I’m pretty brand new to the table.

Not sure what he thought I had, or what I got him to fold, probably a baby flush I guess. However, I do know I was actually attempting to rep quad Aces on the river. :P

Since everyone puts you on AAxx when you 3bet, especially at these stakes, I like to take advantage of that and rep it when an A hits a flop and I 3 bet a not AA hand. Combine that with how people play fairly straight forward on monotone flops I c-bet. When I get flatted I totally plan on shutting down and check/folding the turn. After it gets checked through I see my opportunity on the river and I pounce, like a cat.

My first orbit at the table.

Now, since we’ve established that when people 3-bet their hands are heavily weighted toward AAxx hands especially at the micro/small stakes, and even more so from the blinds with an EP open, imo. Putting this guy on AAxx and without having a real clue on what he should do on the flop, he kind of tanked but it was more like he was virtually fumbling his chips, checking his cards, and stuttering.

I figured he had a enough behind to find a fold here since I should never have KKxx or AAxx here. I think it was a little too impulsive/spewey and kind of bad, but I had a gut shot and 2 backdoor flush draws… o_0
