[PLO100] AA99s 3bet pot vs small bets

First, why are you checking that flop? I think this is very clear Pot and call a shove situation.

4-7-Q threetone - I would pot

on distance to the session I agree with pot/broke flop. I guess ingame with the 4.5 SPR I felt like it is more on the higher than lower side of SPRs.

I was further thinking about if we expect villain to stab light on those flops, maybe checkraise is an alternative flop line and also how it depends wether we hold a backdoor or not...

I would cbet the flop, but with this line check-raising the turn is an option as well.

yes, agree, pot/broke flop. its new limit for me I wasnt recognizng this standard line quick enough.

I had a discussion with another reg who uses small bets often and from his perspective when villain is betting the turn its not looking good for us. and I can understand since I feel flop is either cheap stab to take it right away or trap: the draws can checkback to suck the high amount of overpairs that dont fold now anyways most of the time, weak 2 pairs can also checkback to pot control.

he might turn q blocker into bluff but we dont know if he is capable. i have little sd value here imo and want to see river since backdoor arrived. but when GII on turn i think i have very poor equity.

Your thoughts are flawed imo. This static board texture with the making it somewhat heavy needs a high cbet freq. For this reason we mix in half-pot sized bets frequently aswell but more often not with dry AA (be inclined to pot if your hand is more vulnerable). Considering board texture and villains preflop range he won`t have draws, the main danger is that his top-pair could improve to 2 pair beating us so there is need to protect our hand. Any 2pair is going nowhere at this SPR and should be shoved aswell.

Congratz btw. for reaching PLO100. You are always 1 step quicker than me.

so since I did the flop mistake it is getting really interesting because when I played flop wrong and am able to checkraise turn as many mentioned, what do you guys do vs the big river bet?
