Im pretty sure the SS isn’t squeezing here much. based on his line pf, he rly only squeezes here if he has a set, which, o well. this is a great spot to call imo because all of my improvement cards are nonRIO and the turn is easy either way

I def. don’t like the flop call, if this was a HU pot I would turbo call (or raise) facing such a small CB(relative to the size of the pot) but when your in a multi-way pot, out of position that includes a SS that can squeeze a large range which than forces us to fold it becomes -EV imo.

hard to say what his hand was given the river fold. but he def will call two bets with an A. however, the CR is super strong, so he might have folded due to that.

and yes, this was on PS, so 20+vpip is loooose =)

well if he did have an A he was able to find a fold on the river, when a blank fell.

25/12 over 45 isnt that terrible……. oh this was on ‘Stars so he must have been a fish if he was in VPIP of 20′s

I guess he had KK or QQ and was praying to hit his 2 outer on the river.

CO is 25/12…why are we giving him credit for being able to consider the strength of my hand? players are dumb until proven otherwise.

he might even overcall with KK/QQ sometimes, but most certainly will never fold an A here. hence why i think donk>CR

If you lead the turn and MP1 calls its very doubtful that the other one would have called unless he had the combo club draw of AJ+, IMO. You are reppin a huge hand…..

I put shortie on AQ.

I think you won more money the way you played it than if you would have led the turn, IMO.

Am I anywhere close in what I am thinking?

1.) well it’s actually a tough call. there is probably limited IO if he has a hand like QQ, where I def don’t get stacks if/when i improve. 1/2pot is probably as big as I call up to. getting 3:1 immediate, with about 17:1 total w/ IO…is good to go for me

2.) hardly ever. it is a bluff play if i do, and i think my ROI when calling is much higher than if i CR.

3.) that is rly a math problem if that happens. see if i have PO+IO

Hope that helps =)

The flop call seems to me to be a wrong play since you are conceding his range has you beat. I know you stated that you are calling for implied odds, which I can understand. This of course is from a fairly new player.

My first question is how often would you just fold that after his flop bet, if he bet half pot are you done?

Under what conditions would you raise his flop in hopes of taking it down, or is that never really a good idea?

If you miss hitting a 6/7 on the turn but pick up a flush draw how strong/passive would you play it?

Thanks in advance for your comments.
