and turn. It looks like you misread the hand, but I think you could consider to Cbet the flop, because an ace could be a scare card of him as well and then you can bet with a set on the turn as well. Now you have checked it I don’t see a reason to raise on any street and it’s fine to check/call flop and turn. If he would bet the river you need to give up.

Cheers,

I really do not understand why you do not cbet the flop. The board is wet, the A is a nice scarecard. And that is the only reason why you can call his bet: he might have a flush or straight draw, or he might bluff. Ott, he has the flush and you have 10 Outs, or you are ahead. You can call. Otr, the last draws arrive, you are beat. Be glad that he gave you a free sd to make notes.

Dont worry to bet for value even with second pair. I know, the like playing aces, but also all other stuff. After flop they will often simply call you down with all sorts of draws. On this board I would just bet flop, bet turn for protection as well as value from draws. This river is then probably check/fold because many draws are there.
Just hypothetically, if the draws did not come there and your set neither I would x/c river as a bluff catcher of those busted draws.

I would cbet this flop for example 1/3, but also 1/2 is reasonable too. And then bomb the turn at least 3/4 of the pot.
In this spot I would consider about check/raise OTT to maximize our value from Ax hands, two pairs, sets and draws and fold to a big raise, depends on pot odds.

Thanks guys, those were some interesting thoughts and opinions :f_drink:

@SDK: I completly understand! Thanks bro!

@MrQNo: but what does a note really say - can we triple barrel 7 high flush on this board? He was somehow scared to valuebet this river. Yes. I will note that now

@Dandiik: awesome :) I like that you as well give advice for different runouts.

@Matostar: thanks buddy! I don't understand - you say you would cbet flop, cbet turn - and check/raise turn. I can see why you would want to raise the turn, but is it good line? Do we get many calls here from worse hands? Personally, I don't know. But I guess, since Villain can have (I didn't open equilab - so i can be wrong) more suited spade hands than 2pair + sets it could be wrong to raise the turn. I'm not sure if all Villains would call a raise with draws or even worse, with toppairs, and I am also not convinced that Villain would re-raise all his flushdraws so that we can have an easy fold. This all depends then again on the pot odds, so we might have to call to loose a big pot or win a smaller one with this line. I am not the biggest fan of that line.

I mean checkraise with your line if you just check/call flop, so then I would think about check/raise, but actually if I think about it more and more I would just check/call, because what are you representing with your line? Your range is quite capped because of check OTF, you shouldn't have any value hand like twopairs+, or strong TP, because with these hand you should almost always cbet. So your range is usually from worse Ax hands, 2nd,3rd..pairs. So I assume Villain can blindly triple barrel and it should be profitable for him. That's the reason why I would rather just check/call OTT and let him bluff also OTR. But instead of any spade card of course, then you have to fold.

Next time cbet flop please, to avoid the problems like that
