HI!

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$5/$10 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7:h, 3:h.
MP3 folds, CO raises, BU folds, SB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 6:s, 4:s, 8:h (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, CO bets, SB calls, Hero raises, CO calls, SB folds.

Turn: (5.5 BB) 8:c (2 players)
Hero bets, CO calls.

River: (7.5 BB) 9:h (2 players)
Hero bets, CO folds, Hero gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: 7.5 BB.

CO ; 25/18/2,3 Typical TAG with low WTSD 30%
SB ; 50/20/0,8 big fish

When there is a bad player in the game I tend to defend close to 100% of my suited cards.
Flop I obviously cant fold but like a raise more than a call since TAG will often give up on the turn with overcards as he is trapped between 2 players. As for a fish I see him calling so much on this flop so I should have enough FE to play it this way.
River is a perfect scarecard so there is no otherway but to make another bet.

what do you put the CO on here after he calls the turn? Most likely he would raise the turn with a spade draw, and with 30wtsd as you suggested fold overcards with a player behind, so it seems to me he has some showdown value.

Although, there arent many 6x , 4x, in his range and any 8x would have been raised on the turn. Similar with pocket pairs, they would most liekly be played more aggressively. So i think a strong part of his range is a-high which he decides to hang on to on the turn, and i guess this will fold 1 in 8 times on this river card.

Just wondered what your thoughts where on his range?

Hi!

Turn is HU...when he just calls I put him 95% on overcards(probably with SD value...Ahigh,KJ,KQ). With this scarry river which completes most draws he will definetely fold them often enough.


I usually wouldn't check/raise this flop as SB already called and so you have to improve against his to win this hand. With only 4 decent gutshot outs I prefer to play this by odds and outs.

As played the best case happened. I don't understand how this guy folded to the check/raise but if he was folding that much then the check/raise is the best play here.

After his fold the turnbet is standard of course. After his call I agree and see him holding A-high or something like that almost all the time. The river completes a few straightdraws and as you have no showdownvalue I give it a try as well. Sure the flushdraw is busted but he only needs to fold 1 out of 8,5 times which will most likely happen especially with such a low wts which tells us that he doesn't like to see a showdown with A-high very often.
