Hey,

Here's a hand in which every action felt close to me. Comments welcome!

Spoiler

Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BTN): 87.9 BB
SB: 136.5 BB
BB: 114.7 BB
UTG: 96.3 BB
UTG+1: 118.4 BB
MP: 209.4 BB
MP+1: 97.3 BB
MP+2: 114.1 BB
CO: 54.3 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q♠ A♠

UTG calls 1 BB, fold, MP raises to 4 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 11 BB, fold, fold, fold, MP calls 7 BB

well played.

OTF 8bb is enough. the only close decision is to fold to the fop raise, which i like. you have AA, JJ, AJs and AK here to defend. you are not getting exploited.

I would use the automatic reload option next time. This way you have always at least 100bb starting stack.

Not sure why you use a spoiler.

I would most likely just call pre-flop and play in position against a tight villain. As played Cbet could be smaller, but after villains raise you need to give up.

Cheers,

I like a 3bet or a flat, I've seen nits flat weaker ranges like 98s, T9s, JTs, etc (although, they are IP) and just give up to a small cbet. Bet folding this board is okay, I doubt he is doing this with a flush draw or a just a pair.
Does anyone else check back this flop, is that even okay to do vs this opponent?

WP indeed. VS a reg NIT we are almost always behind by far.
VS a loose aggressive maniac type I guess we could/should make the call.

Problem with checking behind is that we don't like most turn cards. Our hand needs protection I think.

Hello,
The ROL range of a NIT is not very loose, so from that range that a 3bet pays I imagine it will be smaller than usual.
And if he plays like this on that flop we would only be beating a few FD combos, since he doesn't have all the Club Axes.


Mesa: 6♠A♣J♣
       Equity   Ganar  Empate
MP3    67.78%  63.56%   4.22% { JJ, 66, AJs+, T9s, KcQc, QcJc, KcTc, JcTc, AKo }
BU     32.22%  28.01%   4.22% { AsQs }

And this if the FD always raises, so as you play it I see the fold ok.

Another line would be chbh, giving away equity apart from his range but we wouldn't isolate ourselves and could induce some bluff or probet of worse hands; This type of villain will only turn and river bet you with very strong hands and you can fold without being exploitable.
