What about the times he randomly decides to Bluf Jam since we are Betting so small on the river? Isnt that a good enough excuse to check back vs possibly making a incorrect fold on the river? I know it seems weak to say , its just Ive leveled myself a few times making those small bets. Thank you.

We're not folding if you're talking about the AK hand if we bet river. Bet small for thin value in general is a good play vs your average players but not against the very good players. Good players will not call when you rep a thin value bet and their hand is the intended target so they will shove or fold.

The guy limped seems to be like a pro short stacker, he can shove like any Ax hands in that spot and you can't bluff even if he calls. Pretty sure reraising any hand you don't want to call a shove with is -EV.

What about raising huge with the flush draw here on the turn, there is a great chance you will win the pot, and if he does have a monster, he's probably just calling and if you hit the river you can jam..

How can you assume villain will not shove on you with a made hand when you raise huge? What if you don't hit the river after you raise huge? Lose a bigger pot? bluff jam?

Bet sizing is often just a math question. You need to balance your range and your betsize so you don't end up spewing.

How can flatting with ATs be good in the blinds against a fairly tight open range from MP? I mean our toppair will often be dominated, so I don't get it really. Or has it anything to do with the fact that we plan to play back on many boards that makes you think the call pre is good?

How do we play on turn when we c/c here (89 Q69r) and he keeps betting

1) On: Total Rag
2) Card that hits in the vid
3) T-J
4) Qx
5) A, K

Do you ever call 3 streets against standard betsizing?

Thanks in advance for reply cbet too much oop I think and would be lost here Smile

we don't plan on playing fit or fold that's for sure. Domination doesn'tmatter much both players only flop the same pair about 1/8 times and we don't have to auto stack off when we hit A. Domination goes both ways. our pair of T dominates his pair of T from hands such as 9-K T has well. No sure why people think only pair of A can be dominated by pair of T can't.

We'd put him on a range and call. We can't just play the board we'd also have to play the villain so the info you gave is only half the consideration. In spots where villain will barrel with wider range we call lighter. Easy call if any back door draws come in at least on the turn.

if i was in the villians shoes would it be a good idea to check raise the river, as you are repping a marginal hand?

no that's typical level 2 thinking and the difference between small stakes and mid to high stakes. Villain's perceived range isn't the only factor when playing vs competent opponents, we need to be on level 3 and think about our perceived range as well.
