Hi

Kinda hate everything about this hand. is it a sign I should's folded pre? :f_biggrin:

Pre: normally I would 3-bet this hand, and likely would have to call the 4-bet if BU shoved given the stacks. But given how tight the BU was, I wasn't sure getting 66 all in pre for 27bb was a good idea. So decided to call and play a smaller pot. I don't quite have the odds to set mine, but expect to be able to take it on low runouts. I do open myself up to a squeeze from BB, but they weren't too trigger happy with 3-bets despite being active, and I was ok with them overcalling

Flop: is there any consideration for donking? The flop hits my range much better than theirs, but they aren't going to fold overpairs, and may even decide to continue with overcards, because people often disrespect donk bets. The reason I decided not to donk was that I didn't think there was much to protect again. There're diamonds, sure, but not much else. Again, given how tight the villain has been so far, I don't expect them to have gutshots like A3 and A5. Given how frequently the villain misses this flop, I opted for check/raise (which I think is the standard line)

Looking back at this hand now, an extra argument for donking is that it's hard to play for villain's stack over 2 streets, so assuming they take no aggressive action, we have to bet the flop to play for stacks. But I won't pretend I thought about it at the table

Turn: this is the street I have least doubts about, card hits villain's range, they can call with 1-card flush draws even when they don't have a pair. I wonder if I should bet bigger to represent a flush draw of my own?

River: I dislike the overbet. I'm trying to represent missed diamonds, but think I definitely was supposed to bet bigger on the turn if I have a flush draw. Betting this big also doesn't give me room to fold when villain shoves (although don't think I would've considered folding regardless of sizings). Also I don't know if they call an overbet with 1-pair hands? Think a bet around 2/3 pot (650k ish) would've been better

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

well you cant call for set value. I just ship pre this oop even vs this player. If you want to call I would play it the same.

Shoving for 27bb seems to much for me, but you can easy 3bet to like 400k.
Now you deal with a nit and is calling not that bad, but post-flop seems standard untill the river.

A 400k bet for value is good enough and if he shoves you have still room to fold. I doubt he shoves with any weaker hands.

100% 3bet PF. There is no hand in Sb vs BU you can call. It's raise or fold.
I would raise 4.5-5x and shove any good flop.
