Want opinions on this hand. I have a agg/solid image. Villian is a 29/18 and chip leader. His standard open was 3x and I could tell from our history that he was not very good. He had flatted one of my 3bets prior and folded to my 1/3 pot cbet and folded to all other 3bets pre. I am 3/5 but we are all pretty close in chips.

Bad 3bet, I think. The hands that flat your 3bet will usually be unpaired broadways that dominate your hand. The sizing also puts us into a pretty awkward spot OOP post-flop. It's like a 1.4x jam or we make one c-bet and are crippled if we face resistance and get raised. If we're floated once we have no fold equity even if this guy is a fish. 

I guess I'd rather jam (high variance, obv.) or flat it and keep the weaker hands in his range. 

Curious to hear what others think.

As played the river is probably a fold. It's so hard for him to have a bluffing hand here and he also won't really show up with a worse Kx – I doubt KT plays the hand this way. K9 obviously kills us and less than that is folding pre, I would think.

I check and flat turn and then check river to give him a chance to bluff all of it on river, otherwise I would have jammed turn but that would be bad imo because worse does not call often enough. Think I am giving him an opportunity to bluff and committed on river.

I probably 3bet shove pre or fold. I don’t necessarily like calling bc you really don’t know where you stand in he hand going forward. I know it is a little much to 3 bet shove, but w/dead money in middle you will probably take it own w/your fe most if the time to be profitable. If called we will just have to get there:) I just don’t like 3bettin w/marginal hand vs fish who will be calling you a bunch, and then you are playing oop with awkward stack.

If we 3bet jam we are only getting called by worse. I forgot to mention that he has a fold to 3bet stat of 75%. I take it down a bunch, hand plays well post, and really dont mind playing against weaker player post even though i am a little short for it.

I think if you are going to 3 bet this hand you might as well 3 bet jam it.  If you 3bet and get called you are left with roughly 20 bb's and if you miss the flop you are in an awkward spot with your stack, not to mention OOP. Like FkCoolers said it really is high variance so I don't hate a flat here as I would assume villain is opening super wide here on the button and there are many weaker hands in his range. Honestly I probably flat, due to your history with this guy and see what happens.  I check/call on the flop because we can assume he is c-betting almost 100% of the time on this board and are more than likely still ahead. When the turn brings the Kd I think I check/jam.  You obv are never folding and flatting is bad due to the 3 diamond board. If he checks back I probably jam any non diamond river, except an A as it would be a little over a pot sized bet and I think it looks really fishy.  If the river is a K I probably value bet  to induce or hope he either spazzes or pays me off with worse.

I hear ya hawk on the 3 bet, but more times than not the 3 bet jam is going to get through with the fe and you are picking up chips. Isnt this the reason to 3 bet here regardless of 3 bet jamming or not? We aren’t 3 betting for value other than the villain folding IMO. However, with the history you have with the villain warrants a flat and outplay post. Btw, what did he have?

but sometimes thats ok when there is so much money in the pot already while also having to not make a difficult decision on a future street. im still not advocating you CRAI turn but that kinda thinking isnt always accurate.

as played though hes not floating flop with Kx cuz AK ship pre and KQ would be strangely played this way. his turn bet is either inducing or its just weak. so when you get to river and he bets i highly doubt he does this with a showdown hand thats worse cuz i really think he wud chk back something like 77/88. TT prob ships it pre. he cud have A9 or flushes but also air but he shud know ur didnt just put most of your stack in to fold river…but if hes a retard like u say he might not know this.

I just wouldnt have made it such a difficult hand, personally. id prob 3b bigger pre and stuff any flop unless it was completely crushed.

Good posts. I'm just laughing at the fact that bingydread1 made a final table. That's all I got.

(I think it's 3bet jam or fold pre fwiw.)

Thanks for all the responses. Villian had A2dd for the flush. I see what you all mean and will take it into account next time. 3bet jam seems kinda high variance ICM wise. Thanks guys

ugh…just note the retard speculates with shallow effect stacks. its so bad and annoying when they play turrable but win chips.

You are on the BB. I can understand 3betting pre more so if your from the small blind, given your stack size I think the only play here is to flat and play post vs a “fish”.

We're gonna get flatted soooo much here when we 3bet vs this guy, and this isn't a great hand to do it with. I think I prefer either flatting pre and letting him fire some chips at us when we flop well, or just jamming over the top of his open.
