What about a peel on the Flop with the backdoorstraightdraw and the A?

I dont like the c/c c/r that much when the T pairs on the Turn, because most oppenents will call down lighter imo because you wouldn't c/c c/r with a 9 or a 7 and he might think that you would c/r a T and therefore in his view your range is pretty narrowed...

I would like it if a 9 or 7 hits tho.
What do u guys think about that?

Is this an individual player read? Cuz I think in general its super spewy to be doing that with Kx on that board texture and wouldn't expect most winning players to do so by default

Yeah looking at it now I like a peel too, but we do have some reverse implied odds to consider, so I think its probably pretty close

Well maybe the play sucked because most villains think we can't have 9x or 7x, but of course I play 9x and 7x that way pretty much as a standard on that board so they would be completely wrong. But I guess if you are right that people think that way then the play is bad and I'm gonna get rich c/c CRing 3rd pair on boards like this Smile

I don't hate it - given that I had a green note on him (meaning when I took the note I don't think he plays well) I tend to assume that when he does 3bet preflop he's more likely to 2nd barrel which means my thin peels won't be as fruitful since I won't get a free card as often. There's also a big chance my ace is dominated, and the king on board means I could be drawing to three outs. It does look like his stats are shaping up to be laggy, though, which probably means I should re-examine my green note - usually those are more for very loosepassive guys. I also see that he's very showdown bound which means I'd be less likely to semibluff him on the turn. So I feel a little better about a fold than a peel but I need to figure out more about this player. To be honest I could even fold it preflop without it being a big deal.

I see Kx pretty rarely here, but have seen it sometimes. If I'm ahead it's more often vs something like JT/QJ I think.

The biggest factor for me was that the guy always fires 2 barrels, so I feel like I'd always go for c/c c/r with my value range on that board, so I should do so with my semibluffs also. In a 6m game I probably would c/c c/r with 9x or 7x there but I think you're right that in a FR game with the tighter ranges those hands might not be worth a value c/r. And yes, a lot of players will c/r Tx on this kind of flop, or Jx on a jack high flop, because they reason their hand is vulnerable to a lot of turn cards and if their opponent has overs the turn might get checked back anyway. So when I don't checkraise the flop he doesn't put me on Tx as much when I c/r the turn. I like your thinking here.

What's your Cut-off for Calling on the right?
I would have instafolded K6o here even knowing that the Isoraiser will isoraise light, but the hand itself is pretty hand and also has probably negative or at best neutral IOs.
But you will probs call all suited hands with these bad players in that spot even though ur oop.

What Hands would you 3bet approximately?
Not sure about how to play smaller PPs in that Spot.because it's fine getting the pot HU with Dead-money but creating a multiwaypot with 2 bad Players is nice aswell.

I found it a bit surprising that you never even questioned the raise on the turn 9... maybe it's just how I run lately. It hits a fair part of villains resteal range and lots of the hands that the "wait till turn" raise targeted for value now end up owning hero. Am I thinking too weak here? FWIW, I'd have no hesitation about raising a paired 6 on the turn as it hits hero's range a lot better than villain's and can still occasionally prevent a 3! from overpairs.

Again a question about your CCing and 3betting range on the left hand table with 98s.
Do you coldcall 3 with PPs, if so with any? I guess T9s is close aswell.
How do you balance it? With which Hands would you coldcap? 99+AKo+ maybe AQs aswell? Do you sometimes coldcall with AA or KK to mix it up or do you think the value you loose is more than the deception you create 4way?

about the Flopplay: you probably bet out with Sets on that Board aswell to balance your play I guess, Do you c/r at all on that kind of flop?
