so this is final table of 55$ nightly on stars, i have been pretty active since we were 6 handed, i dont have stats on villian cuz i dont enjoy using my HUD i think it makes me play worse.
villian is solid aggro, has 3 and 4 bet my opens and 3 bets vs him often…we had been 3 handed for like 10 minutes when this hand comes up
preflop i know his range is really wide and i am very far ahead, 3 bet is ok but i choose a diff line, i thought flatting keeps a nice pot in position, and i can go ahead and rep almost everything post flop this way so i flat….
i flop gin basically for my flatting range here and try to think how i would play it if i had a big hand, knowing he is Cbetting like 100% of flops i decided i was just going to peel again and rep a really big hand on the flop
the turn card changes nothing in the hand and he leads again, when he barrells here i think his range is pretty polorized to nuts or air as i know that card changes nothing and is really bad for him to barrell, i also know he knows this, therefore i think when he barrells again its really strong or really week so i flat again continuing my story
on the river when he checks the K i think its interesting, i am pretty sure hes jus gonna 3 barrell if he gets there, and keep betting his nut hands, so when he checks im sure he has something like Ax, broadways type hands that dont have a K or just rando air/ 4 5 type hands, so i go ahead and make a bet i believe looks like its for value, its also about 1/3 my remaining stack…..
what do you guys think about this hand and how its played out…..please dont tell me you would 3 bet pre i really dont care ……thanks for your help

I would be raising turn with flush draws, combos, sets, over pairs. therefore i would be raising air aswell at that point.
when he doesnt barrel river after barrelling turn i highly doubt he is ever check/folding, the only hands that really check/give up are missed fds like QJss 7Jss 710ss J10ss QJhh 7Jhh J10hh etc, the majority of which A high beats. also there are alot of draws you could be floating so he could be check/calling a value hand to extract a steal rather than thin value betting. Also 9x hands may check/call this river as bet/call sucks and bet/fold doesnt get to showdown. I would check river and beat his missed draws rather than bet when he is likely to calling us a ton.
Overall think the flat and float is fine, i prob bet turn if checked to and then barrel river. or raise turn.
Id prefer a 3bet/5bet tbh but thats besides the point.
thanks dugg, ya obv 3 bet and stack it with a 5 would be good but i just wasnt feelin it here….
ya turn raise is good but the more i think about it, with more draw showing up on turn i just dont think hes really likely to fold here either, unless its a hand we are already ahead of…
i really actually think the best line after flatting pre would be to pile flop, i know its a bit of an overpile but hes continuing with liek 0% of his hands, and we are picking up lots of chips, and they hands he does continue with we hav about 30% equity… (even if he only continues with 55,66,99, and TT+ we still have 24%)

I dont like the preflop call. I would 3bet pre and take it down. I know you didnt want to hear this. But with A8 i tink its a 3 bet all day.
Well that flat was not so bad, i would 3bet just like twisted said.
But the line u take on the turn doenst make any sense.
If u 3bet the turn, u would put him on a hard spot, because that board hits ur flatting range pretty hard, and the 3bet would put him on a dificult spot with just a pair of 3 and a double-gutter, i think a pretty decent 3bet size 201599 do it.
On the river that King dont change anything, if u have TJs, QTs, 7Js, KTs spades u would have 3betted the flop anyway, i think KQ,KJ, even KT u would be 3betting pre flop with that hand, and never flatting the turn since u missed everything so, the king on the river is a pretty safe card for villian.
yea but alot of the time when he calls our raise on the turn he will be folding his alot of marginal value hands on the river because “we would never do this light”
do you know what his two barreling range is? kind of dont like the flop raise because if i was raised by a flatter 3handed on that board i would be 3betting a huge % . and are you planning on raise/folding? overshipping takes it down alot but when we are called we are drawing super thin.
i mean 910 prob has a hard time calling river, and hands like 98/97 without draws hate it when we get in in on river after raising turn. its such a nutty line.
I'd really like the turn raise, I do it myself a lot in spots like this. It's really hard for you to rep a big hand by flatting the turn and then betting the river after checked to you 'cause if I was the villain I'd feel like your range is K9 or the nuts. I think you would never go for thin value otr with 9x or weaker and I feel like you would raise any two pair or set on the turn. So given this I wouldn't stab the river but I'd definitely raise the turn and then jam the river.
ya good insite guys thank jus a few things
i think we all agree a river bet its pretty hard to rep a hand here, and he is mostl likely check calling with bluff catches, and giving up on bluffs which i already beat anyways most of the time
yes 3 betting pre saves all this hassel as he woulda folded and i prob dont get 3rd but it was just a time i felt like a standard line wasnt going to play that great vs said villian so i tried something diff, it didnt work.
and duggs if he calls flop when we pile we arnt drawing super thin we have 30% equity vs a lot of his range and 24% vs even the top top of his range, i really dont think its bad here at all

+1 to this.
shoving flop gets zero respect tho, whats your range for flop raises? Air/Overs/ gutters/ fds and at best 9xss. honestly feel floating is a must stronger and wider range where as your flop shove is pretty capped.
getting it in without decent equity given our edge and stack sizes and ICM doesnt seem ideal

it doesnt really matter what our range reps the fact is he cant call it off here, like ever and feel good about it….i played a live tournament with david baker and he took this line 3 times vs me at the FT and everytime i had big hands and you just cant do anything about it…
as for raise turn pile river i like it thanks coolers, was one of the things i thought of as i was laying in bed last night thinking about this, glad to hear someone else suggest it
