Hello!

I got another hand for review.

 

Setup: We are far away from money bubble. I decide to make somewhat loose open with A9s UTG. Anything worth note about villain: he is playing pretty standard, but few hands ago he lost huge part of his stack in KK vs AA hand and he might be steaming and little bit more inclined to playback at me in this pot.

 

…..ndNo=31010

 

I decided to play my hand aggressively. However, now im much more towards playing it more cautiously. Flop seems to me pretty standard.

At the turn I dont like my 2nd barrel. First of all turn card strongly hits his preflop calling range. In addition to this my hand still got a lot of equity and I am obliged to call almost all resonable sized raises at this board texture. So in my opinion it is optimal to go here for pot control and check/call this street.

As played, now Im much more towards calling off his raise and see the river. Plus if he is really steaming it is still very likely he will pay us of when we hit our draws. I think we have very small fe there. He is most likely on pair+draw hands, straights, 2pairs hands so we dont achieve much by making this semibluff shove.

 

Most probably this is my whole thought process. Hope hand is clear for everyone and of course Im looking for some replies. Am I correct with my assumptions? Did I spazzed out badly ?

 

Thanks for reading. Obviously will post hand result later on.

 

Regards

Used to play those draws this way when I first started. Your thought process already explained the reasons why not to play it aggressively. I mean the first barrel is fine. But then he gives you a free card and you decline it, sit down and think about it, you are behind in this texture most of the time. Semibluffing should be used when not getting good odds, but here you are taking a free card. I would check call reasonable bets till the river with this hand.

If you've seen my bluffing series, this is either a 0 or 1 spot. The tricky thing is that you probably ought to bet if it's a 1. Given the opponent description, though, I think it may be a 0. I definitely think it's a 0 after he check-raises. If you're a lot deeper, such that it's much harder for him to check-raise you with stuff like two-pair, then barreling becomes much better.
